The Do's and Dont's of
Witches'
Witches do not do evil...
They believe that doing evil and harm is
against all ethical and moral laws. Witches
simply do not do harm (even to
themselves)
Witches DO NOT worship Satan...
Simply put: He's Their Boy... NOT Ours!
Witches 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". A
Male Witch is simply that.
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.*
