Answer:
Merry Meet, many newcomers into the Craft of The Wise go through this ,too many preachers with condemnation for people with a different view. Firstly, we do not believe in Satan as he is an entity made up by the christian hierarchy to scare the ordinary folk and keep them in line. For a newcomer Wicca is a religion while Witchcraft is a "way of life" or a practice. The difference between these two arises from the goal they aim to reach.
The terms Black or White Magick really have no meaning. Magick in itself is a neutral force. It is how you use it that determines whether it is for good or bad. However, Witches bear in mind the message given in the Wiccan Rede and the Threefold rule; "What you do will return to you threefold"; hence, it is not advisable to actually work any harmful Magick.
The mission of our book MAGICK FOR THE NEW WITCH & WICCAN is to spread the truth and beauty about Witchcraft and Paganism. I want everyone to know our true history, our true practices and our true beliefs. I want to stop prejudice, bigotry and hatred towards and against all Witches and Wicca and any others that may share our similar beliefs. I want to spread the truth in order to bring the Craft back to its proper place in today's mainstream religions. I enjoy awakening the spark deep within beginners and awaken the sleeper.
As a Witch you will learn to honor yourself, know thyself and live a Magickal life and incorporate Magick into your daily life. You will learn to have a strong moral foundation and treat treating everything in this universe in a loving manner. Finally, as a Witch you will learn to understand these words "do as you will but harm ye none", the criteria for all your actions and your intentions.
I am a Witch and I am proud to proclaim it,the Goddess helps me and comforts me in adversity,Stand Tall and worship Her at all times,Walk in the light and you will never go astray.
Blessed Be Lady Raven Avalon
