witchcraft

As one of the fasted growing religious movements, neo-paganism scatters around Europe, the USA and the rest of the Western World. There are extremely diverse paths with beliefs that range widely from polytheism to animism, to pantheism and other paradigms. The largest Neopagan movements are Wicca and the Druidism, whose followers often call themself witches (or druids) and believe in magic, witchcraft and energy. They respect their environment and celebrate eight Sabbaths a year were they praise the nature and often hold rituals on full moons. It is a small community, not well known, but with its own organizations, festivals, magazines, shops, workshops, gatherings and ceremonies. Many of them can be found in the United States and England.

I followed many different groups and solitary witches in many different places to have a look inside of the spiritual practices of this new belief.
