Who was that Manot guy? No, we are nothing like those children. The only thing in that film which was remotely portrayed in an accurate manner was the theory of the Law of Three, where it was explained to the girls that what they sent out returns to them threefold. The rest, including the "deity" they attempted to invoke was Hollywood fiction. And by the way, the only "glamour spell" we know of that changes hair color involves invoking Miss Clairol, or the Goddess L'Oreal and an application of the sacred peroxide. Or a trip to a really good hairstylist and a major outlay of cash! 6. So you guys worship Satan, right? Satan is a Judeo-Christian-Zoroastrian concept which holds no meaning for Witches. There is no Satan in our deity structure, which predates the idea of Satan. Witches do not believe in Hell, Satan, or generally speaking, the concept of an absolute evil (except of course my ex-husband, but that's a story for another day). 7. So you don't believe in God? What do you believe in? Well, not the Christian concept of God. Most Witches are polytheistic or pantheistic, and believe in an immanent form of Deity. I believe that the Divine is too large for humans to grasp all at once, so we tend to break it down into something we can more easily understand. For Christians, this is the Trinity, or Jesus and God (and for some, Mary). Most Witches worship the Divine in its Twin Aspects of God and Goddess. We see the God and Goddess as archetypal representations of the polarities of the Divine. Many of us break this down still further, by working with the aspects of Deity from one pantheon or another, such as Greek gods or Celtic, or Egyptian, etc. Some Witches work more with one polarity or the other. Dianic Witches, for example, tend to work only with the Goddess. All these aspects, or faces of the Divine represent the same Source. That force in the Universe is the same Source that is worshipped by other faiths, including the Christian faiths. We believe that force manifests in myriad ways, and that all names http://www.pathwalkers.net/interactive/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=449 (2 of 7) [12/25/2005 12:23:12 AM]

By that respect, we all worship the same Source. Witchcraft is an earth-based nature religion. We recognize the hand of the Divine in the Universe around us, the trees, the wind, the sea, all of it. We see the interconnectedness of all things in the Universe. All of the Web of Life reflects the beauty and power of the Divine. There are strong likenesses between this ideology and the belief system of Native Americans, in fact many indigenous peoples hold similar attitudes and beliefs. Witchcraft is also highly an individualistic and experiential pathway. We do not march in lockstep with one another. There is no hierarchy, no "Head Witch" as it were. If you ask ten Witches a question about what they believe or how to practice, you are likely to get a number of different responses. We are very unorganized (as opposed to disorganized); in fact it is often said that organizing Witches is rather like trying to herd cats. 8. What do Witches believe happens after you die? Witches tend to be more concerned about the here and now, but many of us believe in reincarnation in one form or another. I believe that between lives, we rest and plan for the next, choosing circumstances to be born into which will provide us with the greatest opportunity for growth and spiritual development. Some Witches call the place we rest between lives the Summerland. This does not mean that I think your life is all planned out ahead of time, rather that you determine a few key factors based on the lessons you are trying to learn. For instance, you choose to be born into a poor family, or a rich one, or you choose to be born able-bodied or not, etc. What you do with those circumstances once you get here is up to you. 9. What do Witches do? Well, as you can see from the preceding, we worship. We also raise families, hold down jobs, shop (I am particularly good at that), have hobbies, pay bills, just like other people. What most people really mean when they ask this question is "tell me about magick." http://www.pathwalkers.net/interactive/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=449 (3 of 7) [12/25/2005 12:23:12 AM]
