    Hello, Im a Witch

    I always find it strange when people make a distinction between 'Witch' and 'Wiccan'. The vast majority of Wiccans consider the two terms one in the same. As a matter of fact, some of the people who are considered fathers of modern witchcraft (Raymond Buckland and friends) think that Witch...

    3 books I just bought

    Check out Wicca for One: The Path of Solitary Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland. Many of his books are good.

    How do you feel about outside observers?

    I don't treat my rites as if I was making love with someone. I don't see them as so 'deeply personal'. How I myself would feel about observers was never the issue. But everything went great, and I would do it again for anybody else I loved. I would have no reason to have anyone watch my typical...

    Getting Started again, in Iraq

    My advice is this: mold Wicca to fit your lifestyle. Take the teachings of Wicca, and then do what you can, and want to do. Wicca is one of the most versatile religions, in that it can be as complex, or uncomplex as you want it to be. Such as the fact that you don't really need tools, but they...

    List your bookshelf!

    It would be better to keep the books listed Wicca related. This purpose of the thread is to help those interested in Wicca, or Wiccans interested in learning more about Wicca, find books relative to their interests. Non-Wiccan but Paganism related books are fine as well, but it would be a good...

    How do you feel about people who have left your faith?

    If somebody joins Wicca, and then leaves Wicca, it means they discovered that Wicca was not their path, and have moved on in their journey to find their path to spiritual enlightenment. They are just as equal as the rest of the world in our eyes.

    Seriously "going to hell"

    I know no one like this.

    Afterlife of the non-believer in your faith

    In Wicca, non-believers and believers go to the same place. There is absolutely no difference in what happens to people who aren't Wiccan. Wiccans generally believe that there is an afterlife called the Summerland that we visit in between reincarnations. There is no punishment area. We believe...

    Jesus is not from Earth

    My mind is blown. /sarcasm

    The most ANNOYING misconception about YOUR faith?

    It doesn't change the fact that Wiccans do not believe in any entity called 'Satan', the devil, or any all evil deity, regardless of yours, or anyone's beliefs. One thing I always find the need to mention, is that Atheists and Wiccans, and other non-Christian religions don't have a concept of...

    does god talk to you?

    God isn't going to come down and speak to you. Any 'speaking' done would be done through symbolism. If you're hearing voices, it isn't God.

    Should "god" be removed from the pledge of allegiance and currency?

    I don't think it's a big deal, but it should be slowly removed from everything.

    Opinions on Spanking

    I think there are certain things that a child can do that would deserve a good spanking. However, for simple things, another form of punishment should be used. Pain should only be associated to the most severe punishment, and the hardest one to earn.

    Happy Lammas

    What is Your Religious Affiliation 2

    I voted Pagan, for Wicca. I'll probably also be a Unitarian Universalist as well, once I understand it better than I do now.

    The most ANNOYING misconception about YOUR faith?

    The most annoying misconception in my book, does not come from outsiders. The most annoying misconception that Wiccans tend to have about Wicca is that the Goddess is more important than the God, or that the God is worthless enough to completely be forgotten. Now, I understand there are...

    To All Who Pray: Do you make Requests in Your Prayers?

    Are you interested in what Wiccans do? As a Witch, I pray to the Lord and Lady and occasionally ask for things that I need.

    Requesting Possible Answers from Christians

    If you have to force yourself to believe, Christianity probably isn't the right path for you.

    For what religion is actually for?

    Dogs as intelligent as two-year-old children - Telegraph "They [dogs] can also deliberately deceive, which is something that young children only start developing later in their life." Do you have a source stating otherwise? If you do, I'd like to see it. I'm quite interested! :)

    For what religion is actually for?

    You're right. Dogs were recently proven to have the intelligence of the average 2 year old, if I remember correctly. They also have the ability to purposefully deceive, something 2 year old's are not capable of.
