Dispelling the fear and ridicule of those practicing witchcraft is so damn hard and I can't understand why. To say that the practice is evil would be like saying that praying in any other faith is evil as well. I don't get it. When you pray, your harnessing energy and directing it towards a common goal that you and/or others in your faith would like to achieve. That's EXACTLY what we do when we practice the Craft. The only difference is that we believe WE are responsible for what we've created through our 'prayers' instead of 'God'. How is that different, tell me? For those who take joy in ridiculing witches, isn't harnessing mental energy like this based in science? The whole power of affirmation kind of thing? Would you ridicule other faiths out in the open because they believe in 'imaginary beings'? I'm not talking about ridiculing them online, everyone's self confident enough online to ridicule anyone else, but in real life, too? Every time the topic comes up in real life, I hesitate to mention my Pagan path because of all the Harry Potter jokes and crap. I'm sick of it.
While we're on the topic of magic, I'd also like to point out that there is NO SUCH THING as 'white magic' and 'black magic' it's MAGIC...or PRAYER...plain and simple!! Everything in life has positive aspects and negative aspects, yin and yang, light and dark. Black and white magic are nothing more than marketing gimics...like Christmas and Halloween! So...anyone who tells you they are a 'White Witch' is full of SHIT and doesn't know enough about the path itself to even be representing it! Ok, end rant! lol :P
