Change the Definition of Witch

To:  Dictionary.com

To Dictionary.com:

Your definitions of the word 'witch' and 'witchcraft' are outdated, inaccurate and misogynistic. You are promoting hatred and intolerance towards a group in society that has been continually persecuted for hundreds of years.

Witchcraft is the practice of magick, the use of natural energies within ourselves and the world around us to create change. This is spelled with a 'k' to differentiate it from stage magic.

We are not evil, ugly or wicked.

I am writing to request that you alter your definition to respect the thousands, perhaps millions, of people who practice this personal spirituality.

To keep your current definitions would be an act of outright bigotry.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
