Yes, I do! I am Pecti-Witan (aka Hedge Witch, not Wiccan) a "solitary" practitioner of "the Old Religion" (witchcraft), and have been for many, many years. Being a "Witch" is nothing like what is portrayed in movies or on Television. There is nothing flashy about it. we are fairly simple people with "abilities" that everyone has, ours are just honed and utilized. Lots of research and practice. There is a lot to learn when you are dealing with herbal, mineral and candle magick.
I read tarot cards, rune stones and utilize a number of other "fortune telling" tools but would NEVER charge anyone for anything I do! Besides, I do not do "readings" or "cast spells" for others on demand. That sounds more like a con game to me!
My mother was a witch so it seemed to come naturally to me, as I believe that this is not my first life (nor the last) as a witch. I have always had a deep respect for nature and have an innate ability to communicate with animals. When I was very young my parents encouraged me to learn about all religions, so I did. Books are an excellent source, providing you get the right ones, there are some I would avoid. I prefer Scott Cunningham.
We have developed a thick skin, because even in this "advanced" civilization there are still those who believe we worship the devil (LMAO, can't worship something you do not believe exists), and would rather turn a blind eye to the world around them. Some will even admit that they think we should be burned at the stake! Ignorance knows no bounds.

No, but it does have its merits as far as some of what it revolves around. Real witchcraft (wicca) that is, not the stuff you typically see in movies and on TV.

Smewhat. I believe in a ouija board. I know they work. Made by Parker Brothers or not, they work. I had one. Other than that, not really.
Although I love the idea behind it. I'm facinated by some of it. Like The Harry Potter series, or any other kind of wizardry. And I LOVE dragons....

It's not a game! There are real evil spirits behind it - demons and Satan. Don't mess with it as it leads to death!
