It's interesting to me, that you are so certain, of so much. I've always liked being uncertain, life is not cut and dry, there is mystery there.There you go with the word belief again. I;m not relating any belief of mine to you when I tell you that witchcraft is an exercise in fraudulent marketing. It;s a statement of fact and an open secret of neopaganism. Sure, it draws customers in the door but it fails to keep them.
Those things I believe... I;m not sure of, and that;s why I call them beliefs. I believe, for example....that all MRES are made of processed tuna..and that the united states is the greatest country in the world. There;s wiggle room in those two where there isn;t any for witchcraft. There may be mystery in life, but there isn;t mystery in witchcraft.
Allow me to be so bold as to suggest that your connection of the two has more to do with the taboos of your upbringing than anything else.
So, you're saying basically, that people who are lifelong Wiccans are not sticking with it because of witchcraft.
