I believe I already know what you are, Jeff. It's pretty obvious. :-D

I just copied and pasted from a source when i was looking at mountain Ash, as for arrogance, i never mentioned the word, you did. Cinaed "As far as demeaning Wiccans as a whole, I've known British Gardnerian Wiccans who can make the sweat roll off your body, and your knees quake by just gazing at you.":  REALLY, Is that all? 

I have made many women orgasm just by a glancing look at them, i have made women fall head over heels in love with me or any one else i deem worthy with just a few quick glances, i do not have to stare or gaze at people, knees quake? i have made henchmen run in fear from my presence and i am enougth to scare even the Wiccan, if you know him Jason Roberts knows what i am and so does the Norse Pantheous covens in Aberdeenshire and Somerset. it is worth your while talking to them before you make the big mistake of talking down to me.

Oh, Dear, Jeffery,

Witches love the Rowan Tree and many of us go out of our way to plant one in our garden. It would be interesting to know where you got your information from as I can guarantee it was not written by any self-respecting Wiccan or Witch, from any part of the UK.

 

Cinaed mentioned a couple of good authors and experts on British Folk law. They have many years of research between them and are both highly respected as Authors & Historians.

 

How can you possibly say it is boring to be a Wiccan? You cannot have studied or Circled with any 'proper' Witches or Wiccans, boring we are not!!

I'm sorry, Jeffery - but witches just love the Rowan. Please be very careful in your research, as there are quite a few out there who try to dissuade the seeker by propagating "fake-lore." There are a few authorities on the subject who can easily be accessed: Phillip Carr-Gomm ("The Book of English Magic," co-authored by Richard Heygate) and Prof. Ronald Hutton, just to mention a couple.

As far as demeaning Wiccans as a whole, I've known British Gardnerian Wiccans who can make the sweat roll off your body, and your knees quake by just gazing at you.

I'm guessing you're fairly young, as evidenced by your willingness to latch onto shaky lore, and dispense it in such an arrogant manner. Be careful, as the Master delights in f*cking with such.

Hello Bones, i have done some digging for you, as i love to investigate source and origins, found something interesting in English Folk lore, that may help.

The Mountain Ash (Rowan) or Wicken or Wiggen Tree, (Thor's tree of protection against Giants and witches)

The Anti-Witching properties of this tree are held in very high esteem in the Northern Counties of England,

no witch will come near it; and it is believed that its smallest twig crossing the path of a witch, will effectively stop her career, to prevent a churn being bewitched, so the butter will not come, the churn-staff must be made of the Wicken (Wiggen) Tree. there is loads more stuff on it but the closeness of these words to Wicca or Wiccan is stricking, and when they say they are not witches but only do good things and make vowes to never hurt anyone, would confirm that they are not witches, but the wicca (Wiccan) practice a form of Anti-witchery, as to make a love spell, you have to work magick against the will power of an individual for another person with selfish intent (Evil), as in that person wants the love of the person who has not given the witch consent. i am so glad i am not Wiccan, sounds really boring.

Hi, Bones. Yes, if you're starting out in esoteric studies, it can be confusing. But, really that's a mindset that we're conditioned to engage in. We must have everything in boxes with proper labels. I am a member of a Welsh/Celtic traditional craft coven with a 1734 geneology, and yes, we are all witches. I also study Wicca, and have actually been kicked out of one tradition for disputing the dogmatic approach to "The Rede." There are many who belong to Wicca traditions, but do not claim the title "witch." They practice wort-cunning for healing and health purposes, energy work, meditation and chakra work, ecological awareness, and things like that. But, any spellcrafting is pretty much limited to nice, safe things such as found in the popular "Wicca 101" books. I'm not "putting down" any practice, you understand - I like a lot of things about Wicca. (And regardless of his vitriol, Robert Cochrane was a Gardner initiate.)

The link provided by Lady Skydancer IS a good place to start.

Bendithion!

Hi Bones,

There have been hundreds of discussions here over the difference between Wicca and Witch. Just put both words into the search engine here and you will find them. I have enclosed the link to one of them here to start you off. Good Luck - you will need it!

..I'm confussed.  I thought Wicca was short for Witch.  Pagan(ism), Heathen(ism), Occult(ism) Christian(ity) ect.

 

I know it's modern..the term Wicca I mean, but I would think that all teachings of old and new would be the same really..so what's the difference then?

 

Letting you know I am a solitary person and I really never had my own total personal space..yet.  So my study and workings are limited.  Until that time come anyway. 

 

I've really never met any other folk like myself in person, so I base my knowledge through sites such as this and books and most importantly what the spirits and the deities I love guide me towards..

 

Am I doing this right so far then?
