I am a Witch
Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell told voters, "I'm not a witch." What does that mean?
On "Politically Incorrect" in 1999, O'Donnell said she once went on a date and had a midnight picnic on a satanic altar with blood on it. Recently the Tea Party Republican candidate for senator in Delaware asked, "How many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school?"
I am a witch if you want to call me that. I don't call myself that because people think of witches with long noses with warts who cast evil spells on people. Or they think of them as beautiful girls who control people or regularly battle Satan.
I'm Wiccan. I don't try to control anybody. I don't worship Satan and I don't battle Satan. I don't even believe in Satan. I don't pour blood on an altar either. That sounds gross.
I believe in God. I also believe in Goddess. Nature is a balance between male and female, light and dark, life and death. But nature isn't just opposites. It's many things in between. Almost nothing is totally male or totally female, totally white or totally black. You don't have to be Wiccan to know that.
Wiccans believe, "If it harms none, do as you will." We believe in doing good for the earth and for people. Most Wiccans believe some version of the Threefold Law. That means that what you do returns to you, good for good and bad for bad. So it's foolish to do bad! We aren't "questionable folks."
There are many different types of witches. There are some witches and other Pagans who do harmful things. There are some Catholics and Protestants and Buddhists who do harmful things. That doesn't mean their religion is bad. There are many who do good for people.

You are so right, Lorien! Thank you for telling people the truth.
Many Wiccans believe good and bad return to you threefold. So we surely want to do good!

You go girl!!! I personally dont have anything against Wiccans or Witches. It's a different religion. I was hurt by a pagan of some sort. I am not angry at you but I feel a little bitter about the way it workrd out. Have a nice day. Vern

There are no good witches. Good witches are only on TV and movies. They aren't real.

You're either being deceptive or are being deceived. There is no such thing as a "good witch." Witches use magic, and magic is not of God. It is forbidden in the Bible.
Satan has many forms. He even even pretend to be God and a Goddess, but he is still Satan.

Christine O'Donnell who said she's not a witch lost. Is that a victory for witches?

People think being a wtich is a crime. Get over it. This isn't Salem. We don't burn witches at the stake and don't throw Christians to the lions.

Everyone should be careful of being deceived. Even Christians.

Wouldn't even be an issue in Europe. Hey, America, this isn't 1200. Get with freedom of relligion already.

What we really need is something that shows us what witchcraft is really about. Getting naked and having sex on an altar. WE NEED PICS!
