*Welcome to the Wonderful World of Witchcraft and Shamanism* Welcome to the Witch's world where magick wands of often twirled and spells are cast and circles hurled and dreams of love become unfurled The Witch's art is quite the craft in spite of those who think it's daft though Witch's suffered in their wrath they've survived the aftermath The Witch's way is quite alive in modern times it's been revived so don't ignore or be deprived of ancient wisdom that's survived Don't be fooled by pious creeds self-righteous fools who plant their seeds for evil lurks within their deeds and all they sow are bigot weeds So join our thread of loving ways and add your fervor to the blaze post your thoughts for days and days to give the Goddess all you praise

Wow, I can't believe how long this thread has gone on for.

James, do you want to post the other part of your introduction?

Did you notice Spidey's post in Sharp's thread? Even he admitted it should have been in the Christian forum. Spider gets on my nerves but in all fairness he's one of the brighter ones. He is well aware that the Christians have their own forum and he can clearly distinguish between the appropriateness of a topic that is debate oriented and one that is just praising one religion or God to the exclusion of all others.

We only have about 5 mainstay members so far, but all seeds must sprout from small beginnings. We probably should have named the thread "Witchcraft and Shamanism" instead of "Wiccans", since none of us are actaully Wiccans anywhat really. Even our logo says, "Wiccan Wonder". Although in truth, people do tend to use the word "Wicca" to refer to witchcraft in general, and there can even be arguments given that the word existed long before Gardner used it as a label for his version of a "religion". ~~~ "Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there." ~~~

James, do you want to post the other part of your introduction? Sure, I can do that. The reason I didn't is because we haven't actaully been discussing those topics much lately. Let me see if I can find it,...

There was nothing like this when I got here and I was a tad apprehensive of coming out of the closet. I guess we could start all over with a thread titled more appropriately? I wouldn't mind.

Perhaps that would be a better idea. Because most of us are neither here nor there, so to speak.

Okay, so is everyone ready to move?

I will wait to hear from James and Krimsa. Jill doesn't get a vote since she's not here.

Im sorry what was the question? Should we abandon this thread and start another in "Other Religion"? Was that it?

Im okay with that but maybe entitle it "Paganism" That is open and will be all inclusive to anything outside of Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
