  3. Nicely done webpage.
    Your history of the religion of Wicca is relatively complete.
    Witchcraft, however, is a spiritual practice rather than a religion. We use the knowledge of the laws of nature, most of which are unknown to or dismissed by science, to accomplish our goals.
    One can belong to any religion and still be a witch.

    Wicca relies heavily on rules, ceremony, status, and is largely drawn from European ceremonial magic. Pre-Wiccan hereditary witches may differ greatly from what Wicca promotes.

    You mention “Huna,” which is a modern misinterpretation of Hawaiian spiritual practices. In Hawai`i we consider it to be cultural misappropriation.
    It is mostly along the lines of positive thinking, and other modern works of spiritual development, etc., but misuses Maoli (Hawaiian) terms in its writings.

    I deal with witches, Wiccans, and neo-pagans regularly, and would like to share your link on my witches website for those interested.

  6. Many years ago when I first started to realize I was a natural born witch, it was suggested to me to start with the book, “Robert Bucklands Complete Book Of Witchcraft, I have learned so much more since then. Now a days when I come across someone just starting to wake up and learn the true path I give the same digestion. Soiltary Grey Witch.

  7. With all due respect, it is not “Lammas” but LUGHNASADH. Lammas is a Christian church sacrament. From Wikipedia, “Lammas Day (Anglo-Saxon hlaf-mas, “loaf-mass”), also known as Loaf Mass Day, is a Christian holiday celebrated in some English-speaking countries in the Northern Hemisphere on 1 August. It is a festival to mark the annual wheat harvest, and is the first harvest festival of the year. The name originates from the word “loaf” in reference to bread and “Mass” in reference to the primary Christian liturgy celebrating Holy Communion.”
    Wiccans celebrate LUGHNASADH, a celebration of the sun god, Lugh, again from Wikipedia ” . . . originally Lughnasadh or Lughnasa (/ˈluːnəsə/ LOO-nə-sə) is a Gaelic festival marking the beginning of the harvest season. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. In Modern Irish it is called Lúnasa, in Scottish Gaelic: Lùnastal, and in Manx: Luanistyn. Traditionally it is held on 1 August, or about halfway between the summer solstice and autumn equinox.”
    We also don’t call Imbolc “Candelmas” nor Ostara “Easter” for the same reasons. These were attempts by the Christian church to appropriate Celtic/Gaelic pagan celebrations. Everyone knows what Easter is all about, but few know that Candelmas is a SPECIFIC Christian holy day: “Candlemas (also spelled Candlemass), also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus Christ and the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a Christian Holy Day commemorating the presentation of Jesus at the Temple.” (Wikipedia)
    I have nothing against Christianity, having been a Christian myself at one time, however, this is a religious group that has often persecuted witches, so I think it is inappropriate to use the names of Christian holy days as though they are interchangeable with our own.

    1. With all due respect Lammas and Candlemas have been in use for many decades by witches. Most of our Sabbats have the original Celtic name as well as a Neo-Pagan name. I am aware of what you have pointed out but do not use Wikipedia as a reference because a lot of the information is either wrong or not fully explained. With this said, Do you have any other sources for the information that you posted in this comment? May I ask how long you have been following this spiritual path and if you are Elder and High Priestess of a current coven?

      1. Just because it has been mistakenly used by many people, does not make it correct. The ending of ‘mas” is a dead giveaway that it is a Christian sacrament. I should know, I was a Christian for many, many, many years as well as a church choir member and soloist.

        For Candlemas, see https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/the-tradition-of-candlemas for an alternate source. All you have to do is Google the word to find several sources.

        For Lammas see https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Lammas.

        Of course, we don’t use the word “Easter” for Ostara, do we? No, because that is too obviously one of those pagan celebrations that the Christian church “borrowed” in an attempt to lure the pagans away from the celebrations of life that they had been enjoying for thousands or more years. You don’t find it curious that so many Christian church celebrations fall around the same time as pagan ones? Do you use the name Christmas for Yule? “Christ’s Mass,” supposedly the birth of Jesus, which no one REALLY knows the date, there are many different speculations regarding the actual date of Christ’s birth.

        I have been a witch for 14 years, I have taught local classes on Wicca and Witchcraft, I am an Elder and a High Priestess of a coven and have served as an officer for the national organization Covenant of the Goddess, https://cog.org, of which I am a member and very active on the local council.

    2. Hello,

      I’m genuinely confused – I went to the cog website after reading your initial and follow-up comments to explore the site and any events coming up. After clicking on the newsletter link https://cog.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/46-6-Lammas_PUBLIC.pdf , I found it also references Lammas.

      If this is a mistake, and you certainly seem to be high ranking in your organization, it may be wise to correct your own organization based on your knowledge and beliefs before reaching out and correcting others so thoroughly. Although the information may be correct, it does sound a little schoolmarm – even though you may not have intended it that way. As for names – they carry power and although I think it’s important to keep the original – it’s also an interesting idea to instill our own power into something was intended to be used against us.

      1. I went t o CoG website and am wondering if you read the part on there homepage about the newsletter comes out on every Sabbat? Since Lammas was the last Sabbat if figures the newsletter they have up would be about it.The reference you gave to CoG as the link you provided goes only to a picture. The information talked about on WOTC homepage were written by our founder Lady Abyss, who went to the Summerland 2 years ago and I have no intention to change the information. This website was started and remains a place were no matter which Pagan/Spiritual path a person may follow hopefully there is information the person may find interesting.
        Blessed be,
        Lady Beltane Sage

      2. Thank you for trying to clear up my confusion. My comment was to Ms Perron and her corrections.

        I like the information on the WOTC site and support you in holding the memory of a cherished soul.

    3. Thank you for your post. It always makes me cringe when I see the christianized versions of our sacred days.

  9. A comment on your Thirteen Books Every Wiccan Should Read section. You praise Ronald Hutton. His books can be a pleasant read. But unfortunately Hutton is an unreliable researcher. His attempts to discredit pagan beliefs have sometimes had no sensible foundation. I go into these matters in my paper “Ronald Hutton, Sir James Frazer and the Discrediting of Pagan Beliefs in The Stations of the Sun”. This can be read at http://www.pagansbeliefs.com.

    1. Thank you for your input. As I did not put that author of his book up on the page after I read your paper and a book by him I will make a more informed decision on whether to keep it on there or not.
