This is a Generalized explanation for the General Public. Please Understand the Majority of the General Public don't understand the minor differences in beliefs that we have amongst ourselves. I kept it as simple as possible.
Congratulations, you did a great job! It was accurate and on the level. I hope you don't mind, but I printed it to carry with me to show friends and family members who may need some reassurance that I'm not ivolved in anything evil--like I'm going to do THAT! I'm going to check out your website and see what it's about. Great job.
You used both Satan and Devil in this article, then stated that the Devil is a Christian Deity, never commenting on Satan, which by the way both are a title, as is Christ and Magdelene, both Satan and Devil are from the arabic word meaning advesary.
You wrote that Witchcraft is a religion, it is not a religion, despite how many books you have read that state this. Witchcraft is just that, a craft, an art. Wicca is a religion, Witchcraft is the means of creating that which you desire, wish or want, similar but not the same as prayer.
You then stated that Witches have Deity, my dear if you were to read the history of Witches you would find that Witches in the 1300's and earlier used no Deity, they were by modern definition a folk magician.
You could have stated that today's Witches have evolved to use Deities in their spell work and rituals, and that Witchcraft today is seen as a religion by some Witches.
And please stop lumping all Witches as following the Wiccan crede of harm none, I myself do not follow this creedo.
You stated that Knowledge is the key to true wisdom, you are on your way to having that wisdom, you just need to gain a bit more. Try adding historical facts and then using modern examples to show the evolution of Witchcraft.
This was a good start, but in a few years you will most likely look back and see your errors. Keep up the good work.
For trying to explain alternative religions, I think you did an excellent job! Not all witches are the same, and trying to explain everyone's viewpoint is almost impossible. I myself try to live by the Harm None rule, as it has helped me live in accord with all of nature; however, I am by no means Wiccan.
Well, I would elaborate more, but my mom is chewing my ear off ... anyways, keep up the writing. Any awareness promoted to help alternative spirituality is something that should be appreciated; if people want to learn more, they can study it instead of expecting it to be written out in a limited news article.
