It has been believed that Witches are messengers of the devil. They are his workers and are in turn evil. According to the old ways, one who was accussed of being of witch was to be put to death, she's evil.
In truth, No, we are group or mainly solitary practioners who try and protect a quiet religion where Nature and the spirits are our gods and godesses instead of one.

Exactly.
Also it was poor innocent people that were accused of witchcraft, and mostly free thinking women....
i guess that that time came to present time, all the girls would be executed...god it would be a slaughter house!
those poor poor citizens.

Yes I agree. In my opinion, it is the free thinkers of the world who bring a breath of fresh air here. We need to share what we know but unfortunatly the world isn't ready for us to come out and say it. Which is sad.

Sometimes I wish the rule of three didn't always exist and yet I'm glad it does. We know our limitations and that is just a guideline. Sometimes I do wish that the same could be applied to those who don't believe, to teach respect. But we cannot use our craft to punish others.

My parents haven't told me about the "talk" yet and I do realise in the Orthidox bible it says that anyone who practices witchcraft is sent from the devil, I think that a lode of BS. I mean come on, you guys aren't evil at all, I wish that the Christans would know and understand that. Sometimes I doubt what my religon is teaching me. I final stoped going to sunday school, which is great because I didn't like my teacher and my class.

Also in most movies they make witches appear evil and cruel. Like in Hokous Pokous (Which is a good movie). One of the few movies where witches are good is Pratical Magic.(which is a movie I recommend to anyone!) I'm sure there are many movies where witches are good but I see a lot of negative movies out there.

i know!
i think the people are like this because they're scared of us.
and my rule is with life:
if there's something new that some people don't like, but there can be another side to it, read it out before you make your judgement!!!

i've been called a devil worshiper before and i had to go into a long explaination cuz when i said it simple they didn't understand ... and i've had friends ask me about covens in my area where i used to live but i swear it's hard to find a coven now adays i think more and more wiccans and pagans are practicing alone ...

Kind of makes sence though. if you don't want people knowing your a wiccan the best way is to practice alone.

yeah, but personally i think that doing it with other people, especially people whom you like, makes it more fun.
it also doesn't make me feel weird when i'm doing it alone, because there is someone to do it with me.
