| Introduction
There are two roads of knowledge-the longer, slower,
more arduous road of rational combination
and the shorter path of the imagination,
traversed with the force and swiftness of electricity...
the imagination grasps the truth
at one stroke without intermediary links.
The knowledge acquired in this second way
is infinetely more living and colorful
than the product of the understanding.

The Craft of the Wise
What is a witch?
a witch is an initiate and practioner of Wicca,
a witch worships and cares for the Earth
and all it's inhabitants through all it's cycles.
We live with the Earth, not on it...
we believe the Lord & Lady exist in each living thing
and we strive to nurture & protect these gifts.
Witches celebrate eight pagan festivals or holidays.
Yule (Dec 21), Imbolc (Feb 2), Lady Day (March 21),
Beltaine (May 1), Midsummer (June 21),
Lughnassad (Aug 1), Mabon (Sept 21),
and Samhain (Oct 31),
(these dates may vary from year to year,
based on celestial events.)
Most of us also celebrate the full moons,
13 throughout the year.
Is Wicca for you?
Only you can determine the answer to that question.
Search your heart and soul,
let the truth come to you on it's own.
Visit other sites devoted to
Wicca and the pagan Religions,
On my "resources" page you will find
a number of very fine sites
spend time there,
many of them offer an introduction to Wicca
if you then feel that Wicca is your path,
get the books you will find recommended there
or if being solitary isn't for you
then begin your search for a teacher
or a teaching Coven in your area.
There is a large listing at:The Witches Voice
If you decide that Wicca, is your path
then my best wishes go out to you
May you find your way in love and light.
Blessed Be.
