Okay I kinda get where he is coming from with the

"And by real witches, i mean witches who have spirits or demons as their mentors. I know there are witches who claims to be a witch just because they read a book about witchcraft..I'm sorry but those types are not genuine witch. They are of course FAKE."

Kinda like saying you are all of a sudden black just because you've flipped past BET. But there is no truth to the fact that you need some spirit teaching you magick, you can learn from self experiences and other witches, mages, wizards etc. Picking up a book on witch craft doesn't make you a witch, but in time after you've gained lots of knowledge and have come into your power and are working magick/witchcraft... then YOU ARE A WITCH! You don't need some omnipotent deity to tell you that you are a witch. You don't need some sort of evolved astral parasite sucking on your magickal workings to tell you that you are a witch while it puts you a foot deeper in the grave. Oh excuse me spirit guide... word to the wise, if a stranger comes up to you and offers you candy... check his credentials.

I share Rick's view lol that was just a long way to say "I concur!"

I read the guys blog.

I am skeptical of anyone who calling others fake and trying to assert his realness.

Also his blog about putting a broomstick upside down by the door etc. sounds like total folklore BS.
