Craft vs Society

The Craft is one thing that is totally misunderstood by society. Even those who have an open mind, can be intimidated by just a word, such as witch or pagan. It is funny how so much has changed in the world over thousands of years, but peoples thoughts and action toward people who practise the craft. So why is it that we sit back and take the ridicule, we are no different to any other person, we just have our own beliefs.

Over the years that I have practised wicca, things and people have changed. People I meet, and become friends with tend to drop away when they find out what I do, or they tend to be unsure around me. It is not their fault, it is they way they have been raised. And I guess I would not be the only one that this would happen to. Friend who accept you for who you are a true friends, but unless they are interested in the craft as well, you still can’t really talk to them about it. And this is why we search for others that are like minded.

Well now I say it is time to take back our place in the world. It is time to fight back and show people that we are not what they think we are, it is time that the world understood the craft again.

Of course this will take time. But it will take each and every practitioner though out the world to do this. So how can this be done, you say. Well it is easier than you think. The first step is to be open about you belief. Don’t try and hide away and let other get the better of you. Two, sit down with those, such as parents, other family members and friends. Give them some books to read on the subject to help them understand. Introduce it slowly though, too much all at once might be over whelming for them.

Also, positive thinking, think there will be a time where we can walk among society with out hearing those remarks that we dread so much or those filthy looks that we get. Also remember to always be proud of who you are, never be ashamed or hide away. We all need to be strong and take small steps. And always, always believe in yourself.
