Welcome to The WITCHES' CIRCLE!
This page is dedicated to the education of all people about Wicca, Paganism and Witchcraft. and do not follow the beliefs of
any Satanic systems. We DO worship a God and a Goddess whose names different depending on tradition and often the location of the Witch. Many of us believe that all God and all Goddess are merely aspects of a singular God and a singular Goddess who together make up the male and female aspects of The One of Great Spirit, the Creator of all life.
It is important to note that there is a big differnce between being a Witch and being a Wiccan. Wicca is a religion, born into creation in the 1950's by Gerald Gardner. Many of his writings have inspired the creation of Wicca as it is practiced today. Someone who is a Witch often follows a different set of ethics (such as not following the Wiccan Rede, since, well, they aren't Wiccan) and following older traditions. The differences between Wicca and Witchcraft are something that can be debated and can get quite heated. I'll leave it to you to decide. For more information about Traditonal Witchcraft take a look here.
Most of the information that you will see here is based on Wicca, though I myself am an eclectic Witch. I will be adding more info about Traditional Witchcraft this year, so keep looking.
For many years believers of Pagan and other earth based religions have been
accused of worshipping the Devil and so forth. This is simply not true. And
as Witchcraft has been legally recognized as a religion in the United States
since about 1985, many of us feel that we should no longer have to tolerate
being held down and persecuted for our beliefs simply because some people do
not want to have to educate themselves on topic.
This page is here to answer questions, provide Pagan support and help those that
are just starting out on their path to the Goddess and God. They are waiting with
loving and opened arms. Follow the links here to find out more, or send some email.

The Witches' Circle Mission Statement.
As members of The Witches' Circle, our mission is to dispell the misconceptions aboout Paganism, the Wiccan Religion and the art of Witchcraft. We talk to, discuss and educate people through literature that we compose and by holding discussion forums online when possible. We strive to end the modern day burnings that have in some cases resulted in honorers of the Goddess and God to lose jobs, homes, friends, family, spouses and even children. We no longer feel the need to hide in the Broom Closet and perform our rituals and acts of worship in secret. We love and accept all those that come to the Goddess and God with an open mind and heart; seeking the truth, whether it be for the intent to join us on our path, or just to better understand the beliefs and practices of those that have chosen to join the Goddess and God.
So pull up a chair and have a cup of tea and enjoy your stay. Come back again soon, since there will be countless changes made to this site
over the next few weeks. And please email us with your thoughts, ideas and questions. I'd like to get a page of questions that have been emaied to me and
answered up on the site. So send 'em in!! And if you have any pics or spells that you'd like to add, please email them to me!
So until next time...
MERRY MEET AND MERRY PART AND MERRY MEET AGAIN!!
Blessed Be! Athena
