It's not, "only white magick", but more of "use magick for good, not harm" outlook. Of course it recognizes it both good and evil as instinctual, but it sort of adds in a "don't be a princess sophia" clause.

I can quite honestly say that I would have to go with "confused"

or maybe if I put it another way, little bits of a lot of different things make sense to me, but they all have some other stuff that doesn't

I think that if I change the options again, it wil clear the voting results, so I will hold off for a while, if that's ok with everyone?

Shay, I had a big think, and if it's ok, I will leave Wicca and Pagan together, not because they are the same, but because they are roughly the same category.
For instance, I have put Catholic and Anglican together, not the same at all, but roughly the same category.

There are so many religions and beliefs and sub divisions etc, that I coud not possibly include everything, but I think I have covered just about every main belief. (I think?) If there is anything I have left out or if anyone is offended, just let me know and I will do something about it.

There is now room for twenty options, but of course the votes will be cleared, if I add to it.
There is of course Celtic, which can be Pagan Celtic or Christian Celtic, it gets so complicated.

Lol I was never saying you should change the categories. I was not aiming that comment at you in the slightest. I meant in general it's a common misconception if people say Wicca they will also call you Pagan, but they're not the same. Category wise, I say you have it right because they are both the same in that aspect.

This thread has now become group hug appropriate, unfortunately though we lost our smiley. Damn those overusing spammers :angry:

I have this one Dowster. Will it do? Image
For anyone who wants to. ;)

Some people just don't like the group hug thing though.
So don't worry it's not compulsory. Only if we want to
We're not doing a team building/counselling session. No way - Not ever, particularly not in this thread anyway. I hate it, it can seem so forced and unatural.

I just don't feel it suits us. I think we're all pretty close as it is.

Save it for private times - like in Pm's.

Religion isn't so bad until they try to force their beliefs on others and make other people feel outcasted and cause wars and violence over them.

I don't really practice any religions at this time or attend churches. I do believe in God, but that's about it. I just try to do good things and live my life.

I believe that there was an alien that brought people here in a jumbo jet because he thought it was funny to blow up volcanos and watch the people die.
