The Goals of a Witch
The following words are not the 13 Goals as written by Scott Cunningham (with the exception of the first goal of which no such list could be without). In fact many of the Goals listed here are not the words of pagans at all. But, since we have so often made a point to hope that non-pagan society can learn from us, we should also remember never to stop learning from them. There is great power in shared wisdom.
