Ring of faith

So, like many people in today’s society I am part of the social media world and therefore I belong to several group on face book and pretty much I go unnoticed. However, I responded to a post with my usual jovial humour and to say it back fire would be an understatement. A question had been posted in a pagan group I belong to, of how long you had been practising and what level you see yourself as and why? I responded that I don’t believe in levels in faith and that I am a witch and not a gamer. I was then told that I was being disrespectful, not by the person who had posted the question but someone else. I tried to explain that I was not being disrespectful, I was being honest.

This in turned cause the person who had NEVER spoken to me before to question my faith in a very sarcastic way. Her unfounded argument that being a Wiccan and the Art of Witchcraft are two different things and if I had any grasp on the difference then I would have answered the question more sensibly. I know the difference but I don’t see that as separate.

Like the Wheel of the Year worshipped by some pagans, I see Witchcraft as circular, or maybe to be more precise a spiral, raising yes, as you get stronger but not in the sense of a step up, like the term level indicates. The spiral of witchcraft seems to have the less of the insistent of one individual being “better” than someone else. Oh well, that is just one person view of course.
