Witches do not do evil - They believe that doing evil and harm is against all
ethical and moral laws. Further, Witchcraft tells us "An ye harm none (not
even yourself), do what ye will".
Witches do not worship Satan - They do not have a Satan/Devil or any all-evil
deity in their religious structure.
Witchcraft is a religion that underscores polarity and views the God and the
Goddess as equal entities.
A male Witch is not a Warlock - The word Warlock is a Scottish word meaning
"oath breaker", and became a term designating a male Witch during the
"burning times".
Witches wear clothing of every color and every style - Many Witches do choose
to wear black clothing or ritual robes. The color black is the culmination of
all vibrational rates of light on the material plane. Black absorbs light
information and helps Witches be more receptive to psychic impressions and
energies.
Witches come from every socio-economic and ethnic background - Many Witches
are professional people holding positions of responsibility such as Doctors,
Nurses, Police Officers, Teachers etc.
Witchcraft does not discriminate against color or ethnic origin and does view
everything as equal in the eyes of the Goddess and the God.
Witches do use spells - A spell is a thought, a projection, or a prayer.
Other religions use prayer, meditation, projection and ritual to produce an
intended result. The word "spell" does not imply doing evil or harm.
Witches do use magic wands - Often you see the use of magic wands in
children's cartoons and movies making the idea seem frivolous. In actuality
they are used in healing for directing energy.
Witches do use Witchcraft as a science, an art and a religion - They use
their knowledge and magic in harmony with the Universe and Nature around
them.
The word "Witch" has a deep and rich history - As defined by the English
Oxford dictionary "Witchcraft" is a Celtic (pronounced Kell-tick) word
meaning the wise, good people. "Wicce" (wick-kay) designates a female Witch
whereas "Wicca" (wick-kah) designates a male Witch.
In the religion of Witchcraft we view the pentacle as an amulet and a symbol
for protection - The five-pointed star represents the human body and the
earth. In combination, the star surrounded by the circle represents the human
body encompassed by the protection of the Goddess/God force. The pentacle is
the symbol for Universal Wisdom.
Witches do concern themselves with ecology - They have never forgotten this
basic fact: the world is not our enemy. Neither is it inert, dumb matter. The
earth and all living things share the same life-force. They are composed of
patterns of intelligence, of knowledge, and of divinity. all life is a web.
We are woven into it as sisters and brothers of All. Witches need to be
grounded in both worlds and awake to their responsibilities for both worlds.
It is only by being responsible human beings that we can be responsible
Witches and only responsible Witches will survive.*
