    Default Witches

    I'm doing a research paper on Wiccan religion and I need a primary source to collect information from. It would be very apperciate if you answered a few questions for my project:

    1. When you heard the word, "Witch", what is the first thought that comes to your mind?
    2. What do you know about Wiccan religion?
    3. Do Wiccans worship Satan?
    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?
    5. When you hear about witches performing rituals and joining covens, what thought comes to mind?

    Thank you in advance. n_n ~
    Also, feel free to add anything you feel that might be helpful to my survey.

    1. When you heard the word, "Witch", what is the first thought that comes to your mind?

    Um. Cats. I think of black cats and I love those. :]

    2. What do you know about Wiccan religion?

    It's better than some other religions out there and it's more believable to me as well. It's also not all 'spells' and 'witch craft' either, from what I heard.

    3. Do Wiccans worship Satan?

    No they don't. If I'm remembering right, they worship a type of goddess figure.

    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?

    I like them and they don't scare me. I'm actually friends with some.

    5. When you hear about witches performing rituals and joining covens, what thought comes to mind?

    Um--that this is something from the movies? Besides, I'd also put Christians into this slot. They tend to have a prayer ritual before and after each meal, a meeting ritual every Sunday and so forth--all denoted with different names so it doesn't come off as something bad. Also, what about nuns and monks? They join what I would consider a coven.
    Just a couple quotes here that amuse me:

    'Have you seen my feet, my investigatin' feet?!'
    --The Cat ~Red Dwarf~

    'I'm the world's happiest tool.'
    --Reese ~Malcom in the Middle


    'And remember: Tuesday is Soylent Green day.'
    --Soylent Green


    'The bread is delicious.'
    --Medal of Honor

    1. Hocus Pocus. Sorry, but I love the movie.
    2. Not a whole lot, but from my basic understanding in talking with a few folks, it's kinda like Druids/Paganism mixed with Witchcraft and stuff.
    3. No, they had their own separate idols/gods/spirits/whatever they worship.
    4. Cool, just keep the vodoo magic from me. I like tricks, but I hate spells on me (Good or bad).
    5. Salem. Sad, but true. Though personally I believe the Salem Witch Trials were one of America's Greatest atrocities.

    Does that help you out?

    1. When you heard the word, "Witch", what is the first thought that comes to your mind?
    To be completely honest, "Witch" comes to mind. o_O Someone who practices witchcraft both good and bad. Also, Wizard of Oz.
    2. What do you know about Wiccan religion?
    I know that the Wiccan religion worships both a goddess, and a god respectively, and are often seen by Christians as satan worshippers, cause they're stupid and close minded.
    3. Do Wiccans worship Satan?
    AHAHAHA, no. They never have, and probably don't even believe Satan exists.
    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?
    They're real, and very much practice magic in everyday life. They're just people who believe in different things, like everyone else. Except those...-cough- Conformists.
    5. When you hear about witches performing rituals and joining covens, what thought comes to mind?
    Sounds like Christianity and all God-fearing religions. Actually, sounds like almost all religions in general.

    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?
    • I don't shun it, seeing how it's like a devil's proof. You cannot deny it's existance nor prove it. So I like them.

    • Cults.

    I simply picked this as a topic because it's interesting, original and I personally have a deepened interest in religions related to control over oneself and nature.

    1. When you heard the word, "Witch", what is the first thought that comes to your mind?
    I think one who casts spells and sell their soul to the devil-- in other words, The Crucibles.

    2. What do you know about Wiccan religion?
    What I do know is that they're spiritual in nature and believe the earth has some kind of powers... my knowledge is little on it, I think I'm wrong.

    3. Do Wiccans worship Satan?
    Actually they don't, it's mistaken that they do because of the star. A Satanist have the star pointed face down while a Wiccan's star is faced upwards which represents the elements. (perhaps that should be something I "DO" know. Lol)

    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?
    As long they don't use anything for bad, but I don't want to be involved with it either.

    5. When you hear about witches performing rituals and joining covens, what thought comes to mind?
    I don't want anything to do with it, and it's not because I'm Catholic but just as a person I don't want to mess around with whatever they're doing. Just hope it's not used for bad things.

    This is an interesting topic, really. I hope you'll do good on it.

    Salem, oddly enough...

    2. What do you know about Wiccan religion?
    They feel strong ties to nature and spirit. They're peaceful and respectful of others practice's and beliefs unless another is coming to physical/mental/emotional harm.

    3. Do Wiccans worship Satan?
    Most Wiccans do not even believe in Hell, so how could there be a devil/Satan?

    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?
    Seriously misunderstood.

    5. When you hear about witches performing rituals and joining covens, what thought comes to mind?
    Doing what feels natural to them. Honoring the spirits and the God/dess.

    Not a lot of detail, I know, but it's hard to explain in detail when you don't know the amount of background a person has. :S

    Honestly? Harry Potter witches, of the Emma Watson variety.

    Outside of being an ancient polytheistic religion with as many if not more quirky rituals than described in Leviticus? Not much.

    I...don't think so, the idea Satan wasn't invented until the New Testament, and since Wicca is deeply pagan (if I remember correctly) it's probably older than Christianity is.

