"THE TRUTH AND TALES ABOUT PAGANS"
No.1/ PAGANS DO NOT WORK WITH THE DEVIL:
In fact they do not have a DEVIL or a SATAN or any concept of an all - evil deity in their belief system. Earth based religions are based on the balance of all things & view the GOD & GODDESS equally.
No.2/ A PENTACLE/PENTAGRAM IS NOT A SYMBOL FOR EVIL:
A pentacle is a five pointed star surrounded by a circle. This represents the four elements EARTH, AIR, FIRE,& WATER with the 5th element is ether, being SPIRIT. The pentacle is an amulet and a symbol for protection. In some traditions it is used inverted to show differing degrees of intiation.
No.3/ HEATHEN & OR PAGAN:
These names are not something to be ashamed of. Heathen means dweller on the heath and pagan means one who lives in the land. These terms only became popular to describe followers of the old religion, as the new religion was only followed in large towns nand in the Royal Courts. The continuation of the old faith was with those who worked on the land & retained contact with the God & Goddess.
No.4/ WITCHES DO NOT PRATICE EVIL:
Many believe in two laws that guide all they do. The three fold law where everything you do returns to you three times good or bad in this lifetime(similar to karma), and the Wicca Rede "An it harm none, do what ye will". This includes yourself.
No.5/ WITCHES DO CAST SPELLS:
In Witchcraft a spell is a thought, a projection, a means of achieving a desired effect, and differs little from prayer or meditation in other religions. They are not used for evil or to do harm.
No.6/ PAGANS ARE DIVERSIFIED:
Pagans come from all walks of life: police officers, nurses, doctors, teachers, layers etc. You never know, your next door neighbour may be one! Paganism does not discriminate according to colour, race, creed or sexual preference, as all are equal in the eyes of the God & Goddess.
No.7/ A WARLOCK IS NOT A MALE WITCH:
A Witch is a Witch regardless of their sex. In the old traditions the male was called a Wicca, and the female was called a Wicce. Warlocks is from a Scottish word "worloga", meaning "deceiver" or "traitior" and was applied to anyone, who during the Inquisition or the "Burning Times", gave away the names of other coven members.
