A witches teat was a third nipple on a witch that the Devil would suck on during satanic rites.\n\nThe witches teat could be anywhere and anything:  a mole (thus the stereotype of the hag with a prominent mole on her nose), a scar, or a freckle.  I have read of one person who was making good money during the witch hunts (in some places you got paid for turning in witches!) by finding the "witches teat" with a trick knife - "Oh, here's a place where I can stick a knife all the way in and it doesn't even leave a mark!"

First, ignore the bible thumpers.  Here are some good sites to start with.  They have some of the basic info.  Need anything else just post a question and we will try to help you!  Also, a good book to start with is Bucklands Complete Book of Witchcraft.\n\nhttp://www.collegewicca.com/\nhttp://www.glasstemple.com/\nhttp://www.witchipedia.org/index.php?title=Main_Page\nhttp://www.wicca.com/\nhttp://www.betwixt.org/\nhttp://www.pagan-heart.co.uk/home.html\nhttp://www.bewitchingways.com/\nhttp://www.witchway.net/\nhttp://www.wiccan-refuge.com/main.html\nhttp://www.jackowitch.com/\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/witchcra.htm\nhttp://www.paganlibrary.com/reference/wiccan_information_network.php\nhttp://wiccanet.us/\nhttp://www.witchology.com/\nhttp://www.witchvox.com/\nhttp://www.witchs-brew.org/masterindex.html

Yes there are witches and wizards,only these days they call them Wiccans.These are people who use a specific form of witchcraft, with particular ritual forms, involving the casting of spells, herbalism, divination and other forms of magic. Wiccan ethics require that magical activities are limited to good purposes only.

Christian Witches don't exist. The beliefs of a Christian and that of a Wiccan/Witch are not compatible. It is impossible to be both. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you.

means they're old school, and make magick with whatever they happen to have around--the old time witches would never have had anything for purely ceremonial use--they'd have used what herbs were in the area naturally, used their kitchen broom, not a special besom, they made a lot of magick lamps just by dropping a few herbs in the oil, and it all worked fine for them--a kitchen witch is more of a purist when it comes to the craft

Oh, don't listen to those nay-sayers....OF COURSE witches are real!!!\n\nGo to the bookstore and check out the New Age section.  There is every book imaginable that deals with Witches, Wiccan, Witchcraft, etc....\n\nAlso try to find metaphysical and/or new age stores in your area.  Lots of times they hold classes or at least know where you could go for more help in learning.\n\nBlessed Be!

I put them in the bin- \n\nI heard about this thing where people burn them to stop witches from getting hold of them to cast spells on the original owners though- do I get any points for that?\n\nNoble Chinese never cut them to show they didn't have to work, and the longer their fingernails, the more noble they were.

No. Most witches I know do actually not even own a TV set. Not because they could not afford one, but because they do not need and like the rubbish that is on TV, including the stupid nonsense about witches, written and produced by Jews and Christians.

Do a lot of reading. "A Witch Alone" by Marion Greene might be a good start for you.  Buckland's "Big Blue Book" of Witchcraft might be another book you'd find useful.\n\nThere are also tons of sites online relating to witchcraft. http://www.witchvox.com comes immediately to mind.\n\nNot all witches are the same - while we all use magic, there are wide differences in philosophical, ethical, and religious aspects depending on the path we follow.  How someone who practices Voudon will look at witchcraft a lot differently than someone who practices Wicca, and both will look at witchcraft differently than someone who practices Thelema, for example.

Witches as represented traditionally, are a fable. There are witches though who have an old enough tradition. Most of their beliefs, and practices come from one or another of the pagan traditions, sometimes, several of those. \nA spell cannot make you do something that is against your will. But, if the desire exists inside of you, it can be brought out and capitalized upon. So witches, warlocks or magicians, all use the common sense properties of the human mind and psyche. The effect of most spells however, is not immediately felt, especially when it involves some future events. So witches do exist.\nYet there exist better and worse scientists, and in the same manner some are more talented than others in witchcraft. Either way, you would not get what you expect for the most part. The true witch is considerably stronger than what you think, in one sense, and much weaker in another. Does it answer your question? There is much more that can be said about the theory of magic than can be covered here.

Well first and foremost for the person who answered that this person is working for the devil, You are an idiot. And as for her actual question, there is no such thing as a white witch. A witch is a witch anyway you look at it. I have been practicing paganism for a little over 16 years, and the term "white witch" bothers me. The very nature of a witch is someone who uses magick. And since there is no black or white magick, just magick then there can be no white witch. For instance, there would no need for a law of three if there was one set of rules for "white" witches and one for "black" witches. I wouldn't even say there were good witches and bad witches, just good people and bad people. But in reality we all are bad in some sense.

I'm a Celtic Generational from a long line of them, going back hundreds of years.  So, no, you aren't alone.  While most don't come from FamTrad, they come from another religion, there are quite a few floating about here and there.\n\nAs for the one that said male witches are called warlocks, not usually they aren't.  Most males are called witches, it's a gender-negative term that applies to both sexes.

Those ruby slippers came off of a wicked witch that was crushed by a house.  With that knowledge, I don't think that I would have even put the shoes on in the first place.  I would have been scared that the ghost of the witch my house just killed came and placed some sort of curse on them.  I don't care what the good witch or the munchkins said.  Who ever heard of a good witch anyway?
