Isis, Egyptian Goddess of Magic and Life Isis, the Egyptian goddess of rebirth remains one of the most familiar images of empowered and utter femininity. The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky. Isis was born on the first day between the first years of creation, and was adored by her human followers. Unlike the other Egyptian goddesses, the goddess Isis spent time among her people, teaching women how to grind corn and make bread, spin flax and weave cloth, and how to tame men enough to live with them (an art form on which many of us would welcome a refresher course!) Isis taught her people the skills of reading and agriculture and was worshipped as the goddess of medicine and wisdom. More than any other of the ancient Egyptian goddesses, Isis embodied the characteristics of all the lesser goddesses that preceded her. The goddess Isis, a moon goddess, gave birth to Horus, the god of the sun. The search took Isis to Phoenicia where she met Queen Astarte.

(Some people who were considered witches include Greek philosopher Pythagoras, Roman poet Virgil, and Swiss physician Paracelsus.) But Western culture's fear of witches dates back to the 1400s, when they were first persecuted in Europe. What Do Witches Do?

Witchcraft in Salem Village: Intersections of Religion and Society, Divining America, TeacherServe®, National Humanities Center Witchcraft in Salem Village: Intersections of Religion and Society Brief excerpts from referenced books: from Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaum, Salem Possessed: The Social Origins of Witchcraft (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1974), 103, 104, 105, 109. To understand this intensity [of the emotions underlying the trials], we must recognize the fact—self-evident to the men and women of Salem Village—that what was going on was not simply a personal quarrel, an economic dispute, or even a struggle for power, but a mortal conflict involving the very nature of the community itself. The fundamental issue was not who was to control the Village, but what its essential character was to be… Given the social assumptions which prevailed in seventeenth-century New England, it was a perfectly normal procedure for a town to rid itself of deviant or threatening individuals—by changing them if possible, by exile or execution if necessary. from John P. from Carol F. from David D.
Salem: Witchcraft Hysteria@nationalgeographic.com Salem’s time to kill—all the more tragic for its theological roots—claimed 25 lives. Nineteen “witches” were hanged at Gallows Hill in 1692, and one defendant, Giles Cory, was tortured to death for refusing to enter a plea at his trial. Five others, including an infant, died in prison. Each of the four rounds of executions deepened the dismay of many of the New Englanders who watched the witchcraft hysteria run its course. Gov. In May 1693 Phips pardoned all those who were still in prison on witchcraft charges. The time to heal fell under the gentle hand of the Reverend Joseph Green, who in 1697 succeeded Samuel Parris as minister in Salem Village. Massachusetts as a whole repented the Salem witch-hunt in stages. The events presented in this feature were all real, as were the quotations (edited for clarity). Click to continue.

Gods & Goddesses of the Greek, Roman, Celtic, Norse, Feary Pantheon Are the Gods and Goddess real? That depends on how you define reality. Do they live on Mount Olympus or Sinai ? Not likely. Just the same, they are as real as your Being right now as you read this. In Wicca, and Paganism in general, each of the Goddess and Gods represents an ideal, a human quality, something we as people can relate to, something to engender our passions. Above the individual Gods and Goddesses are the overall principles of male and female polarity. Above even this personification is the Universal Power. Know that in this way we are focusing on the Powers above all. So by all means, use the persona of the Gods and Goddesses to facilitate your workings but know in the back of your head that you are actually directing a much higher Power. Nor does it really matter which Gods and Goddesses we pick; a true Pagan will always be able to understand their personal God or Goddesses in the Gods and Goddesses of other Pagan peoples. So. Artemis: Greek; Goddess of the Moon.
