Is Witchcraft a cult lifestyle? What about Covens?
Witchcraft is not a form of a cult, which is defined as: 1: formal religious veneration: Worship 2: a system of religious beliefs and ritual 3: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious 4: followers of a religion based on the dogma set forth by a leader or small group of leaders All of the definitions show that a cult is a religious body, and Witchcraft is not a religion. The Craft has no one leader and has no religious doctrine that supports a specific God or Goddess. It is not spurious, for the Craft has origins of over 20,000 years, which most certainly indicates that Witchcraft is not a fad.
