"In the very distant past, wise people and people who did sorcery were not always called “witches”. Whatever ancient meaning the word “witch” may have had, it has been befouled by the meanings now attached to it: a harmful worker of fell magic who serves the powers of darkness.

Originally, we were simply called the People, or the Wise. More ancient names for us have been lost to memory. We use the term “witch” now sometimes out of defiance, and sometimes out of a tounge-in-cheek sense of familiarity. For us, the meaning of the word “witch” will always be different than it’s meaning for the passion-bodies down in the church. For us, it will always refer to one who follows a path through life that trusts the Land and the older way of looking at things.

Though in these days, we still tend to call ourselves "Crafters", or “The People”, or maybe the “Green Coats” or the “Green Gowns”, depending on if one is a man or woman."
