Most people following Hereditary craft would not write or have evidence around in case they were
caught, of course this goes back to 'The Burning Times' and would mean death if they were caught with
written evidence of their Craft. Another fact about written material, most people back then were illiterate
and so it was quite impossible to keep written records of what they believed. What the earth is, a Witch
is. There is so much we can learn.
The native peoples throughout Europe believed is spirits or gods. These sprits/gods were associated with
the Earth, Sun, and Moon. They saw their lives and the lives of the gods having a cyclical pattern and this
followed the yearly cycle of seasons. We follow a religion in which the seasons are celebrated and
recognized. We follow the beliefs and practices of our ancestors. We speak of the God and Goddesses as
the male and female aspects of Nature. The spirits who are contacted during our rituals are already here
with us, but we evoke them to communicate and witness our workings.
We have neither a Wiccan Rede nor a Threefold Law. We do practice honour and personal responsibility.
There is no good or evil, only intent. There are only humans who have the ability to make decisions and
act on them, and they may decide to act on these decisions for better or worse intentions. . If provoked or
threatened, we will act for the protection of family and home or for self-preservation. We consider this an
'honourable act'. If there are negative consequences, we are willing to suffer them.
Quite often families carry a genetic predisposition to the Craft. Families may or may not have a
structured form of of witchcraft as it is known today. We do have access to our Ancestral Legacies and
memories. We live guided by our spirit and our heart. We have elements in our Craft of occult and
spiritualist practices, superstitions and folklore.
Being a Hereditary Witch can be compared to or likened with a person who paints masterpieces or a
musician who composes beautiful songs. They become fulfilled in their pursuit of the fine arts they
pursue. This can be said for the Witch. We require the cornerstone of our natural gifts to become fulfilled
in our pursuits of our Craft. We follow our own will, guided by our own nature to find our true path.
