Interests
I'm Pagan, & have earned my 3rd Degree in Alexandrian Wicca, & hope to someday start a new coven in my area. For the past several hundred years, the image of the Witch has been mistakenly associated with evil, heathenism, and unrighteousness. In my humble opinion, these misconceptions are light-years away from the truth! I have found that what people don't understand scares them most, so allow me to clarify...(1) I do not use the Craft for bad or evil-doing on people, (2) I do not worship Satan, & (3) I do not sacrifice animals, children, virgins, or play with blood. This is why many who follow "our path" have adopted the name of Wicca over its true name of Witchcraft to escape the persecution, harassment & misinformation associated with the name of Witchcraft & Witch; not to mention the bad publicity the press & Hollywood has given us simply to generate a profit. Witchcraft is a spiritual system that fosters the free thought & will of the individual, encourages learning & an understanding of the earth & nature thereby affirming the divinity in all living things. Most importantly however, it teaches responsibility. We accept responsibility for our actions & deeds as clearly a result of the choices we make. We acknowledge the cycles of nature, the lunar phases & the seasons to celebrate our spirituality & to worship the divine. It is a belief system with the intent of living in harmony & achieving balance with all things. The spells that we do involve healing, love, harmony, wisdom and creativity. The potions that we stir might be a headache remedy, a cold tonic, or an herbal flea bath for our pets. We strive to gain knowledge of and use the natural remedies placed on this earth by the divine for our benefit instead of using synthetic drugs (unless absolutely necessary.)
Wiccans believe that the spirit of the One, Goddess and God exist in all things. In the trees, rain, flowers, the sea, in each other and all of natures creatures. This means that we must treat "all things" of the Earth as aspects of the divine. We attempt to honor and respect life in all its many manifestations both seen and unseen.
