it is Hallows Eve And the witches are preparing For a night of festive fun Fixin' there brews and potions Learning new spells To cast on the mortals On Halloween night They are bringing out their Book of spells and chants Riding on their brooms Through the night skies To look for their victims They have their fires And thier cauldrons with water boiling All they need is their ingredients And their prey All this they look for On Hallows Eve Cold hands means a warm heart |

Those witches are so much like sorcerers. The biggest difference between a witch (or warlock if it's a male) and a sorcerer/sorceress is in the spells they can use - sorcerers wield the elements, warlocks and witches wield darkness.  They can learn the same spells, but each specializes in a different discipline. Just like the real difference between a cleric and a healer in most RPGs - clerics rule with the Self (Spirit, Mind, and Body)while healers can rock the house with the power of light. What is life without poetry and adventure? |

What a cute fiction there Loner I am so glad that it is very far from the truth of witches. Thunder, Darling... Witches Are the ones in tune with the elements, and their only rule of doctrine is "Only that you do no harm, do what thou wilt"... or something like that.... in other words and so you understand..... their only rule is that they can do what they please as long as it does no harm to another.... that's far from the "wielders of darkness" I find myself defending another's belief here because it has been maligned and misunderstood throughout history. It's like saying to you that Joseph Smith was a lunatic that heard voices and had a penchant for plagerizing the bible.....or that Brigham Young was a Carismatic power tripping cult leader bent on leading his followers into the desolation of the Utah desert. I wouldn't imaging that the above is true anymore than I believe that witches ride broomsticks and look for victims. They have been the victims here as their religious practices have been distorted and the holiest day of their calender has been made a mockery. My son goes to a school that lists ALL religious and national holidays... Christian, Korean, Chinese, Buddhism, Ukranian, Eastern Christian, Orthodox, Hindu, Islam, Judaism, Sikh.... but not Wicca. Tragically, the practices of Wicca, which have been around much longer than most of these is not considered a valid expression of religious freedom. To all the Saints, especially those burnt as witches. (Ironic that All Saints day follows Hollowe'en.) Sherry |
