What do Witches' Believe? This question has been debated and disected a million times and still it is asked. Some day I hope this question is as clear as the question "What do Christians believe?"

*What is a WitchCraft? What is Wicca? This definition is hard to explain so please click on the above question to go to the definitions I have provided... Geocities only allows these pages to go so long. *Do Witches believe in God? Most Witches believe in a creative force that has powers. We refer to the "Goddess and God". Some Witches do not practice the religion of Wicca, instead, they practice the Craft as an art and/or science. Most Witchcraft traditions teach that "all Gods are one God, all Goddess are one Goddess, and the God and the Goddess are one." *What do Witches believe about the afterlife? The majority of Witches believe in reincarnation. The soul passes through many physical bodies on its way to enlightenment. Some Witches envision the soul entering "summerland" between incarnations. Summerland can be equated to Nirvana, Heaven or Valhalla, and many Witches call this place Avalon, after the sacred isle of Witches in ancient Britain. *Do Witches worship the Devil? Witches do not worship any evil entities. The concept of the "Devil" most people picture is a Christian one. Witches are not Christians. We are not Satanists. Witches do not practice evil magick. We do not hurt children or sacrifice animals in our rituals. We do not hurt anyone, in fact, Witches believe in the "Threefold Law" which is similar to the Law of Karma., Whatever you do willcome back to you multiplied by three. This threefold law, coupled with our belief that everyone and everything alive is a piece of deity, exists as insurance that those who do not hold all life sacred will reap what they sow. *Do Witches have a "bible"? Each Witch inherits or creates a Book of Shadows. There is no universal dogma. All of the Witches believe in the same rule, known as the Wiccan Rede. It can be expressed in modern English as "If it harms none,do as you will". *Why do Witches practice magick? There are too many reasons to list, but some popular motivations includes healing, prosperity, luck, protection, psychic awareness,worship and celebration. Witches know that they have a responsibility to take part in their own development, and to assist those in need. Magick is an important part of this function, as it gives us the tools to manifest great change. *Why do Witches wear black?* Witches are often associated witch the "color" black. Some would argue that both are evil, and represent the powers of darkness. Witches know that this is not the case. We aren't evil and neither is the "color" black. Black is a powerful "color" in religious symbolism, worn by spiritual representatives of many faiths, such as priests, nuns, and Hasidic rabbis. The "color" black is like a solar battery, drawing in engrgy and light which allows Witches to tap into the Universal Wisdom.
