The Principles of Belief | Real Witches do Not... | Daily Devotion
...hurt people physically, mentally, spiritually, or magickally. Witches have taken an oath to help people, not hurt people,
...take illegal drugs. The laws of our country forbid illegal drug use. Witches do work magick to help people who are sick, but they never, ever use magick instead of good medical care. They use magick with appropriate medical care.
...work black magick-that's those other guys. Real Witches know how whatever you do, whether in this world or in the magickal world, comes back to you three times. Ever mind the rule of three, what you give comes back to thee.
...fly in the sky on brooms. We buy cars and trucks and stay on the road like everyone else.
...eat babies. (gross!) Wiccans luv babies!
...kill animals (or anything else for that matter. Real Witches love animals. Animals are a part of Spirit, just like people.
...tell fibs or whopper lies. We walk our talk, and we know that a Witch is as good as his or her word.
...call themselves warlocks. The word warlock means "truth twister." Whether you are a boy or girl, man or woman, the name remains the same: Witch or Wiccan.
...get into some sexual perversions. Let's not even go there!
...drink or use blood in any way from animals, themselves, or any person (alive or dead).
...Change their hair color in the blink of an eye.
...steal or take part in any type of criminal behavior.
...pervert the symbols of any other religion, such as the cross or Star of David, or desecrate graves or statues of saints. We honor the dead as well as the living.
...summon demons. We simply are not that dumb.
...worship the Christian Devil. WE DON'T BELIEVE IN SATAN. We don't give power to bad things, because when you name evil, you give it power.
...believe in the Christian Hell. Real Witches believe that we are responsible for our own actions.
...coerce or brainwash people to join us. Witchcraft or Wicca is not a cult.
...use Satanic symbols. The Witche's pentacle, or five-pointed star point-up within a circle, represents the four elements and the human, encompassed by Spirit. Just as Wiccan's do not invert the Christian cross, they don't appreciate it when someone iverts their symbol either.
...have to go through an initiation ceremony to practice the religion of Witchcraft.
...become Witches overnight. Today a Baptist, tomorrow a Wiccan? Nope. Witchcraft requires a lot of dedication, study, and perserverance.
...attack people, but do defend themselves when attacked.
...blab to everyone that they are Witches. We practice the Witche's Pyramid - To Know, To Dare, To Will, and To Be Silent.
...always work magick.
...gossip, tell lies, or hurt anyone's feelings on purpose.
...ever practice a magickal application that they do not completly understand.
...charge money to work magick or to pray for people.
...use their magick or other skills to show off.
...cast love spells to entice another person, break two people up just so the Witch can go out with one of them, or in any way seek to interfere with another person's will.
...abuse animals!!!! Need I say more?
