I too enjoy squelching the stupid. We seem to be of the same mind that age and inexperience is no excuse for a person being a total git. I could care less if someone is 10 or 100, if they're spouting off words like "I'm a native american celtic druid who like, totally is a witch!" then I'm going to step in and point out that they look like a fool.

And it may be just me but...does it piss anyone else off when a young "witch" starts talking about how you should "PM me cuz i kno liek tonnez of stuf i can teech u!" Like, they're such a supreme authority on everything, and they obviously know SO much more than the rest of us, who take it on ourselves to study our religion on our own. [And you just know half of them get all their "knowledge" from bad rumours/internet sites/"Wiccan Spell Books" from the library....sheesh..]

Shaoli: That's it, I'm going to glomp you now. *glomps* Fear the pink panties!

Oh, yes. I love it when people tell me they are the supreme and all-knowing Goddess of all things Pagan because they read Ravenwolf's "Teen Witch." I actually *have* read all of Ravenwolf's books and felt so dirty afterward I promptly sold them all on eBay. I may not like the teeny-witches, but I'm not above profiting off of them.

The stupid and resulting flame war that I caught the tail end of has given way to a striptease.....

This should be neat.

What can I say, I'm a hopeless necromantic!

What do you mean by this, pray tell? I know little about my 'religion', only that I do this and that happens...it's very instinctual for me.

Jesus. Is a necromantic someone who light candles and drinks wine with corpses...just wondering...

*has chills* XD

I lick erbil whitches can i bee juan?? i cane also speel reel gude

I hereby grant you the title of "Honorary erbil Witch"...not to be confused with "Honorary Gerbil Witch". [Cuz liek, im totally a high prestiess n all! my coven sayz im a naturel withc cuz this one time i liek totally made this guy look at mee!!11!!1!"]

I'm of the opinion that anyone who uses the words "Goddess", "Witch", or any form/variation of a God's/Goddesses's name is automatically a wannabe teeny-witch. <i>UNLESS</i> they're doing it as a joke. [Like..."Goddess of Chocolate".] The problem starts when they use that name for EVERYTHING...like...signing schoolwork..

lol, we should all join Shem's guild for teeny witches XD

I'm not even sure if i'm necromantic. I work directly with energy. I've been told it's necromancy. It's really a no-frills religion, all you need is the ability to 'see' energy and spirit, and to know how to shape and reshape and form them to wht you need--a sharp knife (Athame, to borrow the Wiccan word) or a wand is useful to help with the visualization part, but most of it is will against whatever.

HA! Good Lord, they DO make you feel dirty, don't they. I had Teen Witch, and even as a 13 year old newb to the whole idea, I felt like it was wrong somehow. Any book that contains "spells to clear your skin, attract a boyfriend, and clean out your locker!" deserves to be burned.

Maybe I'm a little close-minded, but the second someone says "I'm a Wiccan!", I write them off until they can prove to me they're not a wannabe or a flake. I'm sure there <i>are</i> Wiccans out there who study their religion and understand where it fits in the Pagan "world", but seriously fricking everyone I've met who claims to be Wiccan is a total pyscho. IF they're lucky, they grow out of it and either continue on their studies with Wicca, or branch off to a more traditional path and study that. I generally think of Wicca as a "Starter religion".

Aaaaah! I haven't been making spelling mistakes, have I? I'm really paranoid about that, but I'm also half-blind and in a pitch-black room.

Chiharu: Oh there IS a Goddess of Boots...she's just forsaken anyone with size 7 feet xd She's the reason I can't have nice shoes!

I need to invent the God/dess of Smiting Stupid Annoying N00bs.

Oh, you forgot the spell about how to get the man of your dreams to call you. I actually remember how to work that one, if you want an example of the stupidity. You were supposed to draw a butterfly or a bird on a sheet of paper, then write the guy's name below it. After the paper was complete, you were to say a prayer (some cheezy rendition of "Dear Goddess, please make this guy, like, totally call me!" wink and place the paper under your phone. The end.

At first I had genuine respect for Ravenwolf. Her past is nearly identical to mine, and at the time I hadn't read her books. *shudder* Now I have, and have since amended my position on her.

I honestly feel the same as you about people who say they're wiccan. I label myself "Pagan" because I don't fit into any particular sect of the Pagan religion, and don't feel the need to define myself further for complete strangers. If they want to know more, I'm more than willing to share. If not, why the ******** bother? I'm sure there are plenty of true Wiccans who follow the Rede, worship the God and Goddess and are completely true to their religion. Props to them. Unfortunately all the high schoolers in black fishnets and chains wearing upside-down pentagrams proclaiming themselves "Wiccan" while listening to Godsmack and Slipknot ******** it up for 'em.

I generally laugh and walk away. But seriously, it's definetely an odd combination. I do not believe in mashing religious beliefs together and keeping both titles. If someone says they're eclectic with Celtic and Wiccan beliefs, I can understand that. But most people have never truly studied the Celtic beliefs...that being said, if the person saying it is 15 or under...then I go back to my "laughing and walking away".
