1 " True Witchcraft has always been about what works, rather than adherence to dogmatic views. Witchcraft is the antithesis to dogma. Where dogma exists, Witches appear to challenge the status quo. "
― Storm Faerywolf , Betwixt & Between: Exploring the Faery Tradition of Witchcraft
2 " Witchcraft is a path that works with spirits. Whether these are the disincarnate spirits of the once living or the conscious presences within a plant, bone, stone, or other curio matters very little. "
3 " The experiential Mysteries that are at the heart of Witchcraft are usually accompanied by the secrets: certain signs, names, lore, etc. that can be intellectually revealed but would be useless to anyone who had not yet undergone the initiatory experience. "
4 " True Witchcraft is more than just the practice of it. It is the result of the practice. "
5 " As a practitioner of Witchcraft, my drive is to learn as much magic as I can from whatever sources resonate with me. In those instances in which a practice, symbol, or deity speaks to me and demands my devotion, I make a commitment to honor the cultures from which they originated by pledging to study their histories, to listen to the voices of those who identify as part of those cultures, and, where possible, to support the living people who belong to that cultural group. "
6 " True to the tone of Traditional Witchcraft, we strive to delve into the hidden secrets of nature, to commune with the intelligences that govern the natural world, and to continue to learn about the workings of the universe, just as our ancestors before us did. "
7 " Our job as practitioners of the Witchcraft is to venture beyond the firelight of normal human perception and into the Outer Darkness of the unknown. While a fewmay legitimately make such a venture, even fewer will return unscathed. "
8 " The Star Goddess is the primary deity in the Faery Tradition of Witchcraft. She is the whole, undifferentiated universe, both manifest and non. She is the vast infinite darkness, who divided herself and brought forth the first light from the primal dark. She is the great and cosmic womb of the universe, the stirring motion of primal chaos, which is all potential. She is the Void, and that which emerges from the Void. She is all and she is nothingness, circumference and center. "
