On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Caroline, and I'm here to tell you about Witchcraft. I'd like to kind of touch on what witches are not. Obviously, I don't have warts and hair growing out of my nose. Last I looked, I'm not green. Which is probably a good thing, although I have been green when I've eaten certain foods. We're not the type of people that go door to door and try to convert people. It's a very private thing. So anybody who is in the craft has usually been called to it, or found it when the time was right. We're not sitting around cackling over God, whatever they cackle over. Putting harm on somebody aha ha ha ha ha. You know, I haven't done that. We don't make flying ointment out of baby fat. I've given up eating children because they're high in cholesterol. You know, that's a whole other story. Actually I'm a vegetarian, which most witches are. Not everyone, but quite a few are vegetarian. Boy, there's so many misconceptions about witchcraft, it's really, really hard to get right down to what we are and what we aren't. I can't think of anybody offhand, like I said that would absolutely try to harm somebody physically, mentally, emotionally on purpose. I just don't believe, not that they're not out there, there are people who are out there who get power hungry. But the most, the biggest body of witches do not do that. And also warlock, which I feel I should explain. A lot of people think that male and female witches is witch and warlock. Warlock is actually an old Scottish term that meant 'oath breaker'. So if you walk up to somebody and call them a warlock, you're going to be dissing them man.
