Philosophical, Religion, Spirituality and Theosophy

"The ancient world was saturated with witchcraft. People believed in the power of the word to influence and cause events, without one lifting a hand. It followed that the believers in witchcraft had need of those experts."

Attemps to show that theologians and priests were inflicted with magic hunt. Several pages on this site along with images.

"When skeptics refer to the inquisitions, witch hunts, and other persecutions that Christianity has left in its wake as reasons to oppose the religious right's intrusion into civil and political affairs, many Christians will argue that those who were responsible for such atrocities as these were not "real Christians."

"I would like to offer an alternative to the locked-in polarity between often-uninformed Wiccan takes on history and the denial by many academic historians that repression of social groups and of culture played any role in the witch hunts. Yes, the story is more complex than the Church stamping out paganism, though that suppression is part of the story and can not be disregarded."

The Pagan Federation provides accurate information on Paganism to members of the public, the media, government offices and the clergy in order to counter misconceptions on alternative spirituality. Our aims are to provide contact between genuine seekers of the Old Ways and to promote dialogue between the various branches of Paganism and the mainstream religions such as Christianity, etc.

Witchcraft consists of many traditions. Each has its own requirements. Our coven works on a three degree system. First there is a ceremony in which you are linked to the coven for a period of time. This period is used to learn about the Craft and to see if you and the coven mesh. If all works out, you are initiated into the First Degree. The Second Degree and Third Degree may come later and each has its own ceremony. Many solitary witches perform a self dedication rite by themselves and refer to themselves as witches there after.

Witches and Witchcraft seem to be popular subjects for school reports these days. The Witches' Voice has received many requests for information resources pertaining to the subject, so we decided to put up a page dedicated to helping you get that information. This is only a small sampling of the information available and should be seen as merely a starting point and not the final words on the subject.
