flying around on a broomstick, although there are times I wish I could do that, or at least feel in the mood to do that! Wiccans respect nature and their surroundings. They do good for the good of others too. They usually are kind-hearted and peaceful people. Very rarely will you run across a Pagan that isn't in at least a semi good mood.

Science has proved that there are benefits to certain herbs, crystals and matter, drawn from the Earth. Christians have proven that there are great benefits to prayer, church and giving your life to Christ. I am actually having a hard time figuring out why the two religions have become such a debate? It seems society has turned it into a power struggle of evil vs. good. I for one, believe there is good in both. I do know that media, television shows and some fundamentalists have taken the idea of Wicca completely out of context, blaming all our murder, crime, mis-guided youth and drugs on the "Wiccans of Today". Believe me, if a Wiccan was capable of casting a spell that could turn you into a frog, there would be an over-population of frogs!

Christians and Wiccans cannot tell you the winning lottery numbers, they cannot bring you back from the dead and they surely cannot fly, neither one.

There are some people out there that turn both of these religions into a scary mess, by going to far with beliefs and "pushing" it onto others. This is called an "occult". Always stay away from these kinds of groups, on either side. Spirituality is a personal choice within. Religion should be a personal choice as well. Positive energy does not work if you, yourself do not believe in being positive or believe in what you are practicing. Praying will do you no good, if all you do is roll your eyes and mock at it. Nature will not help you either if all you do is snicker and giggle while meditating. These are serious religions with serious beliefs, that should be respected.

Some of my debates have been against Wicca, asking why the spells? Spells are merely "affirmations" of sorts. They are chants, energy or personal reminders to create a surrounding. Yes some spells can be effective if done seriously,
