This boy is copying all sorts of information from anywhere. He claims to be able to teach.. He is trying to make himself knowledgeable, it's a power kick. He is 14 years old, and quite fluffy.
For one thing no im not Brysing!I know this stuff by heart and just because im 14 you can't assume im a fluffy and a newbie to magick.Im not a newbie.I have study magick since I was three and been doing since I was nine.I know this stuff not from the internet,but from family,school,and friends.If I did copy this stuff then thats your beleive not mine.I learn from what I know,and I teach what I know.My role is to tell not to copy.I rather die in a desert than copy information.We all know what we know.Plus I study mythology and study religion.My best friend a jew and my second best is a christain.I think I made my point now.
also christianity isnt necciserally(excuse my spelling) believing in all of those three, god,jesus, and the holy spirit. being a christian is more believing in christ, hence the name christianity.
blessed be
by the way im 14 too but i get all this from my head with only 4 years of wiccanism

Paganism and Wicca are not the same thing.
Paganism is an umbrella term which covers a wide variety of religions of widely varied beliefs and practices. Some followers of Pagan religions practice magic as part of their religion, others do not. Some Pagan religions worship specific pantheons, but not all Pagans are polytheistic. Some Pagans are even atheists. The vast majority of Pagans are not witches and do not practice witchcraft.
Wicca is one particular form of Pagan religion which does happen to include the practice of magic in its belief system...but not all Wiccans cast spells. Wiccans may believe in a God and Goddess who are not known by other names. Other Wiccans may work with a variety of Gods and Goddesses. Some Wiccans choose to work with a specific pantheon such as Greek or Egyptian, but many work with Gods from a variety of cultures.
Papists and Catholics are the same thing. Papist means someone who follows the Pope.
Many Satanists do not worship Satan at all, that's a common misconception. Many Satanists are in fact atheists who feel that man is the highest form of creation.
Truly, if you're going to try to teach people on here about different religions it would help if you knew more about the subject you were trying to teach.
