Witches Coven

For centuries, witchcraft was outlawed, and its followers persecuted thought out

Europe. in 1952,however,the British witchcraft laws were repealed since which

time there has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in the pre-Christian mystery

religion of Wicca (Saxon for  'life'), which is part and parcel of the practice of witchcraft.

But while the ceremonies and rituals of witchcraft no longer have to remain secret for fear of

discovery, some covens do prefer to remain silent about the precise nature of their practices.

Secrecy helps bind the members together, they believe, and also means a much smaller risk of misunderstanding

by 'outsiders'. Secrecy has, not unexpectedly led to a number of popular misconceptions about the

rituals of witchcraft. Not all covens, for instance, work naked and followers are adamant that they do not

worship the devil, nor are they anti-Christian. Although Satanist cults do exist, they have absolutely nothing to do with the

Wicca religion.
