About this website
Welcome to my website. Most of you will no doubt note theincorrect spelling of my tile for this site"Controverscial.com?" Well no it is not a mistake, quite simplysomebody was already using the correct spelling, so I added the letter"c" after the "s" to make a sound-a-like. Okay with thatout of the way, for ease of navigation I have included all the "SiteContents" with links to all pages at the bottom of each page, so if youhaven't been here before or are looking for something in particular, this wouldbe a good place for you to start. If you have any questions or quires, youcan contact me personally at the email address below the Site Contents. Inthe meantime here's just some of the things you will find here:
Personal Pages
These pages contain all my personal detailsand include: A brief biography featuring "Ben"my dog, my past friend and companion. The place where I live and my familyhistory (some of these may take alittle time to load):
My Personal Page/ MyPlace in England / My Family Tree (Ancestry)
Wicca/Witchcraft/Paganism
These pages contain information about"Wicca", "Witchcraft" and Paganism. Religion down through theages has always caused controversy, no less so in this day and age. It wasmy intention on these pages to write an exposé on the evils associated withWicca/Witchcraft, Paganism, Satanism and the Black Arts, but like many misinformedpeople, I had a preconceived view of the subject. I had expected to bewriting about Ritual Sacrifices, Sexual Orgies and Evil Spells etc. Howwrong I was.
I am now taking an activeinterest in "Wicca", "Witchcraft"and "Paganism",and while I don't necessarilyconsider myself a "Witch", I do practice some elementsof the craft that I feel benefits my beliefs and personal circumstances. Take a look and experiencesome true facts about witchcraft as I strive learnabout it myself.
This was how I started some years ago and then after starting this website,due to the amount offcomments being made in my Guest Book, I decided to set up a placewere people could go to discuss, ask questions, share opinions,seek further information and share their own experiences with other like mindedpeople. Indeed it is also be a place were people cansubmit their own articles for inclusion in this website, and by doing so help to makethis website a truly interactive one by expandingits knowledge base to include all aspects of Wicca/Witchcraft/Paganism and Magick.
