Don’t be too hard on the kids “playing witch”. I first began learning to practice Wicca as a teenager, as do many other witches. I was one of the lucky ones though, and had a great older woman as a mentor and coven leader/high priestess and didn’t have to stumble around trying to teach myself.

For those who don’t know, Wicca is the practice of worshiping nature and the elementals (fire, water, earth and wind) and celebrating the connection between all things, living, inanimate and spiritual…well that’s the watered-down explanation. Some covens/witches practice magic (I do, in a limited way) and some do not…definitely not recommended for beginners with no mentor and it can be dangerous.

How do you know if you’re Wiccan? It’s a choice based on your beliefs. I was born into a Christian family but the teachings of the Bible never sat very well with me so I began to explore other religions and belief systems. I guess you could say I “converted” similar to the way a Protestant converts to Catholicism.

As for the Witches Den…might be true, never been there. All I can say is not all witches are good, any more than all members of any other group of people are good or evil. In the end though, that saying “What goes around comes around” is very true. In India they call it Karma. Christians say you reap what you sow. Many Wiccans even say that anything you do, good or bad, comes back on you three-fold…something to remember.

Okay a little fact here. There are cultures out there, some still today, that sacrifice animals. And there were cultures in the past that even sacrificed people. So the possibility of it happening is there. Even the likelihood is there. But lets face it, the actual probability is a lot less likely.

As far as the witch thing, I kind of agree with Joshua. As possible as it is for someone to be “good,� it is just as possible to be “bad,� no matter what their beliefs are. You tell me that as a mother, right now I’ve never physically hurt someone in my entire life, but if something / someone just horrible enough came along and harmed my daughter I wouldn’t in the slightest consider taking justice into my own hands. Even though I’ve known all my life it is wrong, and my belief to harm another person is unforgiving. Don’t get me wrong. I believe everyone has a right to believe or disbelieve whatever they like. But I’m asking kindly that we all agree to disagree when it comes to that part.

There are many types of witches on this planet and are all totally different

but there is one thing we all know if your going to sacrifices a virgin you don’t rape them first

You all need to grow up. Or at least learn to read. Did the article say you did it? Duh! It’s talking about past events. Get over it. You all sound like 7th graders.

The origin of the stereotype of a witch as evil, ugly, etc. is from ancient times when a woman might know some homemade cures for sicknesses & what not. She may have done midwifery as well. As medicine became more organised (and MALE) these negative images were developed to discredit the women, who were essentially homeopathic healers.

I must say, I am dissappointed with this site. There are no photographs, no specifics at all, really. For what I can tell the whole tale could be made up.

All of you rejects really need ta grow up and find something way better to do than argue over this idiotic witch stuff!

ALL STOP IT

wat is this, a chat room?!?!?! i’m 13, and even I know the difference between a chat room and a comment page!!!!! you have got to be kidding me!!! i happen to live in new orleans and i haven’t heard anything whenever i was walking around with me friends and 12.00AM

for you Fin Mu, THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!!!

yeah i know all about what u all are saying people need to stop fighting over being witches my bf is 1 2 and being a witch isnt something u just do its something are and that u believe in

First of all Blessed be. And if you are a true wicca or witch you understand the comment. Second of all the story is a flase story. If you know anything about murders and the FBI, it’s stated quiet plainly that there has never been a scarificial killing of animal or human.

Blessed Be. But Laura, how would you or anyone know for sure if that happened or not? Just because the police don’t know doesn’t mean squat.
