A Witch had to not only be a religious leader, but also the doctor, lawyer, and psychologist of the village. Today, people have reclaimed this word in their pursuit of Wiccan religion. A With is an initiate of Wicca, one who has earned the right to call themselves Priest, or Priestess, through study, self evaluation, and spiritual living. We believe that deity is found not only outside to our realm, or plane of existence, but that is found within every living thing and all that support it. Wiccan tend to involve themselves with ecological pursuits.
Actual dates vary slightly from year to year, as they are based upon actual celestial events.
Many Wiccans also celebrate the Full Moon, of which we have 13 per year. This is a mock archaic phrase, suggesting that any behavior that harms none, is morally acceptable. It is, of course, impossible to exist, or even cease to exist, without causing harm, so Wiccans look to fulfill this as closely as possible. A Wiccan attempts to make choices based on what will cause the least harm, and promote the greatest overall positive effect. Wicca teaches self discipline, personal responsibility kinship with our plant and its creatures, open-mindedness and the virtues of diversity.
