...Um...

Yes, perhaps many of them do come here to learn. But do they come for the right reasons? I think many young people get into wicca with high expectations only to discover that it isn't anything like what they see on tv. I also think that many of them get involved in wicca to get revenge on those who hurt them in some way or another. I've read many stories where this was the case.

Yes I agree with you BlackLeopard. I see far too many uneducated (in magick) people here seeking very petty revenge and just being plain silly. They come here to conjure demons and whatnot; I've seen a few posts asking for death spells, even. They come here for Hollywood glamour and get upset when their 'blow up the world' spell didn't work. It's all just so petty. I feel that a lot of people show up here seeking some sort of glory, wanting to jump right into higher magick because REAL, basic magick is not interesting enough. Every other newb seems to be some Vampire Lord of the Draconic-Satan-Lychan Death and Doom Federation. :/

What bothers me the most is people trying to do magick for things much more easily solved without it! Wanting to change gender, hair color, murder, etc.

Just because the harm you do to others is through magick does not mean you get off unpunished or unnoticed. Karma exists... and here's a news flash: You are not the biggest, baddest thing in the woods. You reap what you sew and what you allow to happen to others you allow to happen to yourself.
