What is a Witch

What is a Witch? Ha! Ha! I know that one. A Witch is a woman who flies on brooms, and eats little children!!!!!!! LOL! No, a real Witch is a man, or a woman. The person you delivers your mail, could be a Witch. Oh yeah, a mail Witch! We are teachers, cops, firefighters, mother, fathers, we al everything that other people of other faiths are. We live as others do. We eat food, we sleep, we put our pants on the same as others do. So why all the whoo-whoo ding ding? Why do people think we are evil, and scary?? Simple. Christians of old wanted a religion they could blame all the bad, and "evil" things that happened in the world of that time. And what they did, was take all the Pagan holidays, and legends, and teak them to fit their "bible" story. Basically what Hitler did to the Jews and anybody else who was not a German, christians did to Pagans. Back then, more then 2,000 years ago I might add. Cuz if you read the bible it says gives the hint that the birth, and death of Christ took place only 2,000 years ago. So the clam the most christians make that the bible says the earth is only 2,000 years old, is sadly stupid. In fact, according to some bible scholars the bible says it is 4,000 years old. From GEN to REV. Now, a lot of texts were left out of the bible. The sacred sea scrolls, and when the bible was put together by the older Hebrews, they had taken some writings out due to lack of proof by some of the writers. The early history of the christian faith is very masked. Being translated from Hebrew to Greek, and then to old English, to our English. And then from that retranslated into only a few hundred more translated views. Now how does this fit into being a Witch? Keep reading. And not to mention the old testament was written by "Jews" Not that they were called that until mosses took them out of Egypt, really. Well some say the word Hebrew means Jew, and yet others have said different. I really don't care, I only know the history to defend Witchcraft. I not only need to know the Craft's past, but christians as well. So, when you have all these other versions out there, the words get twisted, and the meaning gets wow! All whoo-whoo! So not even the modern day christians don't even know about their true past. A past full of whoo-whoo! About their past, a dark past is there past. Why are we Witches hated? Because when all this started, we were the main religion back then. Not Witchcraft as the whole, but Pagans. So why were Witches pointed out as the evil ones? Well simple. As Witches we were the ones who were the peaceful ones. When they came and raged war on Europe, and others would fight. It is said Celtic warriors fault with passion to defend their right to be free. Druids fault with every might they could muster. Did they fight with swords, and spikes? Some. Remember anybody who was not a christian was deemed a "heathen pagan" And hunted down and killed if they did not turn to this new religion. Nobody would turn, at least not the true believers. Christians brought war with them all over Europe. They soon realized this was not the way to spread their "faith" Real rocket since huh? They left, to where they came from. They decided to single out one branch of Europe's religions that they could make evil. So They picked the ones who followed Diana. A Goddess who was a Witch. And then the line in the old testament were it was written "thou shall not suffer a criminal to live." Well you can guess what word was taken out, and what word was put in. Now this is the confusing part. There were Witches then, but not by that name. They were known as the followers, of Diana, who was a Witch. Now the christians said "Witch" as in Diana was the Witch, not her followers. It was not until later that we were known as Witches. Oh, now we have the reason why the followers of Diana were singled out. Now let's get creepy! Do you really know who Diana is? She is the Mother of the Witches. Yes that's right. For the followers of Diana were not Witches. They were learning the ways of nature, and ways to heal, and protect earth, and themselves. Witches however would need to be breed to have a different purposes . One that only Diana could bestow upon them. Diana was a Moon Goddess. A beautiful Goddess. She knew the only why to save her people, and the old ways was to create a more powerful force. A force that would bring the new threat down. Lucifer was the brother of Diana. He was a handsome sun God. He was the most beautiful God there was. Diana knew he would be the one to fulfill her plan. She needed both night and day to bring peace back. Lucifer was afraid of Diana. She was after all a Goddess of the night. So what she did was take the form of his cat. His beloved cat. His cat was just beautiful has he was. But Diana's animal familiar was a cat. All Diana had to do was ask his cat to do it. She than while he was in bed, had her way with him, simply put. And Araida was then born. Born of light, and of the night. Born of balance. True form. She was born unto a world of unbalance now. The christians had taken much of the Europe, and surrounding areas. Diana had told Aradia to go among the people, and teach them the way of Witchcraft. Teach them the law of Magick. Bring the people back to balance. Diana taut Aradia all the ways of Witchcraft. And all Magick. She taut her the art of healing, and poisoning. To curse, and remove a cures. To heal, and even harm. She knew that Witches would be hunted, and killed. So we had to know all the arts of Magick. For Magick was Not good, and not evil, it was how one used Magick. So Aradia had her new job. Go down, and save the people of earth. Lead them back to the Craft of the wise. Araida did this. She taut the slaves how to leave their masters, and the prisoners how to escape from jail. She taut the poor how to live off the land. And she told them, if they had need for anything to meet once a month under the full Moon, and ask our Great Mother, for she will provide. Aradia has come to save us from the oppressors. Aradia's decent on the world was a great one. She is a site to see. Long flowing hair, the deepest eyes you have ever seen. She walks with great pride in her Craft. She came down teach the people who have lost their way. Or rather was mislead. I say that due to how the christians got the people to turn from their ways in the first place. It was very good when you think about it. They came over, and turned the Gods of the people into devils. Did you know satan was never around until christians turned Lucifer into him. And they took Cernunnos a Celtic God, and made his image into satan. You see Cernunnos has a crown of horns. Deer horns. Big beautiful horns. And he himself was God of all the animals. And one other thing the christians did the was smart was take stories from the old religion, and teak them and make them stories about christ. And christians hated how the Craft treaded women. The Craft taut women as equal to men. Ya know how the christian path is such a male ego front. No female can be a leader, and a female God? Come on! That would be unthinkable! So the chirstians marched on. City by city telling the people their Goddess were evil, and their Gods were satan. And the Elders of these cities tried to keep these false christians out, but the young people believed their ways. The young, not knowing any better cast aside the Elders warnings. And soon the christian path was in control. The Elders, and High Priests, and High Priestess went into hiding, taking any followers they had with them. Aradia had no way of helping them. She tried to, but so many people now converted to christians. And the old ways were dieing. Diana could no longer sit and watch this, something drastic had to be done. So now we come to the answer. This is where we come in. The old ways are dieing. The Lord, and Lady can not stand to see their people, or their earth die any longer. They had to send more then just one person down there. A Goddess she was yes, but one was not enough. More had to go there. To each race, for each sex, and unto each religion they will be born. They will have the power to bend time, energy, and the will of the universe. They will know how to heal, protect, and harm. They will talk with the animals, and swim with the fish. The Moon shall be their guide. And if they need anything, they shall gather once in a month under the full Moon. And ask me, the Great Mother. They will be known as Witches. They will not be of man, nor of the Gods. They shall be of both. Both night, and day. They shall be the symbol of balance on the earth. And lead the people back to the old ways. And when the Lord, and Lady connected them to all that lived, they sent them on their path. Diana our Mother, Aradia or Queen, and the Lord, whatever names you all each of these, it is our duty to do these things. Heal, protect, and bring balance back to the world. Bring the Goddess back to mainstream religion. Bring the old ways back. We are Witches, not of man, and not of the Gods, were of both. Blessed be, Elder RavenFire
