There are always so many questions about witchcraft, paganism, and such.  Below I have tried to take some of those questions and give you answers.  I have also defined some common terms you may hear used in this circle.

Common Misconceptions and Myths

Witches are all evil.

Well, witches are human.  I am sure that there are witches in the world that use their abilities for "evil" or bad deeds, and believe that this is ethical.  But, witches in general are not innately evil, nor do they seek out opportunities for malice.  *~*The witches I have met are all rather caring and kind people, as am I!*~*

All witches worship the devil.

Actually, as far as my research has shown, the "devil" is a Christian belief, and a Christian embodiment of evil. So, NO, most witches do not believe in "the devil" in a Christian sense, and in turn, do NOT worship that being.  This is not to say that we do not believe in demons and other nasties.  That also doesn't mean that there aren't pagan traditions that do worship this being.

All witches belong to a the religion called Wicca.

 A very common misconception.  I ask that you be very cautious about assuming this, however.  There are many, many different traditions of witchcraft, Wicca being only one of them.  Many witches have some similar beliefs, observe the same holidays, practice similar methods, but are by no means Wiccan.  *~*Please see the definition of Wicca above.*~*
