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.

yep, it's great.

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

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."

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,...

Yes, I have often wished I had not named it Wicca. I did that because I thought it would be recognizable without being offensive. 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.

It is strange for us to hang out in a thread called Wicca when none of are Wiccan.

Okay, so is everyone ready to move?

Of course I am, can't speak for others though.

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

What about Gloria Jean then?

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

I guess if you're not here right now then we just make the decision without you?

OK PEOPLE - LISTEN UP!

Just for the sake of changing the title of the thread, we've have move to the following thread:

Thank You.

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.

Yes, none of us like the title as it does not describe us at all. should we start another thread?

Yup, a different, more fitting title, if possible.

Your too late, it's already started.

It's called "Witchcraft and Shamanism"

But you can always start a thread on paganism too.
