The first child was a female and had powers like her mother, though not as strong, and it was from this child that almost all witches descend from. Once back on Earth, the woman gave birth to a pair of twins that were conceived while she was in the Higher Realm. The woman and man were forced to abandon the Higher Realm, never to return again. The only way to save the world was for the woman and her mate to separate their powers and allow the power of The All to flow freely again. However, their presence there affected the earth as The All was contained to the Higher Realm. They ascended to a place of pure, utter bliss that they shared with the All, known as the Higher Realm. It bonded them forever to one another and to The All. The woman shared that power with her mate and it changed them, making them immortal. The woman was infused with more of the All than any human was supposed to possess. At first they were afraid of it, but she pushed past that fear and tapped into this power. She alerted her mate of what she had found. Thousands of years ago, a woman came across that Nexus. When the world was dark, a spiritual energy ran through everything that existed, neither Good nor Evil. Witches must decide within the first forty-eight hours of their powers awakening if they will travel the path of good or evil. They live by the rule that they are not to use their magic for personal gain. In addition to their active powers, Witches can also cast spells and create potions to amplify their magic. Often, their supernatural abilities are exhibited in early childhood, though it is not unusual for a person to grow into adulthood before her or his capabilities are realized. Traditionally, Witches are born with a primary active power, such as telekinesis, but their powers grow as they age. Witches, like mortals, can be either good or evil, but only the good witches serve as protectors of the Innocent. Appendices Book of Shadows Wiccan Rede: An it harm none, do what ye will.
