I can name someone--maybe not the same someone, but definitely someone--for every single point on there to whom that would apply. :lol:

A few of my personal favs from that list...


- You don't keep your hammer in the toolbox. :bigredgri

- The last time Jehovah Witnesses came to your house they ran away so fast they forgot to leave any pamphlets behind. :clapping: :giggle:

- You know that Ragnarok is not a heavy metal band. :thumbsup:

- The phrase "It's Hammer Time" brings up thoughts of Thor :viking:

- That funny feeling in your stomach whenever you'd go to church as a kid-it wasn't a breakfast gone bad. It was a sign. :smile:

- You greatly enjoy explaining your religion to the Mormon missionaries who knock on your door. (Let's face it, the confused looks on their faces were priceless.) :fishsmack

My faves are:


When you're sworn in in court, you bring your own grimoire.
You have friends who say they are elves. You believe them.
Upon dying, your first thought is, "Darn it, not AGAIN."
In Religion 100, you were disappointed because they didn't cover YOUR gods. (so true, I'm in my REL class right now!)
You know that there is a right way and a wrong way to draw a pentacle. You can explain the difference.
You understand the symbolism behind a maypole.
When someone says they have a headache, you pull out White Willow Bark and a Crystal Healing Kit.
Your candles outnumber your light bulbs.
You really do wonder why the faeries keep hiding from you... after all, you're one of them.
You keep getting mistaken by religious zealots for someone Satanic, or you are directly called by these same zealots a "devil-worshipper" or some such.
You constantly wonder why all the decent people in the world are in hiding.
You have argued for the acceptance of Paganism as a mainstream religion.
You write your philosophy papers comparing the beliefs of Gerald Gardner and Aleister Crowley.
When people ask "What's Wicca?" you are genuninely shocked that they have never heard of it.
You argue that we are in cyclical time and not linear time.
You know that the Swastika was not invented by Hitler.
You think there's something suspiciously pagan about the way Mary Poppins comes and goes with the directions of the wind.
You think a South Park episode making fun of Wiccans would be really really funny.

My Favs also:thumbsup: I know the joys of seeing the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons confused faces. That IS FUN!:cool:

[DiscordianKitten]

Loved this. These are the ones that apply most to me:

4. When asked if you believe in God, you ask, "Which one?"
(Either that or "Yes, but she's a crazy woman")
5. You know what "widdershins" means. You apply it.
6. You have an entire spice cabinet and you don't cook. You know that laurel and bay leaves are the same thing.
14. You commit blasphemy in the plural.
(Started this one at 13. Terry Pratchett's influence.)
19. In Religion 100, you were disappointed because they didn't cover YOUR gods.
(Bastards never mention Eris :()
24. Painting yourself blue, spiking your hair, and dancing naked around a bonfire sounds like large amounts of fun.
25. You've seen "The Craft." You know where they were making stuff up in "The Craft." You have explained this to other people. You can do it better than they did it in "The Craft." You know it's a load of crap.
(Christ I can do this with any slightly magical movie or book)
26. You understand the symbolism behind a maypole.
(With embarrassing accuracy. I still can't see one without s******ing.)
35. Your candles outnumber your light bulbs.
41. You keep getting mistaken by religious zealots for someone Satanic, or you are directly called by these same zealots a "devil-worshipper" or some such.
49. Your friends talk about "WitchCraft" or "The Occult" among themselves and then aren't surprised when you give them a referenced, coherent, well-formed explanation for whatever they were talking about at the time, from memory.
52. You have argued for the acceptance of Paganism as a mainstream religion.
55. When people ask "What's Wicca?" you are genuninely shocked that they have never heard of it.
57. You can point out exactly where Silver RavenWolf is inaccurate.
(Hahahahahahaha! I even write in the margins of her books.)
57. You know that Ragnarok is not a heavy metal band.
74. You know that the Swastika was not invented by Hitler.
80. You don't want to go to Hel, since it's such a dark, cold and dreary place. Valhalla is better.
85. The last time a screaming, proselytizing, evangelist Christian fundie told you that you were going to hell, you just gave him a big hug and told him you hoped you could be roommates when that happened.
(^^ My all-time favourite.)
88. People look at the way you're dressed and say "Nice Halloween costume!" but you're wearing your everyday clothes and jewelry.
94. You see people reading various pagan literature and feel compelled to give commentary.
97. You think a South Park episode making fun of Wiccans would be really really funny.
98. ... and you've written scripts for such an episode, but none of your friends got the humor.
99. You greatly enjoy explaining your religion to the Mormon missionaries who knock on your door. (Let's face it, the confused looks on their faces were priceless.)
(Just get me started on Discordianism. I can confuse people for hours.)
103. You have close to a dozen (or more) quick, witty and/or cutting remarks at the ready whenever you might be asked if you're a good witch or an evil one.
105. If getting wet isn't an option and you've forgotten your raincoat or umbrella, you walk between the raindrops. That is, if the rain won't hold up a couple of minutes just for your sake.
(I can't do that one, but my grandfather was famed for it.)

"You speak to cats and understand whay they say" - my cat Xena and I have an almost telepathic bond with each other. :smileroll I swear, cats could give humans a lesson or two in the art of sarcasm.

[calamedes]

Does talking to a dog count? I've found that my old dog was like the friend I never had- she always agreed with me :)
