A half-giant breaks down your door and tells you you are a wizard or a witch.
Later on, a wand magically chooses you, air moves your hair, and majestic music sounds around you.
Unfortunately, that is not how real life works.
My background
Maybe I forgot to mention that I am a Witch from Spain, and I don't know how much you know about Spanish culture, but I can sum it up by saying that religion (Christian religion) was very important until a few years ago.

What is WICCA? Wicca is an alternative minority "religion" formed by witches, it originally began in the U.K . in the 1940s. Wicca and Witchcraft are part of the larger contemporary pagan movement, which includes druids and heathens among others. All these spiritual paths, as we pagans refer to them, base their practices on pre-Christian religions and cultures. If I were to explain to you the more... technical part of it it would be something among the lines of: The religion differentiates itself from more mainstream religions, such as Christianity, by celebrating a Goddess as well as a God. In addition, Wicca lacks a formal institutional structure such as a church and puts more emphasis on ritual and direct spiritual experience than belief. We are not believers, we are practitioners . We do have one Golden Rule : “ Harm none and do as you will ,” and we really don't have a sacred book from which to take our beliefs. There are a few good reads out there, and I am pl
