Have you ever wondered what Witchcraft really is? Everyone has something to say about it, but not all of them are right. Pagans, Witches, Wiccans, these are all words that everyone is familiar with. But do you really know what these words mean? In this section I’m going to tell you what it is, what it isn’t and how to explain it to other people.
    First lets deal with all of the false myths about witchcraft. The following is a list of all of the things that are NOT true about Witchcraft:
  • Witches worship Satan.
    This is not true. The reason is because we don’t believe in Satan. It is impossible to worship someone whom you don’t believe in.
  • White Witchcraft is good magick, and Black Witchcraft is evil magick.
    There is no such thing as Black or White Witchcraft. Technically, all Witchcraft is good. Only people can be good or bad. It is not meant to be used to do bad things, some people just use it to do bad things. Kind of like the phone. It’s a good thing because it helps you communicate with other people, but if you use it to harass people then it would be bad.
  • Real Witches have magickal powers.
    That’s not true. Witches are real people. In fact, I’m a witch and there’s nothing unusual about me. That stuff you see on t.v. about flying on broomsticks and turning people into toads is just make believe.
    The reality is that Witches are people who work very hard to help other people. I describe them as healers. There are many ways to heal people. You can heal them emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Some Witches use herbs to heal people when they are sick; Some use divination (tarot cards, crystal balls, palm reading, etc.) to heal them emotianlly, and some cast spells to help someone spiritually. Of course you could cast spells to hurt someone, or to make them sick, but that would be going against the Wiccan Rede. A real Witch tries very hard to always follow the Rede. If you violate it than you aren’t being a real Witch.
