Common Question Regarding Wicca

Q: Do Witches worship Satan or the Devil?
A: ABSOLUTELY NOT! Witches do not have an entity within their religion who is all evil. Because we believe there is balance within all things, we believe that any entity has the capability to be both good and evil.

Q: Why are male Witches called "Warlocks"?
A: male Witches are NOT called Warlocks, they are Witches, just as any female would be. The word "Warlock" means "traitor" or "oath breaker". How it became and "accepted" form of address is unknown, but it may have had something to do with Hollywood and their portrayal of Witches.

Q: Why do Witches wear black?
A: The color black absorbs light and helps Witches to be more receptive to psychic energies, but Witches wear MANY different colors based on what they are trying to accomplish in their majickal tasks and their own preferences.

Q: Why do Witches cast spells?
A: Witches perform spells as a means of prayer. All religions have prayers of some sort and perform ceremonies that are used to include those prayers. When a Witch performs a spell, we are merely conducting a ceremony to produce our intended result. Because we DO NOT set out to harm ANYONE, our spells usually involve several parts: statement of intent, calling of the Deity we wish to assist us in our ritual, the ritual, and the closing of the spell.

Q: Why do Witches wear a 5 pointed star?
A: The 5 pointed star is called a "Pentacle". The four points represent Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The fifth point, the one facing up, represents the Self. As the outside ring links all five points together it symbolizes the unity of our selves to our world. The Pentacle is also the symbol for Universal Wisdom.

Q: Why do you not give out spells like some other sites do?
A: I personally do not believe in giving out spells to anyone, not even close friends. Magick comes from within, and I will assist anyone in writing a spell, but I do not give away what I worked so hard to acheive for several reasons:
1) My INTENT was used to write the spell and it was only created to serve MY purpose.
2) Since I cannot insure that the person using the spell has the ability and the knowledge to use the spell as it was created, I cannot insure it will work and not blow up in their faces.
3) I do not now, nor have I ever, condoned using spells to bend the free will of another person, so therefore the use of LOVE spells are out of the question in any form.

Q: What is the Triple Goddess symbol and what does it mean? What exactly does it look like??
A: I cannot even begin to tell you how many times a day I get this question posed to me, but as a rough guess, A LOT! I don't mind answering the questions, but I think I would rather not send out the same mundane response every time I get asked. Let's see if we can FINALLY lay this mystery (although not so mysterious it can't be answered) solved.
The Triple Goddess is a representation of the phases of a woman's life:

Maiden, the time she is a child, before menses and the ability to bear children.
Mother, the time of a woman's life when she is fruitful, her menses following the cycles of the moon and when she will mature into herself.
Crone, the time of great wisdom. At this point the woman has borne all her fruits and she her menses has ceased. This is the time of peace and reflection, sharing her knowledge with those around her. This is the time for her preparation to pass onto the next life.
