Do Witches believe in God?
Most Witches believe in a creative force that has powers.
We refer to the "Goddess and God".
Some Witches do not practice the religion of Wicca,
instead, they practice the Craft as an art and/or science.
Most Witchcraft traditions teach that
"all Gods are one God,
all Goddess are one Goddess,
and the God and the Goddess are one.
What do Witches believe about the afterlife?
The majority of Witches believe in reincarnation.
The soul passes through many physical bodies on its way to enlightenment.
Some Witches envision the soul entering "summerland"
between incarnations.
Summerland can be equated to Nirvana, Heaven or Valhalla,
and many Witches call this place Avalon,
after the sacred isle of Witches in ancient Britain.
Do Witches worship the Devil?
Witches do not worship any evil entities.
The concept of the "Devil" most people picture is a Christian one.
Witches are not Cristians.
We are not Satanists.
Witches do not practice evil magick.
We would not hurt children or sacrifice animals in our rituals.
We do not hurt anyone, in fact, Witches believe in Karma,
whatever you do will come back to you multiplied by three.
This threefold law, coupled with our belief that everyone
and everything alive is a piece of deity,
exists as insurance that those who do not hold all life
sacred will reap what they sow.
Do Witches have a "bible"?
Each Witch inherits or creates a Book of Shadows.
There is no universal dogma.
All of the Witches believe in the same rule, known as the Wiccan Rede.
It can be expressed in modern English as
"If it harms none,do as you will".
Why do Witches practice magick?
There are too many reasons to list,
but some popular motivations includes healing,
prosperity, luck, protection,
psychic awareness,worship and celebration.
Witches know that they have a responsibility to take part in their own development, and to assist those in need.
Magick is an important part of this function, as it gives
us the tools to manifest great change.
Why do Witches wear black?*
Witches are often associated with the "color" black.
Some would argue that both are evil,
and represent the powers of darkness.
Witches know that this is not the case.
We aren't evil and neither is the "color" black.
Black is a powerful "color" in religious symbolism,
worn by spiritual representatives of many faiths,
such as priests, nuns, and Hasidic rabbis.
The "color" black is like a solar battery, drawing in
energy and light which allows Witches to tap into the universal Wisdom.
