Witch?

Just going to say, sorry if I offend anyone or something like this isn't ment to be posted here

I allways seem to be kicked out of 'groups' at school. Generally its because I let something slip that they don't agree with, or they find offensive. I've only got one real freind.

I thought these people were my friends. Well, not really freinds. Some of them a liked, some of them I didn't. But I got along pretty well with them, and I thought we were pretty content together. But I guess not. It starts with the fact that I am Wiccan. I am Wiccan, but I still hold many of the the christian beliefs that the rest of my family live with.Anyway, last week they were having a discussion on religion. I wasn't paying attention and was drawing pictures in my school diary. When one of them asked me, I just looked up for a second and told them I was Wiccan before going back to my drawing. They all cracked up laughing.

I was sick for the next two days, and then went back to school. I didn't sit with them at Recess or for the first part of lunch because the group of people whom I do not get along with (A former group of freinds) were sitting with them. At second half of lunch they went away, so me and my freind went to go and sit with them. As soon as I sat down they all moved away and went to sit with the other group. It felt a bit put out but tried to ignore it.

The next day I went to school my friend came up to me and told me that they didn't want to hang around with me anymore. When I asked her why she said that it was because they though I was a Witch.

...

A witch...? A witch.

Seriously. I go to a Public school where it is pretty Multicultural. Its not like everyone is the same religon. And its not like I stood up and declared that my religion was the best. If I did something like taht I would totally understand them kicking me out of their group. but I didn't, so why?

As an added note, sorry about the bad spelling and setout. I was doing some fast typing to get it off my chest

People often think I'm a witch, i've had co-workers start rumours about me to that effect. Actually I'm a christian, but the strange looking eyes, the 'unusual' woman thing. I think a lot of aspie women might have the same problem.

They would have burnt aspies at the stake in the old days, for sure.

Some times life is just like that.

I don't think people need a reason to reject an aspie from there group they just need an excuse.

Which, seems as good as any.

Just remember Goucho Marx "I would not want to be a member of any club that would take me as a member".

I know what you mean. When people in the States say 'freedom of religion' it means you can be a methodist or a baptist or a presbyterian. . .LOL

I don't see that them thinking you're a witch is so unreasonable; a lot of Wiccans are.

Of course that doesn't mean they have to be jerks about it, but that's part of a larger problem Pegans everywhere face. Not a small problem at all. . . but no need to feel lonely about it anyway.

So is part of your Christianity that you've retained a refusal to practice magic?

dont let those ignorant fools get you down. jsut be yourself and be proud of it. anyone who kicks you out becuse of your religion is not wasting your time with.

and acording to the witch thingie, then yes. technically your a white witch, a "good" witch. if you were a satanic, however, you would be a black witch, who uses dark magic to destroy people or stuff.

next time somone tries to let you down becuse of your religion, just laugh at them in their open faces.

I don't think it has much to do with religion. It's a way of saying we find you scary, wierd, creepy etc etc and we don't want you around. Theyre not sure why they feel that, so the give it a name. Do they know you have Asperger's?

Aren't witches a part of Wiccan theology?

Not to say they weren't inconsiderate or uninformed. It would be kind of dumb for someone to call somebody a Bishop just because they are Episcopalian.

That's ridiculous... so people have something against you because you're Wiccan? Some people seem seriously ignorant sometimes... what is it with such people?

It's clearly their problem, not yours... I'm sure you know lol... what do people hold against Wiccans anyway? It baffles me...

thats the world for you or at least this country they say freedom of religion and acceptance of diversity but we're not all accepting in a multicultural nation. its so dumb and
