Witch

What is a witch? Well, that’s a loaded question. The word witch, I would venture to guess, means something different to every person you come in contact with....

The logical next question to answer is, what is witchcraft? There are many varied answers for this question as well. We will define witchcraft as the use of magick and sorcery, a universally agreed upon definition. There are disagreements when it come to defining witchcraft. These come from the qualifications of this Craft: is it good or evil? is it noble or wicked? is it ethical or sinful? 

Well, that’s for you to decide...

As you gain more knowledge of your Craft, you may discover that witchcraft, in and of itself, cannot be described by such words. Rather, these adjectives describe the way you use it and the choices you make...

The great thing about it is that it’s all up to you. You define your craft for yourself... Witchcraft and feminism are intertwined throughout history. The word witch has been used to oppress and degrade women, to pit us against each other and to ignite fear and shame....At the same time, people are often drawn to witchcraft in an effort to reclaim that divine feminine energy.... It is crucial that we reclaim the beauty, power, heritage of the word Witch.

Witches love the earth, and worship nature. A witch’s purpose is the very earth we need to save...

Witches relish their wild nature and align themselves with the cycles of the earth and  the phases of the Moon...

For many people, to claim the word Witch is to claim a relationship to the Mother Earth....

Witches have always been women who are  courageous, non-conforming, intelligent, explorative, curious, sexually liberated, independent, and revolutionary....

So, because I aim to de-stigmatize, and return honor to the word Witch, when someone asks me if they are one, I will always answer, "Yes."
