I have never been on the receiving end of this, you understand, but some of the things I keep hearing about from friends include:
* "Otherkin"; people who honestly believe that they are, in some way, dragons, unicorns, vampires or other bizarre creatures. * Apparently someone went up to a friend of mine and asked if there was a spell to change her hair colour, like in "The Craft". Said friend gave said fluffy directions to the hair colourant aisle at Boots. * "I'm a Wicca but I don't do magic; that's not what it's about". Um ... yes it is? * The people who take those "Titania's Book of Spells" things seriously.
So yeah. One day I will meet an actual fluffy and I'm thinking I might use logic and make their head explode.

Reclaim Paganism!
