Ok, I'm not sure whether to be annoyed or not, if the latter than i'm heartily amused at least.

Just read the latest study-group email from Pagan Magic and for the next fortnight we're learning about all the common paths that can be found, like shamanism, chaoism, wicca, etc.

First one's about Wicca. It gives an entire history for the path that, to be honest and fair, they can't be sure of and is technically the root of all the branches, not just that one, and then had the gall to say that witchcraft is either white or black.

Umm, no, my path is not either, it is both. Black is the absence of colour, white the presence of them all. They are completely general terms created to make the general populace feel better. Technically all magick is grey if they have to give it a colour. Besides, most witches don't hex unless it is absolutely deserved, and those nasty few that love nothing better than . . . well, let's just leave them be and we'll all live happily and, more importantly, long ;)

At least they got it right by saying that not all wiccans are witches, and not all witches wiccan. Most people don't take note of that fact :D

Yeah, as you can tell i get ridiculously stroppy about the colour-branding thing. Sorry folks. I will soon be coming to you with the properties of Jet so stay tuned ;)
