I'd only change one thing, personally:


To be a witch is to harm none.

For me, to be a witch is to minimize harm, but not to shy from it when the course is unavoidable.

**Smiles** I'm a military Pagan, so I view harm as being unavoidable in some circumstances, such as defence of one's family or friends or the Constitution.

Other than that. . . I like it!

Is "harm" really the right word, though? I understand what you mean and agree with you to a point, but I'm not sure that protection and self-defense actually constitute "harm" in the typical definition of the word.
