Is Anyone Here Non Christian?

I've known a lot of pagans in my time. I've been into the Qabbalah for years. Something that always kind of irked me was that so many people like to give themselves these grandiose titles like \"High Priestess\", when all they really are is leader of a little esoteric chess club.

I knew someone once who claimed to be a Wiccan 'High Pristess', yet she also went on about being a devout Satanist, too. She turned out to be a really nasty piece of work who took pleasure in stirring up trouble between people.

That was a real wake-up call for me about being very cautious about taking these glamorous, self-assigned titles seriously.

And BTW I declare myself King of my street...

Well one thing the "grandiose title" is only distinction between those Wiccan who practice solitarily in which case they are their own priest or priestess and those who lead a group. The high doesnt mean above others. A high priest and high priestess are not more powerful or better than the others. Also one who gets the title high priest or priestess cant do so unless they have been initiated into a Wiccan tradition and worked their way up to the third degree. If they havent reached the third degree and call them selves a high priest or priestess then their lying to you or they dont know much about Wicca at all and thus arent Wiccan. That woman your explaining wasn't a Wiccan. She might have said she was a Wiccan but Wiccans don't worship Satan nor are we allowed to do harm to others. Since she seems to have done both she was not a Wiccan. Please don't judge an entire community or faith based on what you have seen a hand full of people do. I could just as easily say bad things about any religion or even atheist. Sorry I don't mean to sound mean but I dont like it when people disrespect my beliefs.
