The Comparion Among Witchcraft and Wicca

             When you think of Witchcraft, and Wicca what comes to your mind. Historically people have associated Witchcraft with evil and regard people as using Witchcraft as harming others. The terms Wicca and Witchcraft can be used interchangeably, but there is a distinction. Wicca is a contemporary Neo-Pagan religion and Witchcraft is the practice of natural magic. Today I am going to tell you about both.

             Witchcraft is the notion that the universe is neither good nor evil, it simply just is. There is one power, the all, which is composed of everything it ever created. It does not rule over the universe, it is the universe. The supreme power is personified into male and female aspects: the goddess and the god, two who are one. The first thing to remember is that Witchcraft is a religion and witches also believe in the law of return. So if you send out negative energy that is what you in return receive. Being a witch means that you have to be painfully honest with yourself and accept full responsibility for anything in your life that you have done wrong. If you accept this as your spiritual path, the god and goddess are going to force you to take a long, hard look at your life and yourself. Most people believe that witches worship Satan, which is not true. Witches do not believe in the concept of hell or Satan. The whole concept of evil associated with the devil is due to and error in translation. Traditional Witchcraft is a practice handed down from generation to generation. It is unique unto itself. Most Christians do not consider witchcraft a religion. The only objection witches have to Christianity is that it holds itself out as being the only true way to be. Most people associate witchcraft with evil and usually regard people as using witchcraft to harm others. In early Christian centuries, those who were proved to have engaged in Witchcraft were required only to do penance. But in the late middle ages those who were accused the punishment became more severe.
