Many Witches feel that wearing black attracts and holds more natural energy. Neither are Wiccans or those in other pagan paths. Witches can be either men or women. Men and Women alike can be Witches, Wiccans or pagans. People are generally drawn to Wicca and other pagan paths for several reasons.
Many women feel left out of more mainstream religions because of the lack of feminine divinity.
For them, the Wiccan concept of the Goddess as Mother of all Living fills an empty space in their spiritual search. People drawn to the mystical find pagan belief systems much more accommodating as we do not see anything unnatural about psychic ability or the use of magic to create needed changes in one's life. It gives us the freedom to make our own decisions about what is best for us. We feel that the attempted conversion of others is a form of religious bigotry. We feel that all paths are equally valid as long as they do not infringe upon the basic civil rights or free will of another.
