And your lesson for the day: The Craft of the Wise is otherwise known as "Witchcraft"or “Wicca” - a word that frightens some religious authorities, especially in the male dominated religions, but it was and is based on old traditional ways of developing one's natural powers and teaches it is wrong to harm anyone. It teaches spiritual ways of working in tune with nature. It includes the arts of the shaman, of the natural healer, the herbalist, the midwife. The Craft teaches us to find our Creatrix and Creator within us. God and Goddess for me are two aspects of the one Divinity. Unlike most modern religions, it fully honours the female as well as the male.It uses myth, poetry and stories to describe "that which cannot be told" or the Divinity. Different aspects of the divinity may be given different names. All that is natural is seen as good. Only actions that harm others are forbidden. In practice it is not institutional. The Craft is learnt by people working alone or in small groups called "families", "circles" or "covens." It does not need expensive churches. Instead a temporary sacred space can be set up as needed by using symbols. There is no professional clergy governing a flock of laity. All are expected to learn how to write and work rituals. All become priestesses or priests. The Craft probably developed out of the ancient tradition in many hunter-gather cultures in honouring certain individuals as "dreamers" or shamans because of their spiritual skills and often also their knowledge of healing. It was from the first a very nature centred spirituality and was especially strong in the countryside. Some of those who are embracing the Craft today say that it was the teachings of Christ that led them to it - for they say they find the Craft with its emphasis on love, on the goodness of nature, as more true to Christ's teachings than are the Churches. But the major influences on them and on many among my friends seems to be simply that of instinct, of love of nature and of old memories. Some practice as solitaries, others in covens. Others have found the Craft through the revival known as Wicca which currently commonly uses variants of rituals composed by men that studied the Craft in the 1950s - such as Gardner. A more spontaneous Craft is taught in more recent books such as "The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk. All notes to Prof Ink
