I believe in things like demons, but not god, so I`m not Christian. I believe in the Triple Goddess and in free will. I believe that people need to work to accept one another more. I believe in spells, potions, some "mystical" creatures and supernatural powers/abilities. I DO NOT believe in Satan and I oppose all evil.
Its definately different, but what makes it such a problem for people to except?

Red Eye Agnostic: They took some practice, but I did get them to work. And that`s percisely what I`m talking about. Maybe you are like that with all religions, I`m not sure. I find it very ignorant to dismiss anything completely. The Big Bang Theory created things that are too complex. It couldn`t have all been random.

Ancient prejudices. Their scriptures condemn witches and witchcraft.

I know aspergers very well and see it as a developmental step of advanced thinking and not something 'wrong' either. Regarding witchcraft you have to understand the viewpoint of those writing about it. They wanted to put their opinion across as the "good option" and therefore had to produce a "bad option" to justify it. It was not just witchcraft that was demonised - it was EVERY other religion that was NOT Christianity. Many times people were given the choice - follow Christ - or die! I could say the organised church established themselves firmly between people and God, and while you were encouraged to pray directly, you seemed to now need an initerpreter to understand how to live your life. Going to church (and paying) was seen as the right thing, and not going to church (not paying) was seen as a bad thing and you were often made to feel guilty about it. Bibles were most commonly written in Latin - which none of the common people spoke, so again you needed an interpreter to tell you what to do. The idea of communicating directly with God without the use of the church was demonised to the point of death for being a Heretic. There was no "I'll worship by doing this" Thus - it was the churches way or no way. Even then they came to blows. In AD500 the Church of Nicea (governed by Emperoor Constantine) had such squabbles about conflicting testimonies in the bible - that quite a lot were edited out and burned! What was left was then universally accepted. So the Church seems to have the monopoly on religion. Personally I would encourage everyone to know their God / Godesses directly without a human intermediary with an agenda.

Some people will just never believe anything except what they have been brainwashed with. The best thing you can do is explain what you are and what you are not, and leave the ones who think you are evil to their own devices. Trying to explain something over and over to them will not make them believe, and will just cause you more stress and harm in the end.
blessed be

What is so unique about your witchcraft???? Not much diferent then mine.
I am not so sure that spirits and demons and things are real, or rather, objects of our own imagination. And, they could be energy forms, that we understand and put names to. Or their unreal. Either way, my personal spirit works with me,and I am successfull with her. Is she real, I don't know. But it works.
I am a Satanic witch. Get over the fear of the word, Satan, and evil doesn't exist anyway. There is no such thing.
Their afraid of what they don't know, and that you might be right. That you can harm them, adn they get paranoid. Just dumb sheep mentality.

As you describe yourself, it is clear that you are a Pagan.
But most people understand that the powers that you draw upon are from the dark side of the spirit realm. Even when you use those powers for good, their source is dark.

Christianity is a religion of fear. People who are Christian are afraid of offending their God. They fear you and your witchcraft -- like it's contagious or something -- because they are afraid that their God won't like that they have associated with you. Blessed be.

I accept that you believe it, and also that you attempt to practice it. I'm just not personally interested in it.

Thanks to the movies, things like withcraft have been given a bad name. Many people don't understand it so they criticize and fear it.
