Experienced Wiccans: What's your favorite "Fluff Bunny" behavior?
Let me start off the list:
1. Quoting Cunningham or Ravenwolf to an Initiate to "prove" why You're Right!!
2. Getting mad at TV shows and movies for "misrepresenting your religion" when they're just fictional portrayals of witches.
3. Wearing all black all the time and dripping with 1 inch wide silver pentagrams in the grocery store.
4. Saying "Blessed Be!" constantly with no clue what it actually means.
What's YOUR fave fluffy behavior?
And to the poster who thinks this is an "insult" to new Wiccans, it's not. Being new doesn't equal being a fluffy bunny. Fluffy bunnies are WILLFULLY ignorant. They aren't simply new. They want Wicca to be something it's not and they REFUSE real education. Insulting the willfully ignorant is PERFECTLY in alignment with Wiccan values and in no way devalues new seekers. I accept new seekers to my coven all the time. But nice try, kiddo. Thanks for the link.

Hopping around in my back garden making my dogs angry.
Honestly, most "fluffy" behavior comes from ignorance rather than insolence. I don't have a huge problem with authors who "water down" their work for the masses; it is their way of being true to their oaths. It's up to the seeker to learn discernment and find the "good stuff".
Personally, as an "Old Skool Craft" type, I'm more irritated by the whole "old religion myths have been debunked" (as through fact and Truth are the same thing) and "one can practice Wicca and not Witchcraft" (as though raising the temple is not a magical act) that is so popular here. But even then, it doesn't affect MY Craft, so I'm not that irritated. ;D I love all you curmudgeonly old souls.

Oh, yeah-- the burning times is a good one. "Christians tortured and killed a bazillion Wiccans and that gives me a right to be terribly rude and hateful to Christians today!"
Questions like these:
How do I find my element?
What is a good spell to unleash my Wiccan powers?
My friend touched a voodoo doll charm at the mall and now I know she is possessed by the demon Pazuzu because she's cranky and bloated all week. How do I perform an exorcism? I'm Wiccan by the way.
I'm Wiccan. Will Jesus send me to hell?
I am a Buddhist Messianic Christian Wiccan, and my friend is a Hindu-Native American atheist Wiccan. We've been Wiccan for a whole 2 months now ever since we found spellsO'magic.com, how do we start a coven?

Claiming to be wiccan AND a vampire......or fairy.......or werewolf..........or mermaid.
Claiming to be a HIgh Priestess at the tender age of oooh - twelve? Funny how it's always the girls isn't it.
Claiming to be an expert whilst reading Cunningham/Ravenwolf and quoting it.
Claiming to be an expert spellcaster then asking for book references for 'new spells I haven't tried yet'
Claiming that Ghost Hunting is a big part of Wicca - is that a problem in your area too? Jeez leave em alone already the Dead have better things to do.
