Your Community

In Wicca and all Earth based religions, everything on the planet is alive and sacred. We as Witches, should do all we can to become active in making the world a better place. Like the saying goes " If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem". If we all become involved in our community we can make a big difference. Not to mention the personal joy you will feel :) Here are few ideas:

Be a volunteer

There are many organizations that need your help. Here are just few.

But I really don't have the time!

If you can't donate your time, donate some money. Even if you send one dollar or a package of stamps to the cause of your choice you are making a difference. Think about it. Is there something that you feel strongly about? Saving whales, helping abandoned or abused animals, feeding the hungry. Couldn't you spare a buck and a stamp once in a while to help these causes? Please visit my support page for some ideas.

Educate your community and friends about Witchcraft

There are countless Witches in "the broom closet" or being harassed and persecuted because many people really have no idea what we actually believe. Due to decades of misrepresentation in the media, newspapers, books, T.V. shows and news programs to name few, there are many more people who fear and even hate us than understand us. If you are in a position where you can educate others (without putting yourself in danger), there is a list of ways to do this at The Witches Voice web site (the first link on the various links page). Understanding and knowledge banishes fear.

In General

I find that little things you can do everyday can be a ritual in itself. Letting people with less groceries ahead of you. Holding the door open for someone who needs it. Picking up litter. Giving your seat to someone on public transit and just being kind and friendly in general. Saying Hello & Thank you to cashiers, tellers, bus drivers etc. Giving a Yule or Christmas card to your doctor, local merchant, postal delivery person: people that you deal with on a regular basis that provide you with a service that you appreciate. A simple smile can make someone's day.
