| A special note from me: You
might wonder why I charge for my spells. This is because every spell is
individually tailored for your needs. Further to this, my spells are not
just quick “Burn a candle and read something out a book” spells, instead
each spell will be individually prepared for a considerably amount of time.
I will also complete a casting ritual, this will include the use of herbs,
crystals, candles, oils and much more. In most cases the needed raw material
will be bought in especially for your requests. |
| About Witchcraft - some questions answered |
| Do Witches worship Satan or
practice Satanism? |
| No, we don't. Witches do not believe
in Satan, or Hell, as it is part of Christian doctrine. People are capable
of good and evil, and it is up to them to make the decision what to do
and how to deal with a consequence. We do not place our misdeeds on a mythical
scapegoat. |
| Do Witches make animal/human
sacrifices? |
| No! In ancient times, people made
sacrifices to the Gods (even in Christianity those rituals were used as
stated in the Old Testament) in thanks for many things. These days, we
have no need to sacrifice an animal. We consider all life sacred and would
never harm another being. |
| In the past, Witches used what are
called "Flying Ointments". This consisted of a fatty substance, usually
lard, and several trance-inducing herbs, which they rubbed all over their
bodies to send them into a trace state. In this state, they could leave
their bodies and travel to other places. The stereotype of Witches flying
on broomsticks was created by the Christians to make them out as evil.
Today, to "fly", Witches practice astral travel. Brooms are used in ritual
and sacred spaces for cleansing away "negative" vibrations. |
| Does the word "Pagan" mean
something bad, or evil? |
| No, the word Pagan has gotten a
bad name from Christians, because Pagans did not believe in the God of
the Christians in the Burning Times. Pagan stems from the Latin word Pagani,
which means "people living in the country". Some sources also say it means
"people of the Earth". |
| Do Witches really use "Eye
of Newt" or "Brain of Bat" in their spells? |
| Possibly in the past they did. Nowadays,
these things are obsolete, as Witches work primarily with herbs. There
are some herbs with folk names such as "Swallow's Heart", "Cat Bone", etc.
and these could have been folk names for herbs as well. |
| Is there such a thing as "Witches
Brew"? |
| Of course there is! Brews are used
for many, many different things. There are a few witches that mainly concentrate
on making tinctures and potions. Quite a few hedge witches (witches, who
are very much connected to nature and use their herbal knowledge rather
then spell work) are more likely to be seen in the kitchen instead in front
of an altar. |
| Do Witches put spells on people?
Can they put "curses" on people, or do harm with spells? |
| Not a lot of Witches put spells
"on" people, as this interferes with our beliefs of not bending someone
against their own will. When a Witch is going to work a spell, they usually
do it to send positive energy into the Universe to send out their intentions
of what they wish to work on. Some Witches work spells for other people
as well, but we tend to not put spells on people. As for cursing or hexing
someone to harm them, most Witches, especially Wiccans, believe in the
Law of Three, and Karma, which means whatever you send out comes back to
you. White Witches only work with positive magic and are happy to cast
healing spells on a person. |
| Are male Witches called "warlocks"? |
| Male Witches are called Witches.
Simple as that. The term Warlock means "traitor" or "oath breaker", as
these were the people who turned against their fellow Witches during the
Burning Times, and it is considered a derogatory term. |
