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. Honor the Earth who gave you life. Take only what you need, and offer fair return for whatever you take. Destruction in its proper time can prove beneficial, but do not destroy anything just for the sake of destruction. Every person contains a little spark of divinity, so speak to the divine spark in everyone you meet.
