Do Witches still exist? Yes they do, and I should know, I am one. I thought about this post long and hard and contemplated about different ways in which I could write about this topic. Since one of the superpowers, that all witches have, is humour, I decided that I will make a list of all the questions that people have been asking me throughout the years and answer them in my own fun way. Yes, there will be answers and some serious information but keep in mind that this little Witch is an extremely happy one so don't mind my humour that will pop up here and there.

You know how gay people "come out of the closet"? Witches "come out of the broom closet". Yes, that is a thing. I came out of my broom closet 10 years ago and have since then been opened about my spirituality with my friends and family. I never hide who I am and what I do and am blessed that I live in the 21st century in a civilised country with great people who love and support me. Here are some questions that I have collected over the years. Hope you have fun reading them just like I did answering them.

Sure, he is a jolly bearded guy who brings you presents... Oh, Satan you say. No, not him. Witches can not worship something that does not exist. The devil is a part of a different religion, you are thinking about Christianity or Islam. Asking a Witch if she worships Satan is like asking an atheist if he worships God.

I have been practising Witchcraft for 14 years. Two of my late grandmothers were Witches. There was no tv in their time.

You do know that is illegal, right? No, I do not eat children and Witches never did.

And you don't? They can be very practical, but for the flying part no, this is actually a common misconception. A long long time ago, pagans had rituals after planting their seeds. They would bring their tools to the field, put them between their legs and dance while jumping up and down. This was an agricultural custom to show the crops how high they should grow. One day, some new people (from a different religion) came and saw that. They laughed. Time passed and a joke about people flying on brooms got transferred into books and tv shows. There is also a great book about gravity I think you should read.

Excuse me? Oh... You are referring to old women with big noses and warts? Yeah... Sorry to disappoint you. Witches were and still are the most beautiful creatures in the world. We were the first ones to make beauty products out of plants and herbs, and we take care of our bodies. This misconception also started from the same religious group that came and started bullying people around. Witches have always been free-spirited. This means that men could not tell us what to do or control our sexuality. A long long time ago some bad people came and started degrading women and controlling them. Since Witches resisted, they started telling people all sorts of lies about us including the ones regarding our looks. It stuck. Centuries later we are still battling the crazy talk how if you are beautiful you must turn into an ugly person later on.

Yes I do but since you're still here I guess it's broken.

Wich one? There are thousunds and thousands of possibilities that may happen and no one except you can determine how your life is gonna be. You make decisiouns every day, each of them shapes your future. We do not believe that anyone has all the answers and knows everything. You are thinking about Christians, not us.

No. Witches across the globe resent the connection between Haloween and our sacred sabbath Samhain. We can have fun for Haloween (if we wish) like any other person but we celebrate Samhain. They are usually on the same date or fairly close and Haloween did evolve from Samhain (not because of us, because of you), but they are two very different things.

Green is actually my favourite colour. Some of my friends wear black and some wear white. We do not have a dress code.

Didn't we go over this already with the Devil? This is part of Christianity, not Witchcraft. We can not be afraid of something we do not believe exists. We do not believe in heaven and hell, those are your stuff, not ours. We believe in reincarnation. And let me stop you right there, NO! We are not Hindu. Our thoughts about reincarnation and theirs have some huge differences.
