Okay, so I'm new to this site and I really, honestly and truly, and not saying this to upset anyone so I'd firstly like to appologise in advance in case anyone is offened by what I have to say.
I have been practising the craft in one form or another for nearly nine years, as well as running a site for young people interested in the various Pagan/Wiccan philosophies, and just occationally things pop up that worry me. For example kids thinking that there are spells which can make you fly on broomsticks, or a spell that I found on this very website to change your gender! The sad fact of the matter is that there are people out there who believe this is truly possible. Now I can tell you it is not.
Really, putting on a wig and some face powder and saying turn me into a pretty girl or whatever will NOT make a boy's physiology become that of a female.
So the fact that I find places where people are putting up things like this unchecked is mildly terrifying.
Does this not shock and appal anyone else?
Yes, I agree. Some people, especialy the young kids and teens, are missing the point about what magic and witchcraft is all about. They watch too much television. Most of the people, again the young ones, becomes interested in magic after watching and reading stories like Harry Potter, no offense, I also enjoyed the books and movies. But being a witch isn't about flying on brooms or turning into a cat or making objects fly around the room, it is a way of life. It is about being one with nature. Sure the one thing that stories and real life magic have in common is making potions and doing spells, but even this is different from what we see in movies. You can't point your wand at someone and say something like 'expeliames' and then there is this red flash and the person gets flinged across the room. Sure when doing spells there is energy building up, but there is not all sorts of flashes and sparks and whatever. Some people are really missing the point, and it is sad. Many of the christians immediately say things like 'you are doomed to hell' when you tell them that you are a witch. They are also missing the point. I don't even believe in hell or the so called devil/satan. The other religions and the witches NEVER insults or judge others about their religion, only the christians. They think because it is the largest religion there is that they can say and do what they want. I am insulted every day by family for being a witch and I'm always doomed the the so called hell. Lol! But it is all sad. Greetings BL.
I totally agree with you Sky Wolf. I'm almost 14 but I came here because I want to learn. I mean, I watch Harry Potter sometimes and Twilight, but I know those spells are impossible. It also upsets me that people come here for role-play, it just makes me irritated.
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... i find that REALLY offensive i am an upper teen and i dont believe that crud, and i am christian and i dont say your doomed to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry if I offended you. I said that many of the christians is like that and also many of the teens. I know that there are some who is not like that. I didn't ment all of them is like that.
You all are missing the point, teens and kids have my full support. They want to learn but you can't take their imagination from them and blame them for those kind of spells. We should blame all those clumsy people who are in "spellcasters" coven we all know that they can write all kinds of cr** in their spellbook.
They are one who should be called kids,including admin himself!
