When you're sworn in in court, you bring your own Grimoire

You've been seen talking to cats. They talk back. AND, You understand what they're saying.

When asked if you believe in God, you ask, Which one?

You know what widdershins means.

You have a frequent buyer card at the local antique bookstore. The proprietor of said bookstore picks out anything to do with the Celts and saves it for you.

You know that there are exceptions to the laws of physics. You've caused them.

The first thing your guests say is, My, that's a nice Altar you have there!

On Halloween, you yell Happy New Year! at passers-by.

You know that Christmas trees were originally Pagan symbols. That's why you bought one.

You have friends who say they are Elves, and you believe them.

You commit blasphemy in the plural.

Upon dying, your first thought is, Darn it, not AGAIN!

When you say Mother Nature, you don't mean it in an anthropomorphic way.

You know that there is a right way and a wrong way to draw a Pentacle. You can explain the difference.

You've spent the last year and a half looking for a familiar.

You talk to trees and they talk back.

You know Dragons and the Fae exist, and you've seen them.

Painting yourself blue, spiking your hair, and dancing naked around a bonfire sounds like great fun.

You've seen the movie The Craft. You know where they were making stuff up in The Craft. You have explained this to other people. You can do it better than they did it in The Craft. You know it's a load of poo poo.

You understand the symbolism behind a maypole and it makes you smile.

You've ever ended a phone call with So Mote it Be!

You think that Scott Cunningham is a household name.

You feel that there is no such thing as having too many cats.

The emergency calls you get at work are your teenagers wanting to know the whereabouts of the extra candles, incense or other miscelaneous ritual items.

Someone asks you what you are doing wandering around in the woods wearing a robe, and you answer cheerfully Going to church!

Your children go around telling people that The Goddess Loves You.

You're reading this list. You understand what it's all about.

Excellent, hilarious post girl!   I have not seen the Craft, but I am guessing that I do not want too, lol!    You reminded me that I need a new robe, and my cat Sinkers musta heard you say Happy New Year, because he is now twirling around my legs asking me where the goodies are!

Actually, I don't agree with that statement about the Craft...I watched it recently and it is good in spots, but there is a moment when the magick goes from real paganism to just Hollywood.  And then there is a chick who does a binding spell to get a girl to stop bothering her and she uses pink thread?  I'd have used black.  The glamour spells work a little to easily as well.

I loved the Craft!  Another favorite of mine is Practical Magic!

Hollywood over-exaggerates everything, not just witchcraft...

I think it makes it more fun though, if movies totally reflected real life... they'd be so... BORING.
