Where are the Witches?
Where are the "Witches" on Witches & Pagans dot com? I see Pagans of all kinds, Heathen, Norse, Greek, Celtic, but where are the witches? The Gardnerians, the Alexandrians, the Feri? Reclaiming? Dianics, even? Anybody out there? Are there any pagans out there who AREN'T priesthood?
I'm not priestesshood; my path is too divulgent for that. Is there anyone else out there like me, who is searching for their path somewhere between Wiccan and Pagan?

Friday, 16 August 2013Here as well and I am not among the priesthood nor a part of any specific tradition. A question, though: do you separate Witches from Pagans? The structure of your post above could be understood that way so I figrued I'd ask. It's not a point of view I'd encountered before, if so, and I wonder if you could expand on it a bit. 'Course, if it's all a misunderstanding, which we all know _never_ happens on the Internet, never mind

Hi David,
For a long time, I didn't separate Witches from Pagans, but through interaction here, I'm noticing that a lot of bloggers who identify as strictly pagan don't talk about magical practice; instead, they obtain their goals through ritual, prayer, and sometimes sacrificial offerings. Taylor Ellwood talks about magical practice, but I'm not seeing as intricately developed a 'witchcraft' as I am seeing with 'paganism.' -

Gotcha! Thanks for the reply

Friday, 16 August 2013Hello!
Reclaiming witch here. Not Wiccan. -
Friday, 16 August 2013I will admit that while I am a dyed-in-the-wool, black-hat-wearing, old school kind of witch, I don't write about that much here. I teach the Craft for a living, and I guess maybe I feel like I've already said enough about it. Be Silent and all.
Mostly I prefer to talk about new and more novel subjects. Hence the Grimoire of Geek. But, if you read my blog, my witchy nature is often quite evident for those who know what to look for. *chuckles* -
Friday, 16 August 2013Right here! *raises broomstick* Eclectic, somewhat Wiccan-leaning witch :-)

I consider myself witch first. Still working on the actual path part.

I'm a chaote, but identify as a (non-Wiccan) primordialist witch, more than as a magician.

I'm a witch, family tradition, eclectic and Dianic. I'm also a Priestess and I teach. I don't call myself Wiccan unless this is the only "label" someone understands. I don't consider myself Wiccan.

I'm a totally non-Wiccan witch. There are more of us about than people think but we are usually too busy doing our own thing to worry about labels and fitting into a certain category. I am so pleased to see a variety of witches responding to Candi's original post, all of us different but still witches. It warms my solitary little heart.

I am a Deist as far as belief in a Higher Power goes. As for Path it is a Warrior shaman path. I work only with Natural Spirits and try to restore the Balance. Not sure if that qualifies me as a Heathen, a Pagan, or none of the Above. I identify with Witches, Pagans, and Heathens more than I do with the Abrahamic Religions, So I tend to visit and join groups and sites such as this.

Friday, 16 August 2013I ID as animist, with a path directed by modern Druidry and Shamanism. Definitely not Wiccan.
