Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In 2005 a judge in Indiana ruled that a couple going through divorce could not do what?

Answer: teach or even speak about Wicca with their child

Judge Cale Bradford of the Marion Superior Court ruled that Thomas Jones and Tammie Bristol, both practicing Wiccans going through divorce, could not teach or even speak to their child about Wicca. In August of 2005 a state appeals court ruled in a unanimous decision to uphold a parents' right to share his or her religion with their child. Judge Bradford then said, "This case was never about freedom of religion, I support freedom of religion, and not just mine, either. That includes the Wiccans. I have nothing against the Wiccans of the world, I wish them all the best." In an Indianapolis newspaper Bradford was quoted as saying he gave the case a brief review before approving it last year, indicating there were initial concerns that some of the Wiccan rituals may have endangered the boy's health. Later, after a more thorough review of the court record, he discovered that wasn't the case.

2. Which of these is not a ritual?

Answer: Bappaling

Wiccaning welcomes a new born infant into the family. Initiation is a dedication into the craft. Handfasting is when two souls are joined together in love.

3. Why is U.S. Army pamphlet 165-13 important to Wiccans?

Answer: It recognizes Wicca as a religion

Army pamphlet 165-13 "Religious Requirements and Practices of certain selected groups- A handbook for Chaplains", states that the Army does recognize Wicca as a religion.

4. What happened to the people who confessed to practicing witchcraft during the Salem witchcraft trials?

Answer: they were released from jail

Abigail and Deliverance Hobbs, along with Tituba, confessed to being witches. All three survived and were released from jail.

5. What is the difference between an Esbat and a Sabbat?

Answer: Esbats focus more on the goddess (moon) and Sabbats on the god (sun)

There are thirteen full moon Esbats a year and eight solar Sabbats a year (Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh, and Mabon).

6. The pentagram shape is associated with the path of which planet, as seen from Earth?

Answer: Venus

A pentagram is an unbroken five pointed star representing Earth, Air, Fire, Water and the Spirit. The pentagram shape comes from the path that the planet Venus makes across the night sky.

7. What are the four Watchtowers?

Answer: All of these

A witch will normally call upon the four "quarters" or "Watchtowers" when performing a ritual. They watch over and protect the circle. They are East (Air), South (Fire), West (Water), North (Earth)

8. I have a friend who has a cold. I am going to make some soothing tea for his sore throat. Which tool should I use to cut herbs from my garden for this tea?

Answer: boline

I would use a boline. This is a white handled knife that most Wiccans use to cut herbs. I would never use my athame. It is usually a black handled knife used only for rituals. Don't forget when taking an herb from the garden to leave an offering.

9. While doing a ritual your pet walks into the circle. What is the appropriate way for your pet to leave the circle?

Answer: by itself, animals may come and go in a circle anytime.

Animals and small children are allowed to come and go in the circle. If an adult needs to leave you should cut a doorway in the circle.

10. Complete this phrase, "merry ______, merry________,merry ________."

Answer: meet, part, meet again

Usually when a Wiccan gathering ends this is said by the High Priest or Priestess. So on that note, merry meet, merry part, merry meet again.
