"Witchcraft can share ideas and practices from many religions and cultures around the world.  That doesn't necessarily mean that Witches took the ideas from other cultures, just that we all seem to have found our way to the same place.  Take a class or read a book on comparative religion sometime.  You'll be surprised at how many ideas we all share."
