Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the word for an object, usually a small stone or other item, which is inscribed with magickal symbols?

Answer: Amulet

Definitions of the other choices: 'anathema' is a sorcerer's curse; 'angelica' is a mystical plant; and 'anjara' is a supernatural type of Hispanic witch. By the way, "magickal" is an alternate spelling to differentiate it from "magical" (witchcraft as opposed to magic tricks).

2. What is an ancient Egyptian symbol for life and knowledge?

Answer: Ankh

Definitions for the other words: 'angakok' is a Central Eskimo medicine man; 'an-shet' is a witch's magickal wand; and 'aziza' is an elf-like forest spirit.

3. What is a ritual to remove negative evil influences?

Answer: Banishing

Definitions for the other words: 'balefire' is a sacred outdoor fire burned by witches; 'bewitchment' is gaining power or casting a spell over someone; and 'bilocation' is the supernatural ability of a person and his or her astral double to appear in two different places.

4. What is an individual witch's collection of magickal spells and potions?

Answer: Book of Shadows

Definitions for the other words: 'bulla' is a round, hollow inscribed object filled with magickal substances; 'burin' is a witch's engraving tool; and 'bolline' is a witch's white-handled knife.

5. What is the name for an individual who is not a follower of Wicca or any other pagan spirituality?

Answer: Cowan

Definitions for the other words: 'coven' is a group of witches; 'chaldean' is a 17th century term for a magician; and 'copal' is a sacred incense.

6. What is the practice of discovering the unknown or foretelling the events of the future using various methods?

Answer: Divination

Definitions for the other words: 'deosil' is a clockwise motion; 'doppelganger' is a human double, astral body or ghost resembling a living person; and 'drawing down' is a ritual invocation.

7. What is another word for a witch's pet?

Answer: Familiar

The familiar can also be a conduit through which the witch channels their power.

8. Which is a symbol representing the elements of earth, air, fire, and water, surmounted (topped) by the spirit?

Answer: pentagram

Oriented so that there is a point on top, the pentagram represents the four elements surmounted by the spirit, and is considered a 'good' symbol of power. An inverted pentagram has come to be associated with some forms of Satanism, so some Wiccans prefer to refer to the upright pentagram as a pentacle. Pentacle is actually a more general term referring to a physical amulet, often in the shape of a pentagram inside a circle.

Definitions for the other words: 'philtre' is an herbal aphrodisiac; 'pooka' is an Irish hobgoblin; and 'prana' is a healing energy.

9. What is another word for letters of a secret magickal alphabet?

Answer: Runes

There are three main types: Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and Scandinavian.

10. What is the Celtic name for Halloween?

Answer: Samhain

Definitions for the other words: 'sabbat' is a gathering of witches, wiccans and neo-pagans to honor the gods; 'sephirot' is a term from the Jewish Kabbalah; and 'strix' is a term used in the Middle Ages for a sorceress or witch.
