Wicca Today
If you conjure up an image of a witch, you probably picture an evil looking lady with a pointy hat, pointed nose and a broomstick. But that's not how the modern-day witch appears and Julie-Anne Farmer is living proof of that.
Julie-Anne is a practising wiccan and she says the modern-day version of the witches of yesteryear are growing in number throughout the country and the Mackay region is no exception. She describes wicca as a nature based religion and says its followers believe the earth is the giver of life.
"Wicca is an ancient art - it basically means wisdom," says Julie-Anne by way of explanation. She says while there's no written evidence of when it first started, it goes back to the stone age where they have the first archaeological evidence of the worshipping of the goddess. "It's the wisdom of the arts which is the earth and the way that it works, the planets and the system of the way the trees are formed," she adds. Full Story
