An ye harm none, do what ye will

All life is majickal and sacred.

 

There are do and don't about witches and many times they are associated with evil especially around Halloween, but most of these stories are not true at all. 

The pentacle, or five-pointed star in a circle, is a symbol of universal wisdom. Witches wear it as an amulet of protection and place it upon their altars to represent the element of earth. A spell is a thought, projection, prayer, or manifestation. Other religions use prayer, meditation, ritual, and even the “law of attraction” to get results.  Spells do not imply harm.

My favorite costume in Second Life is that of a witch. I feel magickal when I wear it. Even in Real Life I often worn a witches outfit during Halloween and it was never meant to be evil (well maybe to scare some greedy teenagers who have come to my door begging for Candy).

Witches come from every socio-economic and ethnic background. Many Witches hold professional positions of responsibility. They are doctors, nurses, politicians, lawyers, and teachers. (I am a retired teacher and I have done a magickal job educating those Kindergarteners for years.) Witches know that doing evil and harm is against universal law. Witchcraft tells us, “An ye harm none, do what ye will.” You have heard that before "what goes around, comes around."

 Keep that in mind when you are wandering around in Second Life, that witches are real in many ways so if you roleplay that character, then do it right. Spread some love and peace around both worlds.
