When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me “WITCH”.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me “WITCH”.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts, or do things my own way, they call me “WITCH”.
Being a “WITCH” entails raising my children to be strong people, who have a solid sense of responsibility, who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in, who love and respect themselves for the beautiful beings they are.
Being a “WITCH” means that I am free to be the wonderful creature I am, with all my own intricacies, contradictions, quirks and beauty.
Being a “WITCH” means I won’t compromise what’s in my heart. It means I live my life my way. It means I won’t allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak up against it, I am defined as a “WITCH”. The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone else’s maid or when I act selfish.
I’m proud to be a “WITCH”! It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly an and won’t become anyone else’s idea of what they this I should be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. By Goddess, I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that! So, try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won’t succeed.
And if that makes me a “WITCH”, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it. I love this, I can call myself a “WITCH” now and not feel bad about it!
SO MOTE IT BE
THE MISSION STATEMENT OF THE WOTC IS TO SPREAD THE TRUTH AND BEAUTY ABOUT WITCHCRAFT. SO EVERYONE WILL KNOW OUR TRUE HISTORY, OUT TRUE PRACTICES AND OUR TRUE BELIEFS. TO STOP PREJUDICE, BEGOTRY AND HATRED TOWARDS AND AGAINST ALL WITCHES AND ANY OTHERS THAT MAY SHARE OUR SIMILAR BELIEFS. THE WOTC HAS STARTED THE “I AM A WITCH” CAMPAIGN FOR 2007 IN AN EFFORT TO START TO FULFILL OUR MISSION STATEMENT TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE CRAFT. WE WANT TO SPREAD THE TRUTH ABOUT WITCHCRAFT IN ORDER TO BRING THE CRAFT BACK TO IT’S PROPER PLACE IN TODAY’S MAINSTREAM RELIGIONS. WE WANT TO ABOLISH IGNORANCE, BANISH HATRED AND MOST OF ALL HAVE OUR FELLOW PRACTITIONERS STAND UP AND LOUDLY AND PROUDLY PROCLAIM, “I AM A WITCH”!
