i am a celtic [welsh] pagan hedgewitch.
there is a balance between light and dark, life and death - we cannot have one without the other
i believe that your words and actions can be sent out and returned threefold. some call it karma. others call it the natural flow of life :)
of course i believe in healthy and happy living, and i never intentionally harm anyone's feelings, but we all make mistakes, that's how we progress in this life!
i have no time for hatred, its a waste of energy. those who embody it, i send out light and love to, and hope they can lose their excess negativity.
as for death, we will all face it one day, it natural and when i die i believe my body will return to the earth, my breath to the air, and my spirit will live on in the memories and hearts of my family and friends.
i do not worship any particular gods, though if i need assistance or guidance i will ask for the blessings of the spirits of the place where i am at that time [of a tree, rocks, water etc], and for the blessings of my ancestors.
brightest blessings

I am a Witch, I want to say the religious and craft practices of true witches are suppose to be for positive, and productive things...for the good. I practice this. I will say that if some one is in danger or need protection I do use defesive magick when needed. I always work for the Lord and Lady to send truth and Justice through divine intervention. There are times that I have been tempted to use magick out of revenge / hate, but soon found it was not worth the time or the energy, and also found that revenge is not wroth the trouble.
So lessons lerned work for the good in all things, correct the wrong, protect the innocent, and let the Lord and Lady serve the Justice.
Blessings,
Lady Cedar

I'm a Pagan witch. I believe in balance in all things. Healthy and happy living to the best of my ability. Maintaining balance is pre-eminent for my sanity, and if that means I have to do a spell to keep someone from harming me, or to stop their behavior toward me, I will do it. I do not adhere to the rede or the threefold law. If you approach the gods in sincerity and honor and ask for the balance to be restored to yourself through the spell, you will be successful. I do not consider this evil in the least. As far as death... I will die someday. We all will. I do not waste time worrying about something over which I have no control.

I am Asatru pagan.
I believe in a lot of things. I believe in family and friends, home and hearth. I believe that I am the literal decendants of the gods, my Elder Kin and my family. I follow the morals laid down in the Havomal
http://www.northvegr.org/northern/book/praiseworthy.php
I follow the gods of Norse, and I am rather close to Freyja for many reasons. But I honor them all and they are welcome in my home and my life.
Death is a part of life. It's not one way or the other. Hate is just bad for you and does no one any good. There is little point in it.
The list goes on and on.

That depends on what you mean. "believe in" is open to interpretation. I certainly am not denying the reality of death and hate, but that doesn't mean I promote them (well death is a special case because it's a part of life, really- so I can't really promote or discourage it).
I believe in myself, I believe in humanity, in karma, in trying your best, and in standing up for what I think is right. And a handful of deities, but that is irrelevant in this context.

wiccan and witch. they are not the same. you need happiness, health, death, and hate. as well as sadness, sickness, birth, and love. like yin and yang. thats what i believe. spells are a little strange, i dont do them often, but rituals on the sabbats just feel right. i believe in triple goddess and ancient gods and goddess. dont call me crazy because i'm not.

I am a Wiccan. Wicca stresses fertility, pleasure, compassion, love, and creativity. While we acknowledge that death, destruction, and pain exist, we view them as necessary parts of existence and do not consider them "evil". Nor do we dwell upon them, generally preferring to devote ourselves to more "positive" pursuits.
