Let The Truth Be Heard!
This page was created to blast away all the stereotypes about
Witches and Pagans.
Witches and Pagans.
When one defines oneself as Pagan, it means she or he follows an earth or nature
religion, one that sees the divine manifest in all creation. The cycles of nature are
our holy days, the earth is our temple, its plants and creatures our partners and

father God, who together created all that is, was, or will be. We respect life, cherish
the free will of sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation.

Wiccans aren't evangelical. We have no need to go out and spread the word.
Answering questions about our religion is far different from knocking on doors and
asking strangers, "Have you heard the word of the Goddess today?"

Wicca accepts that every religion is correct to its adherents. All paths lead to the top
of the Mountain! This doesn't mean that we like every representative of every
religion, but ecumenicism must be the way of life.
