Witchcraft is a religion of ecology; it's goal is harmony with nature so that life may not just survive, but thrive. Love for life in all its forms is the basic ethics of Witchcraft.

oohhh, so why is considered evil then?

Hahah! Exactly! It isn't evil! Because back in the day we did not follow the church it was looked upon as evil. Then we would have festivals where we thank the Earth. Some choose to be nude in their celebrations. We looked at our god of the hunt. This seemed bad to the church so they labeled it as evil. IT is not evil at all! Witches are good!

really? so, why nude? there is a special meaning?

Some groups teach the energy flow is stopped by clothing. By being nude, there are no such problems.

Nudity is also connecting with the mother goddess for that is how we came into this earth. Clothing is material and man made. Some people have cloaks (I have one ^.^) it is meant for rituals. They charge them under the moon or with the elements. There are many ways to go about different things.

ooh, why a cloack? special meaning? what about sacerdotist? what they do? what are the knowledge you adquire? i mean, what kind? universe? yourself?

i want to try, do i need something special? i mean , what is gpoing to happen? is just for getting relax? not abuse magic, so there are rules?

Not really rules but i mean you wouldn't "abuse" a human so why would you abuse magik? Some people can get greedy and use magik. If you use natural materials make sure thank the earth or the source you are taking it from and give something in return. Don't just take and take...give.

So the begining moons of the year....spring is all about fertility which deals with flowers growing and babies being born. Wiccan is both. We follow or are guided by the goddess who reprsents everything woman. Fertility, motherhood, etc. There is the Maiden, mother and crone. I find that represents it very well. You start off as the baby or maiden you become the mother and then with age the crone. The Crone then dies and is reborn as the Maiden. It is like Spring goes to summer then fall comes and everything 'dies' and in the winter it is dead or sleeping and then in the spring it is reborn. Fertility is mainly l linked with Imbolc and Beltane (holidays) and then there is Samhain which is halloween which is the day of the dead, all souls night when the veils between our world and the spirit world are thinned. Do you see a pattern? Born-live-die-born-live-die.

It also follows with the cycle of the moon, which is why a lot of the time the Mother Goddess is represented as the moon. In the waxing part of the cycle, she is the maiden, in the full moon, the mother, in the waning, the crone. In the dark part of the moon she dies and is reborn. (Depending on the belief system. This version is from the palaeolithic times, in truth.)

so there are more versions? which one is true? all of them?

Truth is subjective. This version is true to my beliefs. It doesn't change much, but as ages changed the image of the Mother Goddess in her cycles was changed. Mostly it remained the form that I described above though. I just hate making absolute statements because they tend to piss people off.

mmm, so beaing a witch comes from what you want to believe? you do it in your own way? why? many different way of think?

that is because thats how people did not understand us have saw witches for a long time. however What Wicca is not is Satanism. We do not worship the Devil, kill small animals or sacrifice children. We are not evil, nor do we practice evil acts or black magick or manipulative or exploitative magick.

so black and white magic exist? why coloured magic? theres a meaning? is that magic true?

For me that is tricky. I have black candles etc but they are not to do harm on others. Black is a powerful color but it doesn't mean evil. Night is very powerful but that goes with the death and rebirth of the sun. If you do harm on others expect it back three times fold (Wiccan Rede)

so magic exist? is true? hard to believe, and how do you do it? special knowledge? thoughs?

See these are all very good questions but sometimes you have to sit there and think for yourself. I may have different ways of doing things than others. This is what I tell my friends. Take two magnets and put neg to neg...it can't be done it has the invisible force field. If that exists whats to say magik can't exist. You should read "drawing down the Moon" or even pick up some pagan books. Where I live I get a lot. We are all made out of energy but now you have to learn to use that. Each person I believe is different so i can not tell you what to do.

I connect with Egyptian ones more. It doesn't just come from European. Really all the religions back then were closely related to each other. Egyptian again is all death rebirth.

This is how i look at it. Think of religion as a potato. You can have it mashed, fried, baked, cubed etc but when it comes down to it it is still just a potato. Don't go one way and seal off all other learnings from other religions. I believe in Christ. Not necessarily the son of god but about his teachings. I'm not going to discard his words because it isn't my religion. It takes me to the spirit, the universe the potato.

It's not so much what I want to believe, as what I feel is right. I came across this image in a book I was reading, and it made sense to me, so it stuck in my mind and became part of my beliefs.

Well not the hocus pocus lets shoot fire at you! I mean i'm sure it could be possible but not likely. I'm a healer. I focus on that magik. I learn the physical herbs and medicine and then I learn the healing energies. If someone hurt themselves and scraped their knees I'll focus my energy and imagine it healing. It doesn't just heal that instant but it heals faster like the next day. We are all connected, humans, trees plants etc.
