Absolutely incorrect...but you are so good at making statements like this... [thumbup]
Unconventional definition:
not based on or conforming to what is generally done or believed: "his unconventional approach to life"
Are you suggesting that all people practice witchcraft and magick?
1. Witchcraft is an art and practice ( praxis ) which has extremely little to do with spiritual knowledge ,
if anything at all to do with it...it is the Sublime Art of altering reality , which can encompass boon ,
bind , or bane , for starters...it can be basic kitchen witchery ( still very deep and complex ) , all
the way to opening portals between dimensions...and accessing powers and communing with spirits...
Or gods and goddesses , but not for "spiritual knowledge" 999 times out of 1000...
2. Paganism , is a name which is an umbrella term for many , many , many traditions...
Some would seek "spiritual knowledge" , many do not...some pagans are total atheists...
As far as unconventional...Christianity was considered a blasphemous cult , in it's early years...
It became mainstream , only by the imposition and conversion by force , of which it was so fond... [wink]
It would behoove you to do some research before making absurd statements... [thumbup]
