What’s important about witchcraft and about the pagan movement is, essentially, that it’s not so much a way of seeing reality, as it’s a different way of valuing the reality around us. We say that what is sacred, in the sense of what we are most committed to, what determines all our other values, is this living Earth, this world, the life systems of the earth, the cycles of birth and growth and death and regeneration; the air, the fire, the water, the land.
