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.

With Harry Potter around, I think it's now a phase for both girls and boys.

Guys go through that phase, too. Only, they tend to end up growing into big, middle aged balding men in funny aprons standing in big stone temples with chequerboard tiled floors with one leg of their their trousers rolled up, and calling the Chirf Superintendent "Master".

Oh, it's totally a silly teenage thing. Gals probably get into it a little more a little more than guys (maybe because hormones, menstruation, etc. make them a tad more irrational), but, y'know, everyone's searching for some sort of meaning at that point in their life (be it in witchcraft, heavy metal, or masturbation).

doesn't everyone _want_ to be weird at some point? Is that the age where we start carving out our own individuality, based on difference?

You got the album, my dear? That's excellent.

I went through the exact same thing. I think maybe it was Harry Potter's fault; I did a lot of role-playing and writing based on that series.
