Quote:And, if I remember in the dictionary correctly, man, apparently, the words “witchcraft” and “sorcery” simply mean the usual use of magic for evil purposes, and the words “sorcerer”, “sorceress”, and “witch” simply mean male and female practitioners of magic, used usually for evil purposes. And that is why I do not trust that kind of stuff being in my compo (much less do I even allow it, too), because, that tends to detract from something positive overall about my compo, in a way. Sorry about that. Sad

News to me. I practice witchcraft and I dont do it for evil purposes. *checks dictionary*

witch·craft
1. Magic; sorcery.
2. Wicca.
3. A magical or irresistible influence, attraction, or charm.

sor·cer·y
Use of supernatural power over others through the assistance of spirits; witchcraft.

In fact, Wiccans use magic, and are prohibited to use it for evil (The threefold rule states that what you do will come back to you threefold, hence if you do evil, it will return to you threefold. the Wiccan Rede states "An it harm none, do as ye will." in other words, do as you want as long as you dont harm anyone.)

Quote:As for halloween-based material, please remember that the reason why it is *clearly* not allowed in my compos is because, to be obvious (and sad to say, this is still true even today!), that tends to scare off and even frighten away at least some people viewing the projects that have that up there, as that kind of material tends to both create something needlessly inappropriate for at least some people and even help create an overall since and atmosphere of negativity and loss. I have been there, and know well enough that that doesn’t bring anything positive out of that. Ever.

The original halloween, or Samhain, was a beautiful holiday where the gods were thanked for the bountiful crops, and where many families prepared a feast in honor of those who had passed away. Sweets were set out for the souls of the children who were to return that night, where the veil between the living world and the dead world was the thinnest. It has no relation to the secular or Christian version of the holiday, which features scary creatures and other things. I have a powerpoint presention explaining the holiday if anyone or you are interested in seeing it.

Quote:And also, since the words “vampire” and “vampiress” tend to mean male and female undead-like beings that bite even the necks of victims and drink away their blood, even while the victim is asleep, too, I do not even trust them being in my compo at all either, nor do I even allow them too. You know why? Because it just tends to frighten off and even offend some other people and even give others some unwanted nightmares, as that kind of stuff presents something inappropriate (and even horrifying) to some.

I would like to think that everyone here on this forum is mature enough to know that these creatures are make-believe. If someone after the age of 10 is still having nightmares because they are scared of vampires or whatever, i recommend psychological help, now.

Quote:On the guaranteed positive side, you are clearly and *ABSOLUTELY ALLOWED* plenty of other beings in your project of my compo (including even NEW ones that was _absolutely_ forbidden from my previous compos, too!). Dragons, gryphons, any type of your own original animésque fantasy-based human-like/imaginative beings, leprechauns, catgirls, mermaids, centaurs, YOU NAME IT ON THAT HERE, YOU ARE SO WELCOME TO IT!! ^_- !! Simple as that, Adosorken. Simple as that.

At least you have progressed in that aspect.
