Witches: Fact and Fiction

The titile of an entry upon one of the blogs hear caught my eye, so I decided to read it, and then I could not beleive that I read, and did not know if I ought to be angery or just laugh my ass off, though I do have to admit it ranckled me abit, becasue it is the same kind of outdated thinking that I am constantly having to deal with. I thought about posting something on thier blog but figured it would do no good, if she was stupid enough to post that as vailid fact then it would not matter what anyone else had to say, as well I trust the fellow readers would not buy into it, but draw the same conclusions from it as I myself, unless they were as ignorant as she, and then once again it would not mattered what was said.

The post was titled Demons and Sexual relations, and of course was all about how witches ingage in intercourse with demons. Oh my god, you have got to be kidding me. I was just taken aback when I was sitting there reading that, who seriously thinks that way anymore? Is that not the most sterotyptical bull shit ever, that is straight out of the middle ages.

Now I do not in fact calassify myself as a witch, and Witchcraft, and Witches are there own thing, but we are all still Pagans, and Witchcraft does fall under the Pagan umbrella and I have known some witches, and been friend with witches before, and I there was a time when I use to consider myself a witch when I was just starting to come into Pagansim and begin my studies and practices in the beleief system, and the notion that Witches fratinze with demons is completely ridiculous. 

Even traditionally, back in the middleages true Witches did not consort with evil spirits and that is not what true Witchcraft is all about, despite what hollywood and Christains might like to try and make you beleive. Though like with any human being, of any backgrround, there would be and still are a few bad seeds, they do not represent what the craft is truely about and they are not accepted and do not practice true witchcraft but they prevert it and twist it around and trying to use them as an example for all would be like using zealots and fanatics as a bais of defining  an entire relgion of any order.
