Can men practice Witchcraft? As a straight man, Ive never really seen anything to show that we'd/I'd be welcome.

I must admit that if someone were to ask me the physical sex of the practitioner that immediately comes to mind when I think of Witches is: female.

Likewise, what immediately comes to mind when I think of Wizards is: male.

For me, those associations are based upon my offline experience with practitioners.

I honestly know do not know any dudes (and I mean NONE) offline who practice Witchcraft (and/or Wicca). All the people that I know offline who really do practice (not merely study and read the various books about) Witchcraft and Wicca are dudettes.

Likewise: I honestly know do not know any dudettes (and I mean NONE) offline who practice Wizardry. All the people that I know offline who really do practice (not merely study and read the various books about) Wizardry are dudes.

My online experience is entirely different.

This does not mean that I think that no men can be Witches, and that no women can be Wizards, offline. In theory that is possible. However, that theory just does not match my offline experience to date.
