Their eternal dance marks the changing seasons, as They each change form and show us Their different faces. Witchcraft encompasses several branches of Paganism, one of which is Wicca. Usually Witchcraft is a complex, positive belief system which incorporates a God and a Goddess venerated through ritual. The Wiccan religion incorporates gender equity, immanent divinity and immanent worth, and the responsible use of magic. Witches love children and make excellent parents.
Many Witches also love animals and keep pets, especially the traditional cats.
Negative acts such as dwelling on evil or harming helpless creatures would violate the basic tenets of Wicca and most other forms of Witchcraft. Gaianism is a growing movement devoted to the creation of an earth-wise spirituality that honors the Earth and all life as the primary source, sustainer, and reality for life. As a very young offshoot of Paganism, Gaian theology, philosophy, and ethics are still in a formative stage. Witches come in all sexual orientations and genders. Because each tradition has its own set of ethics, these vary considerably.
