witchcraft, crazy witchcraft

[kleenexwoman]

I used to think I was weird because I wanted to be a witch when I was thirteen. Recently, people have told me that no, most girls go through this phase at some point in their adolescence. (I could ramble about the psychology behind this, but I think that it should be pretty obvious if you are a girl or know girls or have read books about them.)
Do all girls think this makes them weird? Why isn't this some sort of girly bonding thing?

"Hey, Heather, were you into witchcraft too when you were, like, in middle school?"
"Oh my gawd, I totally was! I went around, like, blighting crops and cursing cows to not give milk!"
"I put the pox on people! Oh, man, we were such dorks!"

okay 7th grade- kristen ventura and i had our own secret witch names and symbols to write the names. i was rose jasmine. she was mystical raindrop. we made potions and casted a love spell. we also had numerous seances and promised to visit each other if one of us died before the other.

Awww, you had a little coven! That's pretty cool. I didn't have anyone to be witchy with. I tried to cast weather spells on the soccer field so that gym would be cancelled, and thought that I had succeeded when it started to sprinkle when it was already a cloudy day.

I recall writing a bunch of stuff in runic when I was in eighth grade. Real runic, too, not just the fake Zep-runes that everyone practicies with. Oddly enough this phase coincided with my becoming an atheist or at least a strong agnostic, so I don't know what that means.
