The Book of Ritual from The Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids
-Pagan. You can be a witch and be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or any other religion that does not use the label “pagan” for itself.
-Wiccan. Witchcraft is a secular practice. Wicca is a religion that involves the practice of witchcraft sometimes.
-Religious/spiritual. You can be an atheist witch.
-Female. Men and nonbinary people can be witches.
-White. A person of any ethnicity or race can practice witchcraft and be a witch.
-Straight. Anyone of any sexual orientation (gay, lesbian, bi, pan, ace, poly, multi, omni…) can be a witch.
-Cis. Trans and nonbinary people can be witches.
-A hardcore environmentalist. Respect for nature is certainly never a bad thing, but you don’t have to chain yourself to a tree or live in a building run entirely on solar power or eat only organic food to call yourself a witch.
-Vegetarian/vegan. Witches can eat meat and animal products. Remember, witchcraft is a secular practice. There is no dogma.
-Full of love and light. Witches who do not follow a religion or moral code that says otherwise may curse as they see fit.
-Dark and scary. Some witches do not want to curse anyone, and that is also fine. Make healing potions and yummy smelling tinctures to your heart’s content.
-Fictional. Witches are real, and they don’t all dress, act or believe in any particular way. All witches are valid.
