do people here give themselves titles like, witch or wizard? personally i dont give myself a title, because of the perception in the world, if you declare yourself a witch you are crazy and if you declare yourself a mage you are from DD and if a wizard you are harry potter we cant win. thats why all the time when people ask me my religion or hobby i would say occult and then feel the need to explain myself the difference between witchcraft and harry potter to avoid mocking remarks, and the impression that i'm crazy and people still think that does anyone else have this problem too?
