Really?! I mean come on!

It is so difficult to be taken seriously as a witch. Its not like I can really blame them, I mean look at the witches they show on television, bad hair dyes, gawdy jewelry, capes for f***s sake. How can anyone expect to be taken seriously when they dress like a character from Harry Potter or like the Renaissance Fair, in all of its gloriously obnoxious historical inaccuracies, looks like it bashed them over the head. Lets leave Salem and  Gomorrah behind us please, because seriously, it's hurting my rep.
I didn't want to start out my blog raving about my annoyances with others but there was no other way to introduce my point.

Most Witches I have met, read about, or heard of admit that the God and Goddess are really the same and that even more simply Everything is the God and Goddess, even and maybe especially ourselves. We admit this to ourselves and other and yet people still act like we're the people "they" say we are.

We don't believe in something outrageously odd. We admit that our religious stories are parables and not historical accounts. We know there was no underground worship of stone age deities in 17th century England. And most importantly we know that the stereotypes against us hurt us in very real ways- lost jobs, taken children, lost respect and stolen peace.

This Blog is my story, my struggle, my comedy, my ideas, and my manifesto.

My Name Is Cailin. And I am a Witch.
