hi rose, i feel the need to choose a path, instead of careering haphazordly.eg. is voodo witchcraft, and would that person be a neo-pagan? pls outline only the ‘good’ ones for me. thankx hey. Oliver

Merry Meet Oliver! Thank you for your question. You are right. It is very crucial indeed to take the time to decide your future. One thing that I know is that labels are just that. Names. What we do in the name of witchcraft is what makes the difference. In every line of witchcraft, no matter what the names are (Vedic, Wicca, African Voodoo, Hoodoo, Faierie, Native American, etc.) there are good witches and the witches who will do harm to others. In almost all of these traditions, the good witches are aware that doing good is the only way that works- doing destructive spells hurt us more as the three-fold law takes control of our destiny. Oliver, it may be a good time to think of what you will need to be a good witch. You may try several types of spells, from many traditions, to see if you prefer one particular culture or tradition. Most of the magick is concentrated on how to help people enjoy life; Love, Money, Health and Protection are some of the more popular subjects in which people need help. As a person interested in Witchcraft, you will be able to help people no matter which of these traditions you choose. Neo-pagan is just an umbrella term that defines the new Wicca and other magickal religions that adapted to the 20th century by banning bigotry and encouraging fairness and equality. The older religions probably feel threatened by this new surge of interest in the old, pagan religions and have quickly coined words that they believe will belittle the followers. However, the days of bigotry and slavery etc. will hopefully be gone forever. Hope people will learn to live in harmony, respecting the Earth and our environment and the world will finally recognize that each of us is capable of creating miracles. I hope this answers your question, Oliver. In Love and Light. Blessed Be.