    If you mean specifically people who utterly believe that taking a bunch of animal parts and boiling them inside a circle of wax actually curses people--I'm going to be brutally honest and say I think as much of them as I think of all fanatically religious zealots. Not very highly.

    A gathering of very disillusioned people gathering, doing a big group activity that's all smoke and mirrors, and truly believing it's contributing to some higher metaphysical force in the universe. Sounds like mass!

    In any case, I refrained from looking up any of the questions and answered it on first impression basis; which is what I'm assuming the type of response you want.

    Halloween.

    2. What do you know about Wiccan religion?
    Quite a bit; I know a quite a few people who describe themselves as "Wiccan".

    3. Do Wiccans worship Satan?
    No.

    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?
    If you mean people who perform magic (or "magick", if you want to be all uppity about it) or curses or hexes or spells, they don't exist, and the Wiccans who believe themselves to be able to do this are irrational and self-deluded, looking with pretense at the world around them as a means of continually deluding themselves into belief in their own metaphysical abilities or skills.

    5. When you hear about witches performing rituals and joining covens, what thought comes to mind?
    The aforementioned irrational, self-deluded folk, being irrational and self-deluding with other irrational, self-deluded people.

    That's exactly what I want. I don't want people to look up answers. I want to hear honest opinions from people. I'm going to make a judgement based on the answers I collect.

    Also thanks for all your help guys, keep them coming~ n_n

    Default Re: Witches

    1. When you heard the word, "Witch", what is the first thought that comes to your mind?
    The Salem witchcraft trials.

    2. What do you know about Wiccan religion?
    Very little. If I remember correctly it is an earth bound religion. It's not evil with few to no spells to promote "a curse"

    3. Do Wiccans worship Satan?
    NO!

    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?
    They are just like everyone else. We all bleed the same color. They just choose to look at life alil differently then the majority of people would.
    Most witches I have met have been pretty easy going and "spiritual"

    5. When you hear about witches performing rituals and joining covens, what thought comes to mind?
    Again, the Salem witchcraft trials. Probably because I had a ancestor (a judge) attempt to defend the witches.

    @Ribbon here's another information sweetie. The symbol used for a Wiccan is called a Pentacle whereas a Satanist's symbol is called a Pentagram. It's a HUGE difference, usually Wiccan's are irritated with that of a mix up. This source came from my fiance from the information from his Wiccan friend.

    Thanks for the thought, Seung-li. However I already have all the answers to the questions I posted. :3 I'm just testing everyday people on their thoughts and what they know about Wiccan religion. My research paper is specifically about the misconceptions in Wiccan religion. Hence why I'm surveying you all. <3

    According to my brother, there's a bit more to it than that. The pentagram in an upside down version of the pentacle. One represents a goddess while the other a hunter. Though I'm not sure which. One is also a female version of the star. (But Santanists do use pentagrams.)

    1. When you heard the word, "Witch", what is the first thought that comes to your mind?
    Misunderstood humans who are mistaken for devil worshipers. Most aren't though, but they are all still very mysterious.

    2. What do you know about Wiccan religion?
    I know it is somewhat a peaceful religion. I used to be in to Wicca, but I hardly scraped the surface. I have stopped, but from what I learned Wiccan's are misunderstood.

    3. Do Wiccans worship Satan?
    No.

    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?
    Depends on what kind. The ones who practice dark magic, I don't really like. I don't believe in using witchcraft for evil. Witches are people who believe in their own beliefs. So they are often criticized because people often view them as "evil."

    5. When you hear about witches performing rituals and joining covens, what thought comes to mind?
    I hope they aren't performing anything evil. When it comes to ANYTHING I do not like people doing evil. Not sure why.

    1. When you heard the word, "Witch", what is the first thought that comes to your mind?
    I think of the Salem Witch Trials. I've always been interested in them.

    2. What do you know about Wiccan religion?
    Ehh, not much to be honest. I think they focus more on the spirituality found on earth, not on some "higher power". They derive their energy from nature itself, not from a cross or some holy symbol, like druids.

    3. Do Wiccans worship Satan?
    I thought that was Christianity? Plus like I said, I'm pretty sure they're more centered around the idea of the spirituality and energy of the earth; not in a specific deity.

    4. What is your opinion about witches in real life?
    I've met a few who claimed to be witches, but I didn't know them well enough to learn too much. They were really calm and collected though.

    5. When you hear about witches performing rituals and joining covens, what thought comes to mind?
    Every religion has some sort of ritual they participate in, like Mass, sacrament, Ramadan, etc. It's not very unusual in my opinion.

    A pentagram is the five-pointed star (sometimes called a "Goblin Cross"). A pentacle is the five-pointed star inside the circle. Two completely different things. Wiccan's use both, and combined with the directions they can be turned (mostly right-side up, and upside-down), they can mean totally different things. Some branches of Wicca use an upside-down pentacle to differentiate a newer initiate from more senior members of the coven as a basis to show where they are in their studies.

    A six-pointed star is a bit different (think Star of David). Together it symbolizes the unity of the elements and the joining of masculine and feminine. Broken down into individual parts, you have symbols representing Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.
