So I thought that maybe I should make this thread, since others of my faith have done the same on other roleplaying boards, and they've helped enlighten other people when they otherwise would have been left rather blind on the topic.
Before we jump into this, I suggest you reading one of the following, if you are unsure about Wicca/Witches/Magick. Maybe this will answer one of your questions before you even ask!
What is Wicca/Witchcraft?
Overview of Wicca
Now there are some questions that I will not answer, for obvious reasons of them being a bit crude. I'll list some of them out here, along with why I won't be going into detail for any of them:
Q: Why do you believe that stuff? It's so weird!
A: This really offends me when people ask me this. (And I have been asked it so many times.) If you are religious, try looking at your own path, and you'll see I'm not the only one with "strange" happenings in my religious path. If you are not religious, then you really wouldn't be able to comprehend it anyways. Most of the events from pop culture religion has steamed from Paganism at some point.
Q: So do you believe you can fly, go through walls, and all that?
A: Short answer is no. Magick doesn't work in the way that the media makes everyone believe. Most Witches are quite aware they're not SuperMan/Woman and cannot go around saving the world. Instead, we practice small magickal summons. We can ask for healing energy, sometimes receive prophecies, and us 'gifted' can do things from medium ship to empathy.
Q: You say you speak to your Deities? Yeah right!
A: Paganism deities are a bit more vocal than those of pop culture religions. (At least for bias reasons I see it as such.) We speak, we leave offerings, and get to know who we're worshiping. As a Heathen Pagan I have spoken to four of the gods/esses of my pantheon. Sometimes unwillingly, other times after seeking them out. I have also spoken to some from other pantheons, but not nearly as frequently.
Q: Oh yeah well, prove that you have magick!
A: Not even a question, but it might be asked of me down the road. Unfortunately I cannot, as we do not know each other in real life, and short of letting you speak to one of my deities, or praying for your wellbeing I cannot to much. At least not willingly. I am an empath, but those things are very fickle. You don't have much control over it- at least I don't yet. And to clarify an empath is NOT a medium. I cannot speak to the dead- do not ask.
I'm sure that there are more questions out there that will be added onto this list, as time goes on. But for now, this is all I can think of. These questions will not be answered, neither will any other questions I think are rude and offensive. Please try and be polite with your questions.
Blessed Be,
