Magic Forums

I am new to the site. I've only been on here a few days and I have read the threads and the chatter. I've even participated in some of the chatter and tried to help a few people in the threads.

In doing all of this, I have also read quite a few of the profiles that people have posted for themselves. Some I can totally get into until I get to the part where they are a werewolf or half vampire or some such other...'fluff'. I know this is part of what the site calls 'fluffy'. The problem I see here...is that these 'children' that actually write this 'fluff' on their profile...must really believe it...or at least hope it is so.

I came to this site hoping to be able to find some like-minded souls to continue my learning of magick, among other things and I know there are some very knowledgeable people here. Like I said, I have read quite a few of the profiles (and not all of them were claiming to be fantasy creatures.

I've read the Harry Potter and Twilight books among many others...I am a teacher. But it is FANTASY.

My question is..how do you handle this? I know its fantasy...you know its fantasy...do you just shake your head and move on?
