Extended Timeline for Witchcraft History

This is a work in progress for the history of witchcraft.

Sexual Beliefs of a Witch

So a close family friend (who shall remain anonymous, but is never the less highly valued for their acceptance and love) has brought it to my attention that a local preacher has taken to stating facts about  a "local group of evil witches" (meaning me) who are sexual deviants who practice in, what they have from inside information (really now, I say LIAR), sexual deviations. They have taken to stating that witches are well known for their beliefs in sexual perversions, practices of rape, molestation, wild sexual orgies, and bestiality. Well...

Egregores: Good or Bad

 Egregore (also spelled Egregor) is an occult concept representing a "thought form" or "collective group mind", an autonomous psychic entity made up of, and influencing, the thoughts of a group of people. The symbiotic relationship of an Egregore and it's group mentality has been compared to the more recent, non-occult concepts of corporations (as a legal entity) and the meme.

Voodoo and Witchcraft

I've been asked if Voodoo and Witchcraft are the same thing or if there are any similarities.

Homemade Cold Remedies

Cold season has hit my home early this year! And I don't mean all this cooler weather. I'm talking stopped up noses, runny noses, runny stopped up noses, congestion, sneezing, coughing, fevers, and a whole boat load of others! Here is a few of the things I do at home to help ease the discomfort.

New Moon Ritual for New Beginnings

This month's new moon is here! September is the largest Harvest month and a time to start things new. Samhain is just around the corner bringing a new year and Mabon is soon here to give thanks. Thanks to the Goddess for her blessings and thanks to the God for the crops and seeds for the next year. Here is a ritual for new beginnings!

Mabon

Mabon is the Autumnal Equinox. This year it is September 22 for the northern hemisphere. Mabon is the pagan Thanksgiving. It is a feast to celebrate and share the second harvest.

How Does a Ritual Work

I've explained working rituals but I would like to go a little deeper into explaining the how of a ritual. Not the how to do it but how it actually works. I've had many students become discouraged because they felt their rituals didn't have the same power. That is the beginning of their problem, belief.

How to Become a Witch

One question I have been asked in many emails is "how did you become a witch?", well it's not just like someone waved a wand over me and did it!

Acceptance

Acceptance is hard for some people to give. They see it as defeat when in fact it's not defeat it's accepting that you value your relationship more than being the same.

Witchcraft: A History

Before the Christian church was fully formed and opinions on witches was tainted by Exodus 22:18, witches and mystics were revered by people.

Timeline for the Salem Witch Trials

I have been asked by an online student for a timeline of the Witch Trials in Salem Mass. Matthew is in Germany and wishes to know more about our history of the Craft here in America. I think this would be a great share with others as well. So here is a list to start us off Matthew.
