No my friend let me tell you what Witches are.
They are the ones who sacrifice everything to make another Human beings life better.
They are the ones willing to take the hits and blows that were meant for you.
They are the ones who suffer when you suffer.
Never have i met a Witch that has sold her soul to the Devil.
Never have i met a Witch that has harmed a child.
And I have been a Male Witch for more years than i care to remember.
I looked at the Christians and i looked at the Satanist's and I said to myself.
Neither of them are my people.
So let the Christians have heaven and the Satanists have hell.
We the Witches will take earth.
This is the place where we are needed to show people the way.
Teach them Love, Compassion, mutual understanding.
Teach them Respect for Mother earth and Nature.
Teach them that every life is precious.
Most of the people i know are Pagan and Witches.
They are all beautiful souls who have seen the worst of this world but never gave up on those who needed them.
Our traditions and way of life goes back to the beginning of time.
Before the Christian church.
Before the burning times.
Before the time when healers and midwives were burnt at the stake for caring for their fellow human beings.
We do not approve of Women and Child abuse.
We definitely do not approve of any kind of ritual abuse or sexual abuse.
As a matter of fact we will go to any length to protect any innocent from harm even at the expense of our own lives.
My values and the way i live comes from Wise Women, strong Women not from Men.
All of them are Witches and i love them like my own family, they own my heart and soul.
We do not care for anyone's approval or acceptance because we see the world as it is not how people want us to see it.
We see everything not just what we choose to see.
We are the Sons and Daughters of the Witches that those who are ruled by fear and hate failed to burn at the stake.
That is the way of mankind to destroy what they do not understand and even then we do not hate you.
We are the observers in your world, we do not take part in your ways.
From time to time we will reach in and pull someone from Darkness and show them a new way of living, that is what we do.
We do not expect anything in return, we do what we do because we can.
We do what we do not to be accepted, we do it because it is the right thing to do.
Any Witch that tells you that you need to do something for them in return are not true to their path, walk away.
And let this be a warning today Harm a Women or child and you will meet our Dark side.
Then my friend we go pitch black.
You either stand next to us, behind us or you are in our way.
Do not try to protect any abuser because one way of the other we will get to them.
We Honor our Ancestors.
Pray to our God's
We celebrate our Sabbats and Esbats just as you celebrate your religious holidays.
Look after our families.
What is your duty as a Man and a Male Witch.
First of all to be a Protector of your family.
A Guardian.
Your Wife, Fianc'ee or Girlfriend and kids comes first before your own needs.
You do not have the luxury to complain or feel sorry for yourself.
Your family is everything.
That is what you live for and if needed to fight for.
Then comes your extended family.
Your Witch Brothers and Sisters.
They are your family even if they are not blood.
You treat them with Honor, Loyalty and Respect.
You protect them like you would protect your own flesh and blood.
You are a Male Witch.
You need to stand firm rooted in the ground like the sacred Oak.
All Women will be treated in a sacred manner.
You will be a Gentleman and a Brother they can rely on.
Respect the Elders.
Honor our Ancestors.
Give thanks to the God's for giving you the strength to perform your Duty.
And pray that your enemies are strong so when you fall it will not be in shame.
We have families just like you
We have our regular day jobs just like you.
Witchcraft is not a Religion, It is a way of life.
It has very little to do with devil worship or selling your soul to the devil.
Blessed Be )0(
