Pretty much parroting above...

The world does not cater to your religion, or any religion. Just because something is called a "witch" does not automatically mean it has anything to do with Wicca. Much like how just because something is called a priest does not make it associated with the Catholic Church or something is called a Monk does not make it tied to Buddhism.

In fact, as many above have stated, Wicca is a fairly new thing that looks NOTHING like how the traditional views see it and, in fact, has little to do with magic as it is applied to Pathfinder.

While we're on the subject, any ideas on making a Golden Dawn Wizard? It didn't cross my mind until just now and I'm actually unsure as to where to start with that theme.

You can start in a whole variety of paths, which can be used simultaneously with different characters. The main common thread would be the background.

They would be well-to-do, urbane members of society, erudite and learned. They would pick up skills such as Knowledge Arcana, Knowledge Planes, and certain other flavors.

They would be heavily into divination.

If this sounds like that a Golden Dawn cabal could include a Divination Wizard, a Planar Oracle, and Enlightened Philosopher, a Celestial (or Infernal ) Sorcerer, and a Deminsional Occultist or Circle Warden Witch, you're right.

Falantrius, it is probably in your best interests to skim through these posts, copy and paste to a file all the constructive advice you've been given, save it, and HIDE this thread from here on out. Make sure you save the names of those with constructive advice so you can PM them later if you have further questions about their suggestions.

The majority of posts you'll get at this point are going to be regurgitations of the same material offered, either in the form of constructive advice or people trying to showboat how knowledgable they think they are regarding your religion, how foolish you are for your ideas, incomprehensible responses harping on the same thing you've already addressed/apologized for, or other similar responses and/or wastes of space.

Hiding the thread will save you a lot of typing and headaches over the course of the next 300 or so posts which will all say the same thing.

This thread really should be locked at this point.

A side note? That is good advice for almost every thread on the forums. Things get circular after a while. Best wishes and good gaming.

Not sure if it has been adressed in the thread yet, but the Witch class is not restricted to females. No class (aside from a few prestige classes perhaps) is restricted to any gender.
However, a few of the magic items designed for the class require you to crossdress if you want to make use of them as a male witch.

we wear blouses in the army and the male corset is not a weird or new thing.

My daughter and friends wanted to play a Witch and was looking over the class in PathFinder and was totally freaked out. We have Wicca friends and the depiction is totally negative in the way the Warlock and Witch are put together in our opinion.

You seem to be assuming modern day Wicca has some sort of monopoly on the words and concepts of Witchcraft, and that a Witch portrayed in fantasy is naturally meant to emulate Wicca, rather than emulating historical folklore. This is a very incorrect assumption, and a curious one, especially considering that the majority of currently practicing Witches in the real world are not Wiccans.
