[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do Wiccaans refer to themselves as witches?  I don't see how believing in a spiritual duality and feeling a connection with nature makes one a "witch".  How do Wiccaans even know what witches are?  Honestly, why choose such an in your face and loaded term?  [/quote]

Not all Wiccans practice magick, but those who do call ourselves witches. We know what witches are because we come from a long line of Pagan religions. I personally have a huge fascination with earth based religion history.

We choose that term because we don't care about its connotation to you. It's the most apt descriptor, your comfort or inconvenience be damned. [/quote]

WTF is a non-practicing Wiccan?!  This is why I called you a fluffy bunny upthread.  You have some functional knowledge/overview of Wicca 101 and are here to spread the good word.  Unfortunately, half of what you're saying is wrong and the other is wishy-washy and watered down for the masses.

This is why Pagan religions were traditionally SECRET.  "Wicca" is a new-age Pagan movement comprised of a loose amalgamation/appropriation/bastardization of (what some folks think of as) Pagan theology.  "An it harm none, I can do whatever I like."  That doesn't make you a Witch.[/quote]
