WITA:
The study and practice of the religion of the Picts, the pre-Celtic inhabitants of northern Scotland. Pecti-Wita is
concerned with all aspects of prosperity, growth, abundance, creativity, and healing, and honors the Celtic Dieties.
The main tools in Pecti-Wita are the Staff and the Athame or Dirk. Pecti-Witans use a "Keek-Stane" which is, in effect,
a scrying stone or the equivalent of a crystal ball. Also known as Pecti-Wita, Pictish Witchcraft. An eclectic Irish path
which keeps very old Irish traditions and combines them with the influences of the Norse. Witta values Irish Pagan history
and recognizes that at each stage in its development, over many centuries, each generation has been able to add something
of value. Until recent times Wittan covens were characterized by strict stratification and one-on-one teaching for its apprentices.
Today most Wittan covens operate on a consensus basis and will accept self-initiation and the solitary life as valid. It is
very similar to the Scottish Pecti-Wita which is evolved from Pictish, rather than Irish, tradition. Also known as Witta.
