Hi - i have a few questions for you wrt witchcraft, or wicca, or however you call it! what is it that makes you a witch and how do you become one? i'm genuinely curious! thanks...

My mum runs meditation classes and spiritual workshops. The charge? An occasional box of tea bags or packet of biscuits so that her supply doesn't run out

I admit to liking fantasy type books, but I do not keep them next to my grimoire .

All of my ritual (rarely used) tools such as my athame have come to me by accident or gift. If I do buy anything it is invariably an amazing bargain. I believe that things will come to you when you are ready - if you have to lay out a fortune then it isn't the stuff for you IYSWIM.

Oh and I had a robe that was a gift back in my Wiccan days. I have given it away though because I didn't see the need for it.

why do you need an athame? why not just use a bread knife?

Yup - anything that doesn't charge oodles I trust.

Are you coming to the picnic stg?

I don't need an athame, that's my point. I have one because it was a gift. I rarely use it, I use the knife that I cut my herbs with.

My athame is very nice, feels comfortable to use and more importantly came from someone I love. For those reasons alone I will sometimes use it for special occasions.

What picnic? I've missed a lot of threads recently.

Hyde park (I think) - Last Sunday in July, a family thing so kids etc too

In that case no, I will be in Alicante

Bloody inconsiderate if you ask me!
