For area Wiccans, everything is sacred

BALTIMORE (Map, News) - First off, Wiccans do not engage in devil worship or human sacrifice, celebrate Black Masses, or even recognize Friday the 13th as special.

“We don’t believe in Satan. He doesn’t exist. That’s Judeo-Christian,” said Pam Griffith, Baltimore witch and priestess of Dundalk’s Temple of Mystic Light. “, it’s all good. There are our gods and goddesses. We believe in the pantheons.”

“Human sacrifice has never been part of witchcraft,” Griffith added. “Witches always sacrificed the first fruit of the harvest and the last fruit of the harvest. The Black Mass is Satanism.”

Wicca is a subset of Paganism, which encompasses such earth-based, pre-Christian religions as Druidism, Voodoo, Faerie Faith, Appalachian Granny Magic, and native American worship — with all of their variations. It venerates the rhythms of life, gods and goddesses, one’s ancestors, and the agricultural seasons.
