~~Explaining Witchcraft~~ 

  

It is quite hard to explain the craft because it often involves things that we don't have words for.  However, here are some facts about witchcraft.

*Witchcraft is Nature worship.  Witches celebrate the seaosns because the seasons are the gift of the Goddess and the God.  Witches need no more proof that the Godess exists than to look at the world around them - Nature is Her.

*It is a spiritual path rather than a religion because it has no dogma.  The only rule is "Harm None". It is a way of developing your spiritual side - to witches this is fun and enlivening. To witches, the body isn't  "unspiritual". It is a gift that can offer ways to spiritual experience.  No one denies her body in the name of religion can call her self a witch because that is an insult to the Goddess and the God who gave us our bodies.

*It is a magickal system.  This means that witches know or make up spells in the spirit of their tradition.  Within limits, witchcraft can get you things you want.  It developes your power, but this must always be power to, certainly never power over.

*It is a way of developing yourself.  Studying Witchcraft will h lep you to get to know yourself better and to become a more whole person.  It helps you to respect yourself and thus gain the respect of other people.

 

~What do Witches Believe?~

 

  • They worship Nature in some form or fashion
  • They believe that life is sacred and the all living things are part of the Goddess.
  • Most witches believe in a Goddess and a God. 
  • Witches believe that  it is up to each Witch to develop her or his own awareness of spirituality and to lollow the path that is right for the individual.
  • Witches believe that Sex is sacred and a person's body is a gift of the Goddess, to be enjoyed in a way that harms none, especially one's own self.
  • Most witches believe that  we go on in some form after we die, and probably the majority believe we are born again in new bodies.
  • Most, but not all, witches do magick.  They believe that the material world can be influenced by thought.
