Normal, thats a good one, never have met a normal person I don't think. I'm certainly not going to claim it!

Good morning! How is everyone today? I slept like a baby.

cute cat! does it have 8 lives left?

She has all of her lives left. She's a big scaredy cat and never takes chances.

HALLOWEEN

A gentle breeze rustling the dry cornstalks.
A sound is heard, a goblin walks.
A harvest moon suffers a black cat's cry.
Oh' do the witches fly!
Bonfire catches a pumpkins gleem.
Rejoice, it's Halloween!

WELL, The last post of your poem was the 666th - how does it feel to be the anti-christ?

Really? Wow. You know honestly I don't feel any different. :)

what spell can I put on my ex to make him hurry his ass up and sign the divorce papers?

Can someone explain to me what (if any) difference there is between a wiccan and a pagan?

Why don't you ask me this stuff?

Wicca was a resergence of Paganism brought to the US by Gerald Gardener in the 50's.(Gardinarian Paganism) Pagan is a blanket term which in latin means "country dweller" but is used to describe any religion that honors more than one God/ess.

Wiccans are Pagan but Pagans aren't necessarily Wiccan.

I believe I just did!

I knew what a pagan is in the sense that it is used to describe any religion that honors more than one God/ess but never really knew what a Wiccan was. Thanks for explaining!

Yep....kind of like all Baptists are Christians but not all Christians are Baptists.

Thanks for dumbing it down for me

Raymond Buckland lives in Ohio and he is credited for bringing it over here also, I have met him on several occasions. The last was at PSG in southern Ohio he however was more interested in watching the topless women dance around the fire then speaking to his fans....

He's only human....

Ok, first question: What is the difference between "Wicca" and "Witchcraft"? As best I can gather, "Wicca" is the "philosophy" whereas "Witchcraft" is the "practice"? Am I even close?

Wicca is a form of Paganism which may or maynot include witchcraft.

Witchcraft is a outdated term meaning "to use magick" which really just means praying.

When refering to magick in the sense of witchcraft you include the K on the end of the word. Magic is what David Copperfield does.

In my personal experience and in meeting practicing Wiccans they all just happened to also be involved with Witchcraft so I think it is very common for people to intermingle the two but its not a requirement by any stretch. You do what you want. You also dont HAVE to join a coven. A lot of people enjoy that aspect of unity or they feel it enhances ritual but there are many solitary practitioners of both Wicca and the Craft.

In my opinion (for whatever that's worth) I do not think of magick as praying. Not that praying isn't an effective way to bring about needed change because it can be. But, when I prayed I felt powerless and would appeal to the mercy of God (or whoever you are praying to) to change the situation. Magick calls upon your own personal power....the power of the mind to change something. I use strong visualisation along with enhancing the power through the use of the earth's natural energies via herbs, crystals, fire, etc. You can perform magick with or without a petition to any particular deity.
