white witches And the Dark Arts.

[ricey]

Were any of you concerned at The Historians comments on Mhlive when she classed white witches along with the dark arts?

I was a bit worried, as i had always thought white witches or wiccans to be a positive thing. What do you think?
she said that all withces were the same. (monday night show)

She had no right to lump them altogether.

I dont know anything about witchcraft but do know that most are not into any kind of dark arts.

That woman is a joke.

[ricey]

well, i thought after they had got rid of Richard they would have stoped the Historians.
Sometimes, she dose say silly things.
She mentioned the plague and red rings? People with the plague never got red rings.
The ring a ring a rosies, thing is an urban myth. People were ill and got sick and died. No rings
no coughs.

He thought so to and was devastated when he saw lesley.
Mh did a crafty and told him a historian was not needed on MH they did not mention MHL.
If she is on the series though then all hell will break loose as people will go mad..rightly so.


I am useless at my history so thanks for that.

I remember being taugh at school about the plague and the 'ring a ring of roses' being about it at school.... however I watched Qi the other night (love that show as think it is very funny) and it's nothing to do with it. was written by an American guy many years after the plague.

Personally, I don't feel comfortable about witches in general whether they are white, black or multi-coloured but it was wrong of her to lump them together especially as David Wells tries to spend so much time on expaining the difference.

They are all made of the same stuff....a white witch and black witch are of all the same.......anyone person can do good and be nice and yet the same person can do bad and be horrid......

see what i mean....what goes up must come down,,,,,,in and out......positive n negative.......all from the same thing/matter/earth/air....so on....

its what we classed as white n black, you might hear a joke, yet one might laugh while the other doesn`t.....does it mean its good or bad.....?

[misty]

Yes, DM, I think I see what you're getting at!

I've always been rather intrigued my the perception of different colour witches myself. Black, white, green were curious enough but lately I've heard of red, pink and blue as well! What's that all about??? And to top it all, I heard that somebody had referred to ME as a 'purple witch' the other day! WHAT??? Until I find out what it means, I simply don't know whether to give her a blessing or turn her into a toad!

misty.

I only ever heard of black or white witches.

When they start all this pink blue stuff it makes a bit of a mockery out of it all and they wonder why people do not take them seriously.

[DragonMaster]

pmsl@ misty....well forget all the colours so on, you have been called a witch, but thats neither good nor bad really. a witch is a witch, no colours whatso ever. go back to when it was founded, there wasn`t white n black, just a woman that had nature in her hands ?

[misty]

Quite so DM!

I find this need that some folk have for sticking labels on people and slotting them into little boxes for their own convenience quite frustrating, though. We are all just people, living our lives the best we know how

to true misty, let and let life comes to mind..
