I don't consider myself a witch because I don't engage in ritual, but...thought it might be interesting to answer them anyway. I am Pagan and that means a lot of the queries are appropriate to me as well.
June 26, 2004 - Wearing symbols in public
Do you wear any religious symbol jewelry/clothing? If so do you wear it openly in public?
I have recently decided I want to own pagan symbols to wear. I've had my eye on several items, such as triple Goddess moon pendant, Large Moon Pentacle Pendant and things like the witch's knot pentacle. I want to incorporate more of it into my jewerly creations as well. I have no shame about wearing such items and would do so proudly.
How do you feel about the issue of wearing religious symbols in schools and how some young teens are forced to remove their religious fashions?
All or nothing. If kid A can wear a cross then kid B damned well better be able to wear a pentacle.
Have you ever experienced a confrontation about wearing your jewlery in public? How did you handle the situation if so?
Nope, never had a problem. In fact, I try to always compliment fellow Pagans, Wiccans, Witches, etc. when I see them because I appreciate that they too are proud of their faith.
