Shez : #> Witchcraft is not a religion, its an art and craft, and like any other #> craft it can be taught, learned practised and refined. Its no more #> religious than a being a stonemason, a woodcarver, or a brewer.. a wonderful notion of witchery. -ammitusen-@excite.com (Ayin): # can't say agree that witchcraft is not a religion. i've got quite a # few Wiccan friends and they are quite devoted to thier beliefs as a # religion. i've been allowed to participate in a few of thier # ceremonies and though i have no belief in God as a deity, i found the # Wiccan rites to be quite lovely. ceremonies, belief in a deity or deities, rites. sounds like religion. I hear some governments recognize it as a religion. does that count too? # what i especially love about my Wiccan friends is [their] love and # concern for the Earth. that's my favourite part. Gaians are right protective. the best that can be mustered by many religious is 'stewardship'. # i really appreciate people who appreciate our beautiful planet as a # sublime gift from The Supreme Whatever. birthed? gifted? created? designed? intended? different categories of witch would probably answer differently. Christian witches: God (Jehovah-Jesus God) made it Wiccans: the Lord and Lady Fucked it Into Being Vaisnavites: Visnu made it and returns to it Naturist Nuwagers: It just grew that way!! Satanists: it is our duty to protect and cherish it! y r B o l b n e e w s a o s s d e t e d ! .com@nagasiva lorax666 unless
