Green,Wart-covered. Able to turn innocent victims into mice, toads, or garden statuary. We do not drink blood, eat small children, nor do we sacrifice anything at the crossroads at midnight. We do not take part in any kind of sexual perversion, nor do we seek power through the suffering or oppression of others. We do not put curses or hexes on people, nor do we force, conerce, or magically control anyone against their will. We do not have magickal "powers"; we can't throw fire from our fingertips, stop time, or conjure objects from thin air. We do not destroy or deface the symbols of other religions, and we do not worship the Devil. Most important, we never, ever hurt people, either physically, mentally, spiritually, or magickally.
Not saying there has never been a Witch who used his or her energies for harmful ends. Just as there has never been a priest who molested young boys, a lawyer or a politician who lied or cheated, or a psychiatrist or doctor who physically or emotionally abused a patient. What I am saying is, it is not in the Wiccan faith, practice, or belief system to bring harm to anyone, anything, ever. Period. And this is what I believe. |
