Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think that is why most prefer wiccan.

Awww, but those are my favorite kind of witches. sad

(off topic: I like Hocus-pocus, it is a funny movie.) biggrin

I'm a witch and a wiccan, so I really don't mind either.

if one is afraid of calling themselves a witch because they are afraid of the crazy looks they might get weether the are a witch and not wiccan or they are both, by not calling your self a witch when you are you are in denial, plus you care too much about what other people might think so you arent actually a witch because you arent willing to give it your complete all. i say that because you still hold on to that little factor that people might descriminate you for what you say you are.so there is still that little doubt in the back of your mind saying are we sure this is what we want to do maybe we should try this over here instead.

that is true but i was just telling those who are afraid of being called a witch, like some who are born witches and dont want to be so the try to hide it and fight it... that is if that makes any sinse at all

yeah I have had to write notes to my english teacher because he uses the word pagan and witch a lot in negitive ways that could be taken quite offensive. I mean he does not mean anything by and he does reword thing, but sometimes he forgets. There was an other time when he was trying to make a point about of religion in the modern world was dying. So he said every one who goes to church raise your hand. And he was like look there are the only people that are religious in the class. As you call all imagine my jaw hit the ground and I was like "I am very religious, but I do not go to church because I do not belong to a religion that require that of me, that is not a good way to measure weather some one is religious or not." so again he was like, "ok, every one who attends church every week raise your hand" I did not raise my hand, and he was like "didn't you just stay you were very devote to your religion?" that is about when I put my face in my hands and took a deep breath, and explained to him that not all religions require people to go to church, eventually he understood.

I have not had a major problem with explaining wicca to anyone lately. There have been times when people have been confused or refused to listen to what I had to say though. I understand what you were trying to say ealier too MrsBHavin.
