Q. Are Witches Only Female?

A. Witches can be either male or female. A Misconception, Due to the influence of The media and Other forms of fiction. Many call male Witches "Warlocks." This term is considered quite rude and a slur By any Self respecting Witch.
Warlock is an old Scottish word meaning "oath-breaker," and would imply someone of having a traitorous nature. Since Pagans hold integrity and trustworthiness in extremely high regard, referring to someone as Warlock is considered serious business, and a tarnish on Ones honor.


Q. So what do Witches DO?

Above all, we value personal responsibility and right to believe in a higher power he or she is comfortable with. We Believe that each of us is responsible For living our own lives.
More Witches are becoming open about their beliefs. Their still many others must keep their religion private for fear of persecution and intolerance. We are a nature religion, Not A worshiper, but work with of Nature, we prefer to worship out-of-doors. Being with nature brings us closer to the divine who created it.

Q. What is a Pagan?

A. You see,The word 'Pagan' comes from the Latin word 'pagani', which means 'country-dweller'. During the Middle Ages, the new religion of Christianity was becoming more accepted By the Ruleing families of Europe and the British Isles. However, it was not so popular among the common people, who were more inclined to tend their flocks and crops than currying favor with the nobility of the day. The courtiers, educated by Latin-speaking clergymen, referred to these un-Converted masses as pagans, as basicly 'hicks', as might be said today. Pagan is not the Negatively connotative term as Media and history has made it out to be. Most true pagans are nature loving people with a firm belief in a source of Divinity.


Q. Why do people become Wiccan?

A. There are as many reasons as Stars in the heavens. Some women feel alienated from the mainstream of religion because there is no existence of feminine divinity. The Wiccan concept of the Goddess as the Mother of all living fulfills their spiritual search. Some are drawn by a need to get back to the Earth. Still Other Because of The Wiccan rede, which simply states, "Harm None, Do what thou wilt.." we are free to act as we see fit, providing that no other person suffers injury, pain, anguish, loss, or corruption, as a result of our actions.

Spells are used to create a needed change in one's own life or, If asked to, the life of anotherafter reciving permision to do so. One might consider the spells Witches cast as being similar to prayers.


Q. Do you practice "white" or "black" Witchcraft?

A. Witches tend to believe these terms promote racist thinking when used to describe the morality of one's Magick. Witches are just Witches. Asking someone if they are a good Witch or bad Witch is like asking if someone is a "good" Or "bad" Christian. Magick generally in it’s simplest from is gray or neutral.

Q. Do witches Believe in Jesus?

A. This Question is one of Controversy among many in the craft. Some believe that Jesus existed, only in a historical sense. Still, others believe in Jesus the same way they view the Yule child who is reborn each Winter Solstice; Some don’t believe in him at all, And think the topic of Jesus is irrelevant to them. Yet, Many Believe Jesus was Divine Being who taught Love and Tolerance. Who was a Sacred King, gave his life so that the lives of Others Could be renewed. Many Witches honor him in this way. Still many Believe him as the Son of the divine spirit of the universe and Honor him as such in all their works.


Q. Do You Believe in Satan?

A. Satan is an invention of the Christian and Muslim religions. It is Important to Note that important aspect of Main male deity worshipped by Pagans and Witches of old is the "Horned God," who is still revered by Witches and Pagans today. Because of this, when the church was converting the world to Christianity. The Church chose the Physical Attributes of the 'Horned God' to represent Satan as a hoofed and horned creature.

Since many Witches don't accept the Dogma of the Christian or Muslim religions, many do not recognize the existence of Satan, and certainlyno selfrespecting Witch would worship him/it. We believe that every individual makes choices, either good or evil, and that each is directly responsible for the results of their actions. We also believe in reincarnation, That the Karma one sends out in this lifetime Can be bad or good enough to follow them into the next Life. By Understanding this, it may be easier to understand why terrible things happen to wonderful people.


Q. The Bible says, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live"; What about that?

A. This passage was mistranslated in 'King James Version' of the Bible. The actual Hebrew Passage reads 'Suffer not a poisoner (or Necromancer) to Dwell among you'. Rashi a Prominent Commentator of Hebrew Scriptures in the 13 century tells us. 'These people were to dwell out side of the city walls, because their work made them Unclean. The word "Necromancer" in the Henrew Scripture translates simply to 'One who deals with the dead'. In English of today this Person would be a "Mortician". The Poisoner and Necromancer did not work on the Sabbath but also refrained from work the day preceding it. So they could cleans themselves, in order to goto the temple on the Sabbath.


The King James version was Translated during the Burning Times (our term for the anti-Pagan holocaust in Europe). It is well known that King James was extremely paranoid of Witches and Witchcraft. So it is not surprising that he decided to change the translation in the final version from the original meaning of "poisoner" to Witch. It is also of Interests to Note. That he translated scripture so that the aspects of his life that were contrary to Scripture were now allowed by scripture. King James was a know adulator, Murder, and thief. Would you really want to trust a Translation of the divines word written by such a man.


Q. O.K., well what about that Satanic symbol you use?

A. The pentagram is not Satanic. Most of the symbols Used by Satanists are really the symbols of a positive religion turned Upside down. Examples being the Cross reversed and the reversed Pentacle, Which is a symbol of life they turned upside down.
Many Witches are Appalled to be placed in the same Category of Satanic Groups that warp and twist the beliefs of others for their own Power and gain.


Q. Then What is A pentacle if it is not a satanic Symbol?

A. The pentagram is and was symbolic of health and the Cycles of life in a continual circle. Worn So Others can recognize one another. In Witchcraft, the five points of the pentagram correspond to the elements Air, Earth, Fire and Water, with the top point Representing "Spirit." It also it representative, of all the stages of life.


Q. You call Wicca a religion, isn't it really a cult?

A. Cults are generally lead by unforgiving selfish, egotistical leaders, who expect their members to blindly follow and never dare to question their authority. In Wicca, we welcome the sharing of knowledge, and the discussion and debate of many concepts and ideas. There are no grand, supreme, or 'omnipotent' gurus who lead Witches and Wiccans. We do not recognize an all encompassing Leader. We do not believe in dictating how others must live their lives. In fact, many Wiccans practice their religion alone. Those in groups or "covens" come together at appointed times to share the love, joy life holds for us. To celebrate the lessons that the events of the seasons, and what the circumstances of our lives, have to teach usm


Q. Do Witches have orgies and wild sex?

A. NO….NO…..NO….This rumor has been largely perpetrated by anti-pagan Speakers for centuries. By those who simply don't know, don’t take the time, or wish to find out the truth behind the retoric they speak. Witches are generally quite open-minded regarding sex, and have no rules prohibiting homosexuality, nudity, or pre-marital sex. The one rule of Witchcraft, "An 'ye harm none, do what thou wilt," We see harm to others, meaning by any means. This including misusing and Abusing the gift of sexuality is wrong. Sex is a perfectly natural act and is viewed by Witches as something sacred, a gift given by the divine


Q. What about reports of blood sacrifices and ritual murder?

A. We have nothing to do with such practices. They are Tragic And horribly harm another. The taking of life is something we believe isn't our choice to make. We Believe that to sacrifice another creature for personal gain as an Atrocity against The Divine and nature. This is a main reason why many Witches are vegetarian. Witches have a deep reverence for all life. To be involved in any sort of these practices would be contrary to what we hold sacred. It Defiantly goes "against our religion."
