I am extremely irritated by people's views of witchcraft. Why does everyone assume witchcraft causes harm? It is no worse than any other religion and centres around protecting the environment, celebrating individuality and rediscovering our in-built powers which have been suppressed over the years. Why is this harmful?

People should be able to express themselves, especially in a vibrant place such as Brighton.

Parents should not be concerned if their children become interested in Wicca. It means they probably have a spiritual, philosophical and intelligent child.

If it were any other religion it would be more acceptable. Why is this? Bad feelings against witchcraft is just the same as prejudice against any other religion.
