Fear Us Not
On this page, I am going to make some statements to try to answer some of the questions that I have personally heard from non-Pagan, non-Wiccan people. Hopefully this will also show that many stero-types about Wiccans are simply not true.
Wiccans Do/Are
- Wiccans are peace loving.
- Wiccans do believe in the Wiccan rede.
- Some Wiccans belong in covens, some do not.
- Wiccans that do not belong in covens are called solitaires.
- Wiccans do call themselves Witches, but mean no evil by it.
- Because Wiccans are called Witches, it DOES NOT mean that they are evil, or practice black magic, or ride brooms, etc.
- Wiccans do try to become one with nature.
- Wiccans do believe in a Goddess and/or God.(Depending on which brach of Wicca)
- Wiccans do sometimes have rituals, none which are evil in any way.
Wiccans Do Not/Are Not
- Wiccans do not worship Satan, in fact Wiccan's do not even believe in the existence of Satan.
- Wiccans do not sacrifice anything, animals or humans.
- Wiccans do not all wear black.
- Wiccans do not fly or ride brooms.
- Wiccans are not evil.
- Wiccans do not cast evil incantations over people at night.
- Wiccans do not wish harm on Christians.
- Wiccans are not advocates of Christianity or any religion for that matter, but they do not have the same systems of beliefs.
- Wiccans do not bite. Come and talk to us!
Also there are somethings I would like to add. Just because Wiccans do rituals and are in covens and are called witches does not mean that they are evil. The reason that many people think that is because that Wiccans have been stereo-typed so long that those words have brainwashed people in to making them think the words as evil. If you are a Wiccan and are just now planning to tell a parent or spouse about you being Wiccan, dont expect them not to be upset. Thanks to the Christian bible when your loved one hears the word witch, coven, ritual, etc., they may think of you as evil, and may treat you differently. I can say this from my own experience with my parents. If you would like to read more about this and how to break the news to someone, please visit My Struggle With Society.
