What is with you people?
Ok, get this;
Neo-Pagans are known for being accepting of unusual concepts. Many believe in magic. Many believe in spirits, ghosts, and the like, many believe in fantastic things like dragons and faeries. And those who do not, they don't go around attacking those who do.
Let Lady Fairy-Fay Whatshername say she's got dragons guarding her house, and even those who do not believe go "that's nice" and go on. Let someone say they've spoken to and heard faeries in the woods, and they'll be listened to.
And if a friend to told you they were walking along the street and felt a that something was going on at a house, and they were bold enough to go knock on the door, and found that a coven was holding circle in the living room, you might be a little surprised but you certainly wouldn't tell them they were full of shit.
And if you were in a convenience store and got a "feeling" there was something very dangerous about to happen, and left, only to find later the store had been held up right after you left, would that really be such a shock to your Pagan and Magical beliefs?
And lastly, if someone tells you they were out driving in the country, and pulled into a strange driveway, and a guy came out of the house with a gun, and your friend left quickly, would you call him a liar?
So what is it specifically about my experiences in my previous posts that make them so hard to believe? I have done nothing but state what I did and saw and felt, and what conclusions I made from those experiences. Yet I've got tons of snarky Pagans calling bullshit all over me. What gives? At what point did what I say go beyond the ability of a Neo-Pagan to believe?
It's not going to change what I know I did and saw, but I think everyone here deserves to know what they should keep to themselves, lest they suffer the same reaction I have.
