Do witches hurt or kill animals in their rites?
Never! We love animals. That ‘eye of newt and toe of frog’ stuff is nonsense. It is hard to reconcile the gibbering witches of Mac Beth with the proud Pagan priestesses of Egypt, Babylon, Knossos and Ireland, or with ethical modern Wiccans, but those were Burning Times, when magic and the Craft itself became degraded under constant persecution.
