Anyone of any age can visit and read this web site. Those who are just idly curious about witchcraft are welcome to read and learn.
This is a web site for real teen witches (and grandmother witches). If you are just into witchcraft as a teen rebellion thing, this ain’t your kind of web site. Not trying to discriminate against anyone, just trying to be clear about intentions.
not just for teenagers…
while this site’s largest audience is teenagers,
the second largest audience is grandmothers!
This site should be useful to any real witch, beginner or sage. The more you know about witchcraft, the more useful the web site will be, but even beginners should find a lot of useful information.
Witchcraft is the fastest growing belief system in the U.S. and the second largest religion in the U.S. Witchcraft (including Wicca) passed Buddhism in 2005, passed Hinduism in 2007, passed Islam in 2008, and passed Judaism in March of 2009.
Witches are the primary defenders of nature and mother earth.

Important: Most Muslim nations and a few Christian nations still have and enforce the death penalty for Witchcraft. In many additional nations, especially in Africa, it is common for Christian or Islamic mobs to kill those accused of Witchcraft without legal authority (in many cases the accused are simply independent or smart women). In every nation in the world it is still common to find discrimination against Witches in education, housing, employment, and other activities, even if such discrimination is against the law. Sometimes it is the police, judges, or other government officials engaging in illegal discrimination against Witches.

Lying to parents or sneaking around behind their backs is a very bad idea. It will make your parents think you are an irresponsible child.
There is no recruiting in Witchcraft. Every Witch must be drawn to the Craft on their own.
Do not eat dangerous, toxic, or poisonious plants. Some plants are powerful drugs (more than two thirds of all modern drugs are derived from plants). Do not leave candles, incense, or other open flames or embers burning unattended. Practice basic safety, especially in the kitchen and garden.
There is no place in Witchraft where there is a rule that says “adults aren’t allowed to know”.
Do not put negative energy into spells or rituals (this is sometimes called “black magick”). Whatever energy you send out into the world will come back to you three times over.
Do not spell beg.
For those of you who have AOL accounts, there is a scheduled class “Wicca 101” for beginners on Tuesday nights and “Beginners Chat“ on Thursday nights at Keyword “Pagan” (The Circle).
There is a lot of confusion over exactly what witchcraft is. Part of this confusion is because “witch” has a lot of different meanings, and the number of meanings is expanding rapidly. The preceeding definition is a root definition, from which the many modern defintions are derived. Obviously there will be a lot of modern witches who don’t match the root definition. We’re not trying to exclude them. Once you understand the root definition, it becomes easier to understand how the many modern varieties came into existence.
In particular, we are not trying to discriminate against guys. Of course men can be witches. Traditionally, witches are women, but there have always been a small number of male witches. In modern times it is much more common for males to become witches.
You see, the origins of witchcraft are early human efforts to deal with women’s mysteries, particularly the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and childbirth. We can’t be certain when witchcraft first started, although it probably started around the same time that pre-humans mastered fire (around 400,000 years ago). The oldest evidence of witchcraft is a piece of whalebone from 106,000 years ago that has a crude calendar marking the phases of the moon and a woman’s menstrual cycle.
Early witchcraft combined magick ritual with herbal preparations, built on millenia of lore passed down through generations of wise women.
As one example, consider the use of the rose. Modern science has revealed that the rose hip (the sweet part at the center of a rose) has the highest concentration of iron of any plant (it is also an excellent source of vitamin C). A woman loses a lot of iron during her period, and a natural supplement of iron has obvious positive benefits. Additionally, there are a few dozen minor trace ingredients in rose hips, many of which help stabilize a woman’s emotions and moods while on her period.
Obviously early witches didn’t know the scientific details, but they did know that eating rose hips (either fresh, or dried rose hips used to make rose hip tea) helped during menstruation. So, taking rose hips during menstruation became a fairly standard part of witchcraft.
In fact, it is this witchcraft practice that led to the association of roses with romance. Before Christianity, the use of rose hips or rose hip tea during a woman’s period was fairly common knowledge. The men who were close to a woman (particularly her husband or mate) would make sure that they brought their lover plenty of roses during her period. And obviously a man would have to be on intimate terms with a woman to know the right timing for when to bring roses.
Several Christian popes attempted to eliminate the practice of witchcraft, including outlawing growing or possessing flowers with the death penalty (because witchcraft made so much use of various flowers for herbal preparations). This harsh penalty caused a lot of the common knowledge about the herbal effects of various flowers to be lost in Western civilization, but the association of roses with romance and love remained long after the actual witchcraft meaning was lost.
Witchcraft, like any living religion, has blossomed and grown and changed through the millenia, and now has lots of different forms. But all of those new forms can be traced back to early female shamanism.
Just about every culture in the world had at least one form of witchcraft. There are several hundred common forms of witchcraft practiced in the United States, the two most common being eclectic withcraft and Wicca.
Eclectic Witchcraft is an individual approach in which a witch picks and chooses from many different traditions and creates a personalized form of witchcraft that meets her needs and abilities.
Wicca is a loosely connected group of about 150 modern Western witchcraft religions.
The Wiccan Rede is summarized by the line “an ye harm none, do what ye will”. Click here for the complete Rede of the Wiccae.
Tameran Witchcraft is any modern form of witchcraft based at least in part on ancient Egyptian witchcraft, including some forms of eclectic witchcraft and some forms of Wicca.
Kemetic Witchcraft is an attempt to exactly recreate ancient Egyptian witchcraft, usually one particular time period in ancient Egyptian history.
The Advanced Bonewit’s Cult Danger Evaluation Framework provides a value neutral method for determining if a particular religious group is a dangerous cult or not (value neutral means that the beliefs are not evaluated against a particular religious doctrine, but rather the practices are evaluated).
I know that all you fans of the old Bast site are anxiously awaiting the return of the Pagan Holy Day Calendar and Daily Lunar/Astrological Charts. I am working on them as fast as my little fingers can type.
Do you have an essay on witchcraft or paganism? Want to share your views, your feelings, your hopes and dreams with other witches? Send a copy of your essay (no more than 2,500 words) contact the Twitter account.
Not many deities in that list. Sorry, but we are short-handed. Most of the deity pages are here because we already did the work for the old Bast web site.
So, we are going to try an experiment. We’re going to see if we can set up an effective virtual priesthood. The idea is that witches will volunteer to become a virtual priest or priestess of the particular God or Goddess that resonates with them individually. The volunteer priesthood will gather information about their particular deities for presentation on this web site. Because there is a lot of power in having a uniform presentation of information throughout the entire web site, we’re working on some guidelines. We hope to start publishing these guidelines on line so that potential volunteers will know what they are getting into.

From time to time we get requests from the press for teen witches to repond. Be aware that not all members of the press are pagan friendly and that some intentionally twist your words to give completely difefrent meanings than you intended. Decide for yourself which press requests to respond to and how you want to respond. Use your judgement.
Blessed Be, Milo! This is a great site!
My name is Lauren (nice to electronically meet you), and I’m a 24-year-old Eclectic Witch who’s writing a book with Simon & Schuster about Witchcraft for teens. I was 14 when I first started on this path, and I really think it’s time for Pagan teens to have a voice in the larger community.
I can assure you that the book is going to be totally quality, without any obscure malarkey or condescension…it’s got lots of practical resource info and an emphasis on individual interpretation in practicing Wicca. I’m writing to you because my editor and I are looking for essays from teen practitioners to include in the book. Think I could post somewhere on your site?
Yours in the Goddess,
Lauren Apostolides
