  • Article / Essay » Realistic, General Re: Being an Eclectic Witch

    Really cool...I've always had an appreciation for pagan/wiccan culture, despite the typical negative "demonic" stigma that's been so unfairly (and incorrectly) attached. I wish this article was longer

    Interesting rhyme scheme...I kind of have a love/hate feeling with it, honestly, but that's just a matter of personal opinion. The general theme of this is realllyyyy cool, but I ...
