Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. According to the Wiccan Credo, which type of wood should never be burnt?

Answer: Elder

"Elder be the lady's tree/ Burn it not or cursed you'll be".

2. Which of these holidays marks the end of the lighter part of the year?

Answer: Samhain

Samhain is when the Horned God dies to be reborn again at Yule. Many scholars think that it began the year in the ancient Celtic tradition.

3. Dion Fortune is often considered the mother of modern witchcraft, and wrote many books about the occult. But what was her family motto?

Answer: Deo non fortuna

Deo non fortuna means "by God, not chance".

"Nihil curo de ista tua stultra superstitone" means "I'm not interested in your religious cult". "Vescere bracis meis" means "eat my shorts" and "raptus regaliter" means "royally screwed."

Moral: it pays to learn Latin.

4. Aleister Crowley wrote The Book Of Law/Liber Legis in a space of how long?

Answer: Three days

He claims he was told to do this by his wife, Rose, who was channeling a messenger of Horus, the Egyptian god of knowledge. He wrote it over three days, beginning at midday and ending at 1 PM.

5. In the tarot, what are the possible meanings for the Six of Coins?

Answer: Charity, generosity, compassion.

Usually the Six of Coins represents success and giving.

6. Which of these is a line from the Descent Of The Goddess by Gerald Gardner?

Answer: "It is fate, better so."

The goddess says "It is fate, better so." when she realises for the first time that she's in love with the god of the underworld. "I am the web of life" is from the Charge Of The Dark Goddess, and "An' it harm none, do as ye will" is the Wiccan rede.

7. In Ancient Greece, oaths sworn to which goddess were considered most binding?

Answer: Gaia

Gaia is still one of the most worshipped neo-Pagan goddesses. She's most famous as the embodiment of Earth, but she's also the goddess of dreams, motherhood and nature. Her totem animals include bees and snakes, and her sacred fruit is an apple or pomegranate.

8. Who wrote the Wiccan Credo?

Answer: Gwen Thompson

Gwen Thompson claimed to have been taught the poem as a child by her grandmother, Adrina Porter. People often confuse this with Doreen Valiente's Witches Creed.

9. Which sabbat name comes from two Gallic words meaning "ewe's milk"?

Answer: Imbolc

The day is also Brigit's festival, Groundhog Day, and the Catholic feast day of the Purification Of The Vigin/Candlemass. It is usually celebrated on the first or second of February, or when the first signs of spring start to appear.

10. Which Nevadan was the first US army veteran to be allowed a pentacle on his memorial stone?

Answer: Patrick Stewart

His widow, Roberta Stewart, and many other Wiccans petitioned and campaigned to get the pentacle officially recognised.
