Thinking about leaving

Im really considering leaving spellsofmagic. I have found that most people here are no better than the closed minded people who follow the judeo-christian path. I have found literally one person on here that truly knows what they are talking about. Otherwise, this site is full of either die-hards who are not willing to except new things and ideas or the teens who wish to do nothing but gain fatasy power you wont find anywhere but in hollywood. I am greatly dissapointed in most of you here. I will be here for at least another week. I hope i stumble across more of you that may change my mind.

Noooo! Don't leave!

Who am I kidding? I understand completely. There are only a handful of people here that I keep coming back here to speak to.

Truly I don't want you to leave, but there is no way I can stop you...or is there?

Think of it this way. If everyone knowledgeable leaves, no one knowledgeable will be drawn to this site and it will continue to sink lower and lower, filling more inexperienced minds with garbage! The more we post and have actual intellectual, factual conversations, the more likely it is that others we can relate to will find interest and join in. Or the inexperienced will become knowledgeable themselves! I always say, if only one single person reads something I write and takes from it a bit of knowledge, it was worth the time.

But then again, you may want to expand your own mind and not just expand other's. I have the same thoughts.

I'm personally giving the website another month or so, and I'll decide from there if the level of communication has raised. You're always going to get the newbie dabbler that reads too much Harry Potter and watches Twilight. But a good forum has a solid foundation of frequent posters who have quality knowledge that can be debated without animosity. This place needs some work, but there are a few flowers among the weeds that may be enough to turn the board around. We will see...

So think about it and decide whether or not you want to be a factor in banishing the ignorance of the board, stirring up some good conversation, and imparting wisdom/knowledge. There are many newbies here who just need a good push in the right direction. And there are even more here that lurk (you know who you are, sitting there reading this now, and not planning to post!) But they may post if there is something worth posting about.

I do hope you stay.

I sympathise! I'm also getting a bit fed up with the site. I suppose I am one of the "diehards",but I do keep up with modern ideas.Even though many of the "modern" beliefs have very little to do with magic. Magic is magic, just as it always was. Only the "beliefs" have changed. I may be old,but I am well aware that a modern car is somewhat of an improvement on a Model T Ford!

Though im very, very new to this site, would hate to see you go. We need more people who understand what Magic is xP But ranting aside, it's still one of the more popular sites ive found.

Anyway, whatever your decision best of luck to you out there.

I am sort of new but I do not role play or anything like that. I very much do understand what true magick is. I have been reading tons of books on the subject of Witchcraft and I have been talking to many experienced Wiccan,Witch,and Pagans who know what theyre talking about. Please I would hate to see you leave we truley do need more experienced Witches who know what theyre talking about to help the inexperienced roleplaying newbies.

i understand where your coming from but there are people here who think the same way dont leave it wont do much good

Please dOnt leave. This is the only resource I have on magic. And teachings and teachers. If all the real people go then I will have no where to get info. I'm stuck in the broom closet. I have one friend but she does energy workings nor spells. I know some stuff but not as much as I would like. I wish that some people that put down this site would leave along with the fakes. But I'm one of the reals on this site. And idk if I could help people on this site.

If I reply to a post that WhiteRav3n has posted in, but didn't start does that make me a fanboi? :P (hahaha...) Well, I personally believe that we need all minds and paths here. If not only to try to help them form their own descisions then to have them give us that one question that makes us do our own searching....

I truly do appreciate the support and it will play a part in whether i stay or go. It does brighten my day to see those i consider brilliant telling me i should stay. It also brightens my day to see those who are so new to the craft asking for help instead of feeding the roleplaying. All of your kindness gives me great joy.

This may sound a bit selfish but, if everyone knowledgable leaves I won't have another place to learn the craft where I can get on whenever I want and won't be kicked off for not following a specific time schedule.
