If you like most people, you probably think of an old hag riding across the sky on Halloween. Or maybe Samantha twitching her nose on Bewitched. Well, both of these stereotypes are wrong. Hi, I'm Rick Hammond Tree. Tonight, we're going to take a look into modern day witchcraft and hopefully dispel some of those ancient myths. These are villages, modern day practitioners of the ancient mysteries of Wicca. They are pagans. They do not believe in Christ. They worship various deities, depending on their color coven. They do not turn people into frogs. They do not worship the devil. They do not fly across the sky on brooms. They worship the forces of nature and perform some magic. But their primary principle is any harm. None. Do what you will. In other words, do anything you want, but don't hurt anyone. Which is a particular practitioner of the old religion. She is a person. She or he is a person who has embraced a particular ethical code and recognizes nature as a divinity, second only to that which is an initiated person, a person who has gone and learned witchcraft from another person, who knows witchcraft, who is then conferred initiation upon that person. There are an awful lot of people that feel that you get witchcraft, like the measles, that you just catch it or you wake up one morning, or because your great grandmother was in which you're a witch, or because you demonstrate some some basic psychic ability that makes you a witch because you read tarot cards, because once you found a Ouija board in an attic and tried that, that makes you a witch. And none of those things make you a witch.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114023/file/216761#t=69.6,172.47"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114023/file/216761/transcript/61529/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"The practice of magic makes you a magician and not a witch. Now, why are. Which is so secretive. Because of the censorship of the Christian community. If my neighbors knew I was a witch, I would get rocks through my windows, even though I've never harmed anyone with witchcraft or in any other way. Now, are you Satanists? And do you deal with the devil? We didn't even have a devil before Christianity sort of pirated or wanted God in order to. It was a political move to make witchcraft look bad. We don't have any devil in our religion. None of the ancient religions have a devil. It's a relatively new concept. It's 2000 years old. The word devil itself comes from the word Darva, which means little God. If they do worship the devil, they definitely are not welcome. How does one become a witch? Do you have to be born into it? Some people feel that witchcraft is something that's trance translated through the genes, that if your mother practice, then somehow your genealogical makeup entitles you to be a witch. And that's simply not true. We spend many years basically reading, and when we were finally accepted into a study group to study Wicca, it takes a minimum of a year and a day before you can even be initiated. And thereafter it's continuous study. Do you make potions and do they work? We do make potions and use potions, but it's not actually the potion. It does everything. It's what we have to channel with it, the energies that go along with it. Our energy is added to it and added to the effectiveness. But a whole lot of the things that medical science uses is real weird to the people who find out what their doctor put in them, which is use a circle to worship it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114023/file/216761#t=173.22,279.88"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114023/file/216761/transcript/61529/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"There are no temples, nor are there any churches. Whoever coven draws a serpent is where the worship takes place. We use a circle because a circle is a symbol of the sun, the earth, the universe. It's a symbol of wholeness, perfection, peace. It has no beginning and no ending. And therefore, we create a place of both continuity and stability. Yes. Which is really do have special grounds. One of the special characteristics of these groups is not flight, however. That is a myth that originated from the fact that all witches carry brooms to the meaning of the covenant. Pretty soon the gossipers had them flying across the sky on them. The witch's broom is a symbol of universal creative energy, some which is charge that brooms with special powers, but none have gotten them to fly quite yet. So why would you choose witchcraft as a religion? Well, think of witches as cast only as casting spells, working only in spells. Well, as I think we've covered this too, before. Well, we call it magic. And of course, that doesn't necessarily do magic without being a witch. But other people think this is the answer to it. I personally was looking in witchcraft for a coherent moral code, an ethical code code of behavior. I was looking for a philosophy that would place myself into the perspective of the world that I see around me. This one is directed more towards the individual who is the only one that is hiding his identity from it. Why the hood? The question of Prudence. I'm unwilling to be public because I'm unwilling to take the consequences of that. That's it. Another answer to that question is right away. Why do they hide their identity? Because if someone says and it's just in a topic of conversation, you're talking to someone and they find that you're a which you're you say, Well, okay, I am.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114023/file/216761#t=280.12,414.69"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114023/file/216761/transcript/61529/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Right away. They're terrified. You're shaking in their boots. You're going to zap that person. You're evil. Perhaps if people notice, they won't be scared of us anymore. And I won't be getting rocks in my windows. This country was founded on the principles of religious freedom. And when we guaranteed these freedoms, we didn't admit certain religions. We included them all. Now, Wicca is a religion, though it may not seem this way to the subjective Christian line, it is nonetheless a religion. I have learned that a lot of my stereotypical views of witches were wrong. They seem to worship the forces of nature and the deities connected with it.
