is calling your self a witch a bit of a fantasy thing,like 24/7 role play?

i cant understand what they are supposed to do.as brewing up potions isnt going to do anything and as others have said broom propulsion is a few years away yet.doesnt leave a lot left.

we do have a black cat ,so maybe nik is a witch

Not a witch or a pagan, maybe bordering on a Wiccan over here.

Certainly spiritual - crystals, tarot cards, seances etc.

"......The father of modern medicine was Hippocrates, who lived sometime between 460 B.C and 377 B.C. Hippocrates was left historical records of pain relief treatments, including the use of powder made from the bark and leaves of the willow tree to help heal headaches, pains and fevers.

By 1829, scientists discovered that it was the compound called salicin in willow plants which gave you the pain relief."......

So it would have been shamans or witches who used the bark.

Just because you boil some herb or plant up doesn't make you a witch.

I wouldn't say believing in spirituality and crystals etc made you a witch either,I'd say that made you gullible.

Calling yourself a witch is a romantic fantasy.a fringe/cult religion.

Exactly this.

What cannot be settled by experiment is not worth debating (Newton's flaming laser sword).

Also, the Celts are a myth, just ask Steven Fry. If memory serves me the term was coined for a play/performance, it's in the book of General Ignorance.

I hate to label myself, and I'm certainly not Wiccan (Wicca was made up by a guy in around 1954), but the ideologies of both Wicca an paganism are certainly something worth living by, such as 'an it harm none, do what you will'. Seems a bit better than 'do what we tell you or you will burn in hell'.

But to answer the OP, if I had to classify myself I would happily call myself pagan and indeed that's what I put on the last census.

I'm far from gullible, and don't claim to be a witch.

Would I be also be classed the same if I said I believed in a dead Jew and a series of mismatched books?

I think the word 'wicca' is medieval being a male word and the female form of the word 'wicce'. With a capital W as in Wicca or Wiccan, that's from the 20th century.

Its interesting - given that 90% of Christianity is based on pagan rituals.

Christmas, Easter, etc all pagan festivals.

Go into any church built before the 18th century. You WILL find a green man somewhere.

I don't believe in runes, or spirit spells or any of that "Glastonbury" shit. But I do believe in the ethics of the religion. Do no harm and everything in balance.

Basically its all about the equivalent of karma.

Most of the pagan festivals were jumped on by the christian's to make it accessible to the people they were trying to convert. Christmas was yule a holiday to celebrate midwinter's night. Easter, the spring equinox which was a celebration of birth/rebirth which strangely coincided with Jesus's resurrection and the pagan new year Samhain is all hallows eve aka halloween.

surely a theory is just guesswork, you can supply evidence to support a Theory but that doesn't make it fact

Yes, two here. We met at Druid Camp years ago and learnt that several others who regularly go to that event are swingers too.

Not really, no. Scientific theories are explanations of the natural world based on knowledge that has been confirmed through observations and experimentation. Take the large hadron collider at CERN for example. Two teams, working autonomously in the same area, not allowed to speak to the other team or confirm their results. Both teams found the higgs boson and confirmed each other's results. Scientific theory is open to criticism, the method statement published in journals so you could literally build your own version to repeat the experiment and verify it for yourself, comparing your results with the authors. All scientific theories are open to modification and evolution, such as gravity - relativity to increase our understanding as we gain knowledge of the natural world.

...and I've shamelessly ripped this little nugget from Wikipedia.

"Scientific theories are the most reliable, rigorous, and comprehensive form of scientific knowledge. This is significantly different from the word "theory" in common usage, which implies that something is unsubstantiated or speculative. "

And finally, I leave you with Oscar Wilde

"Religion is link a blind man looking in a black room for a black cat that isn't there, and finding it"

Religion in any of its forms offers comfort and spiritual nourishment to those who follow it, you only have to see people in the Philippines attending mass amidst the ruins of their lives to understand that. Quoting science, proof and no proof won't change what to many is a basic need.
