Granted i am not smiling in my pics... but trying to be a vampire vegetarian and wearing dark eye shadow does not a pagan make. We are having a resurgence in neopaganism and wicca is fast growing. We can pride ourselves on being different, but lets try to be the light and show others the way. Being dark is an aspect of wicca and paganism, but put it in perspective and quit living up to stereotypes.
Also, some people on this site need to read. Read books by Isaac Bonewits about withcraft. It was never a religion until Gardner in the 1950's. be a proud pagan, but give the Twilight hollywood vampire crap a rest!! ttyl |

| Agreed! I am a Witch. It is NOT a religion but a way of life. In essence I don't have a religion. I merely practice being what I am. A vampire is not necessarily a Pagan. Just as Goth is not. Be aware and present yourself as you see yourself. That way I can avoid the dark side of all of you. Blessed Be. |

I agree. Stop giving the fundies ammunition. Better to be known as that group of people who's always happy and nice, reads a lot, and runs around outside all the time than those creepy goth kids in the corner, yes?
Also, you are not a vampire. You are not a were-anything. You were not fucking Rasputin or Vlad Tepes Dracul in a past life. You are merely a goth kid.
Yes, I accept mental shapeshifting, therians, and reincarnation, but most of you are just trying to seem more interesting, especially when you run about telling the entire world and wearing contacts and fangs. I have phantom wings, but you don't see me broadcasting that to people who aren't like-minded and won't accept it.
... sorry, I got a bit ranty.
Oh, while I'm at it, LEARN HOW TO SPELL!!! It's impossible to be pagan properly without learning and READING a billion and a half books on the subject. You'd think in this process you'd learn how to spell simple words that I've know since about 4th grade. |

| Thanks for the reply. The rant is fine. lol. I agree with you. So true. The problem is that Wicca is very attractive to a huge number of people. That is a good thing, but just as Ray Buckland has said, it is getting watered down. Thx. and ttyl. Be blessed. |

| This is funny I chastised a person for wearing white make-up who was selling witchcraft jewelry. I said witches are not clowns. We sometimes were ritual clothing for events or meetings, but were not all about goth. I prefer black, but it has nothing to do with goth. Its funny the gothic vampire look people usually have no clue about real witchcraft. |
