L no.2 – ‘Lemme Tell You…’
No, really. Let me tell you.
Here are three audio surveys that were floating around on Tumblr about a month or two ago.
The first, ‘The Accent Meme’, has nothing to do with Paganism or Witchcraft, but it’s a fun ice-breaker, so I’m including it. The other two are written by a fellow Tumblr blogger, Asksecularwitch.
‘The Wickedly Witchy Audio Surveys’ are not short (both, roughly around 20 minutes), so don’t start them until you know you’ve got the time to listen! Haha! I apologize for the rambling, and encourage you guys to point out any mistakes I’ve made, or to discuss, in the comments, anything you think needs to be explored more deeply or corrected!
Again, thank you guys for being so understanding about my absence; I thought this would be a fun way to get back into the swing of things!

Wickedly Witchy Audio Survey – pt.1
SecularWitch: These are more or less directed at witches, if you’d like to do this as a pagan feel free to edit the questions or direct them towards a more pagan slant. 🙂 Just remember that this was orientated towards witches.
1. What is Witchcraft?
2. I heard that witches are anti-Christian, what is that about and are you?
3. Can you define what magic is?
4. Why do I see a lot of commentary about the roles of gender in Witchcraft?
5. How do you view death?
6. How do children play out in your witchcraft?
7. What is a ‘real’ witch?
8. How do you tell if someone is a witch?
9. What is the difference between a good witch and a bad witch?
10. Do you need really ornate or expensive tools in order to perform witchcraft?
11. Do you have an altar?
12. Are you scary (as a witch)?
13. Can you explain what the Astral Plane is, or what the word ‘astral’ means?
14. If I wanted you to do a spell for me, how could I get you to do it?
15. I looked up a spell but it said I needed to put some type of Oil on a candle. What does that mean and why are there all these different oils?
Wickedly Witchy Audio Survey – pt.2
“Back for the Majik!”
SecularWitch: As always, this survey is directed towards a Witchcraft slant. You can put this as a pagan slant, but it is originally for witchcraft.
- Is there any method to see if someone’s done witchcraft against you?
- For books on witchcraft – how can you tell if an author is a good author?
- Can witchcraft raise the dead?
- Do witches fly on brooms?
- Are male witches called ‘warlocks’?
- Why are there all these sites that keep saying that witches follow the Threefold law?
- Why do people keep interchanging witchcraft and wicca?
- Is witchcraft a religion?
- Do divinations really work?
- What are the Burning Times?
- Why do some witches work naked?
- Are there any rules in witchcraft?
- Do you have to be in a coven to be a witch?
- Where can I find Witchcraft spells?
- Isn’t there animal sacrifices in witchcraft?
If anyone else would like to take part in these surveys, make a Soundcloud account, or even do them by video on YouTube. You can answer them with text, of course, but where’s the fun in that?
A Changing Altar 
Accent Meme: I L-O-V-E this!!! Fun!!! You actually made me laugh out loud several times because I can relate to some of the comments you make…as for others, well, the answers are so uniquely you…love it!
Witchy: Wonderful answers! I especially like your description of witchcraft. Your answers overall were verrry interesting and, as usual, very honest. You’ve got a knack for projecting your individuality through both verbal and written communication.
I was pretty tired when I recorded those, so they aren’t my most poignant arguments, nor my most articulate speeches, but I think I did ok!
I’m just hoping that anything that gets pointed out to me is done respectfully, as those kinds of reactions and responses were part of the problem I described in my last post. But, well, I’m learning so I’ll be happy with having any responses!
I hear you!
