These FAQ's were later published as three pages on the now-defunct Magickal Akron website. Yes, Witchcraft and Wicca are legally recognised as religions by the government of the United States. Not really, at least, not any more than it is possible to tell whether a person practices any other particular religious tradition. Real Witches rarely look like the stereotypes portrayed in the popular media, with long pointy chins, warts, or crooked noses, wearing tall pointy hats, long capes, or all-black clothing.
Real Witches are real people.
Furthermore, not everyone who wears a pentagram or black clothing is a Witch. Witches do not believe in the devil, and therefore do not worship one. Witchcraft is not Satanism. This means that Witches must not do anything to harm themselves or others. In addition to belief in the Goddesss and the God, most Witches celebrate seasonal rites.
