    		 So... is anyone any of the above? I am interested to know.
    There is a huge following of witchcraft in Australia and although I am not a witch per se, I do know some people who follow the beliefs of wicca.

    If you are a witch, wiccan or pagan please share a little of your philospohy.

    		 For that matter, what's the score on shamans, wizards, and soothsayers?

    		 I am not a witch who does spells. My opinion on witchcraft is if you want a spell to work, you don't have to say a set formula under the full moon; just make your demand and pay for it in blood. Not like sacraficing a chicken or anything, but be prepared to suffer hardship in exchange for your demand. I have only been motivated twice to do this and the 'paying thrice for your demand' applied to me, but overall the end result was worth it. So there you have it.

    I have a friend who is into modern witchcraft like lighting candles and mixing herbs on the full tide and she once asked my view on the subject. I think she was not prepared for my view on sacrafice. You can't want something to happen badly and not pay a price for it.

    My husband knew a 'witch' who said the three times rule never applied to her and after she did some spell for improving her life, she got pregnant. With triplets. Har har!

    But I don't really follow witchcraft anymore. My beliefs have wandered elsewhere.

    		 cool, what do they affiliate with?
    It's allright not to have fixed beliefs. The term agnostic would apply to you- you believe in something, you just don't know what it's called or what it is yet.

    You can still join the Freemasons! The only people they refuse membership to are athiests.

    		 Allrighty to answer you...
    People call themselves pagans in a widespread belief system that stems from earth-based magics like the power of forests as living things, the power of the tides etc. There are soothsayers, there are druids (a commune of them live about 30km from me in the hills of course) and there are plain old wiccans who are into moon mother worship, and witches of various denominations. I am not an expert in any of them.

    Agnostics recognise there is a 'higher being' or power but you don't know what it's called, but believe there is one out there. It differs to atheism in the fact aethiests don't believe in a god or you go to heaven/reincarnated/hell but you close your eyes, die and that's it forever. I am an agnostic myself but am leaning towards Buddhism but am not enlightened enough to call myself one. As I've stated before I like eating animals too much to give it up, a requirement for most sects of Buddhism.

    Freemasons, when they join the ranks, must pledge a vow to the Universal Architect as a supreme being and know-it-all. That's why athiests can't join, because they don't believe in a god. The Architect is a name that encompases any god. Talk of politics and religion are not allowed inside the lodge as to avoid arguments. How do I know? I work with a lot of Masons who these days happily discuss what goes on, and my dad had been seriously approached twice to join and spent a few nights as a guest.

    I believe that the beliefs and imagery of Paganism is beautiful, but I don't believe in it. It makes good fiction, though.
