I'm really confused, and surprised. I talked to my friend today, and we were talking about how I'm interested in Witchcraft, and then she said "Are you telling me you're a witch?"and I got kinda uncomfortable and Was like,"not really"cause I'm interested in it but I'm not one..yet. And then I asked what she thinks a witch is, and she rattled off all the storytale things, and I was really surprised. I'm trying to explain to her what modern "white"witches are, but I'm doing the best I can, but I dont know if thats good enough, I cnt eactly tell her to go look it up online.
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here, but...
Wiccanism, or 'white witch' is VERY difficult to explain without the words 'witch' or 'magick', which tend to scare a lot of people off.
Some people think we are satanists. Some people think we're dellusional, others think we are evil. There's no changing their opinions 99% of the time. Hollywood and TV shows have blinded and blinkered people as to what witchcraft, or 'the old ways' is really about.
I'm sorry your friend doens't understand...if she is a very strong Christian, there is very little change for you to get her to come around to your point of view. Just always remember that wiccans aren't there to preach...merely to inform if someone is seeking knowledge :)
You're right when you say that you can't just tell her to go off and search the net (there is such a load of misinformed crap out there...plus all opinions on the craft differ per person), but you can tell her to go to this website - http://www.wicca.com/celtic/wicca/wicca.htm
It gives an absolutely beautiful description of what Wicca is all about.
If you personally ever want to know more about Wiccanism/paganism, some cool websites or books to check out, or even just to chat about it, feel free to email me/add me on any of the addy's listed on my profile :)
And always remember that your best is ALWAYS good enough :) If your friend isn't open-minded enough to listen, that's not your fault!!
Blessed Be,
