This is another baseless superstition and Witches wear clothing and robes of every color. Black is the combination of all colors and all vibrational rates of light on the material plane. It is known that black is a very good conductor of energy, therefore wearing black simply helps Witches absorb natural energy to increase the power of their thought forms. Personally, I do my Magickal work naked. Gawd, there's an ugly visualization for ya! LOL..

The answer is yes and no. Though many people mistakenly use the words "Wicca" and "witchcraft" interchangeably, there is actually a distinct difference. A Wiccan may or may not be a witch, and a witch may or may not be a Wiccan. Some Wiccans choose not to use the word "witch" when describing themselves because of the negative connotation it has with many people.

No. Wicca is a new religion formed in 1954 by Gerald Gardner that was based on old witchcraft only to a minor degree. Therefore, there are many things in Wicca that do not appear in Traditional Witchcraft. Trad Witchcraft beliefs, ritual practices, customs, and the use of the Magical Arts are different than in Wicca.

Author Aidan Kelly argues that all of Wicca derives from Gerald Gardner, with some crucial editing by his initiate Doreen Valiente. Alex Sanders is widely thought to have acquired a Gardnerian book of shadows, with which he started his own "Alexandrian" tradition. Other well known traditions are Raymond Buckland's Seax Wicca, Victor and Cora Anderson's Faerie Wicca and feminist Dianic Wicca which emphasizes the Goddess as put forward by such authors as Z. Budapest.

Wicca was the first (or at least one of the first) of the neopagan religions. As a result, it is the best known, and tends to overshadow its younger, smaller siblings. This does not mean that Wicca is more valid than other neopagan religions -- just larger and louder. Wicca, however, is only one of the things called W/witchcraft (or sometimes, the Craft, a term also applied to Masonry). There are a whole range of styles of folk-magic around the world which are called witchcraft in English.

Again, some say yes and others maintain that they are completely separate religions. I believe that if one looks closely at the true teachings of Jesus with an open heart, you will find some stark commonalities. It is only when one takes literally the sometimes frail misinterpretations of those who misunderstood the intent or used the teachings to suit their own political agendas that one see's wide differences.

There's a lot of overlap, and not everyone really agrees what the differences are. Basically, Wicca is a particular kind of pagan witchcraft. Paganism includes a bunch of different kinds of nature-based religion or spirituality. Witchcraft has something to do with folk magic, and again, there are a bunch of different kinds of witchcraft, and not all of them are pagan. Wicca is a specific magical nature-based religion.

The word witchcraft means a lot of different things to different people, probably even more so than the word paganism. The word Wicca means "witch" in Old English, and some Wiccans do call themselves Witches, but that doesn't mean that they are the only people who do. As with paganism, you could say that Wicca is one type of witchcraft, but not the only type.

Witches tend to believe these terms promote racist thinking when used to describe the morality of one's Magick. Witches are just Witches. Asking someone if they are a good Witch or bad Witch is like asking if someone is a "good" Catholic or "bad" Catholic.

The word Pagan means country dweller or one who lives with Nature. Anyone who practices a Nature-based religion is a Pagan. This includes Wicca and Witchcraft. All Wiccans and Witches are Pagans, but not all Pagans are Wiccan or Witches. The belief systems of Native Americans, Shamanism and Ancient Egyptians are also Pagan.

No, not all Druids wear white, in fact most Druids wear what feels right for them. It was Caesar who reported that the Druidss wore white, but that is the only evidence. It is far more likely that they wore brown or black or even green, or maybe a combination of these, or even more "likely you would have chaps with no robes at all, in fact, no clothes at all; probably painted blue and probably stoned out of their heads on magic mushrooms..." (Dr. Francis Pryor - Dept.

No. Living vampires have nothing to do with satan or God or anything of the like...in fact, many tend to be very nice, normal people living ordinary lives who are tolerant of a lot of different religions. Some are even devout christians, while others worship different Gods/Goddesses/etc. Still, indeed, some might be worshippers of satan but this is a matter of their personal spiritual choice and has nothing to do with their vampiric nature.

Hey! This is one of those questions I have several different answers for depending on my mood, how much time I have, how the person asked the questions, etc ...so here's a few answers: Black absorbs and transforms negative energies rendering them neutral so I can use this recycled neutral energy for my own witchy spell work! Having only black clothes makes it that much easier to get dressed in the morning. one less decision.

Ours is not a missionary religion, and we never try to make converts. We feel that if this path is right for you, you will find your way to it. We are, however, becoming more visual and vocal in an attempt to educate and dispel myths and superstitions about the Craft. You need not worry about a Witch knocking on your door and wanting to come in and share passages from their BOS. For those who are interested there are many excellent books in our suggested reading list.

In our tradition, Witchcraft is defined as both the practice of magick to achieve a certain goal and a pagan religious tradition or "Way". It is both a spiritual path and an art. It both is simple and complicated. To some who rely on written history alone Witchcraft is not a religion, it is an art of Magick or casting spells. To others, Witchcraft is a pagan Religion.

In a word YES. It is in every neighborhood in America. Don't worry, witches are not out to 'take over the world' and most could care less what religion you are, let alone waste their time with trying to change your mind. In fact it is one of the fastest growing religions in the world.

Wicca (Witchcraft or the Craft) is a very old and very new religion. The modern revival of the Craft dates from the 1940s in Britain. Gerald Gardner learned that some people still practised elements of pre-Christian aboriginal British religion and fleshed it out with pieces from ceremonial magic, Freemasonry (who share our name "Craft" for what they do), anthropology and his own creativity.
