What is the definition of a fluff bunny?
Well, people tend
to over use this word... or should I say, are too EAGER to
use this word. There are many older pagan who fling this word
around to anyone younger than them, who they don't think are
worthy of being titled a Pagan, Wiccan or whatever. We should
always keep in mind everyone has to start somewhere, even
if it is on the opposite side! But, here for everyone's pleasure
is the list of what actually makes up a fluff bunny.
- They tend to brag
Fluff bunny's have a dirty habit of reading something that
they think is cool and then telling the rest of the world
about it. They like telling people that they are a "witch",
they like talking about "cool witchcraft" things...
and try to make it out like "the craft". Which
really goes against one of the main points of view - keep
it to yourself, drawing attention to yourself will only
cause trouble, especially if you don't fully know what your
talking about.
- They like to look
scary*
These are generally the ones who always go around in public
places, in clothes they wear for show. These are probably
their only set of "scary" clothes... they like
to give evil looks, wear dark make up, cover themselves
in huge-ass pentacles and relish at the thought of making
everyone else think they are "evil". *This doesn't
always count for everyone, some people feel more comfortable
in black, but we all know that we need some colour in our
lives to promote a healthier outlook, something to break
that "DEAD" - "straight out of the coffin"
look.
- They still label magick
as "White" and "Black"
As many know, magick has no colour, but, there is the occasional
fluffy out there who still insists on calling it "White
magick", etc. These people haven't realised that life
is balance, therefore magick is too. If they seriously were
a "White *cough cough* Witch" they'd be angels
cause, not a nasty thought or action would they do! They
are just lying to themselves because there is no such thing!
- They haven't grown
up
Just the past points alone would show their maturity level,
but there is still the occasional adult fluffy! They still
live in the land of glitter and fairy floss... a big fluffy
cloud where all the fluffy's live. They still have not realised
that "The Craft" was made in Hollywood, based
on some Fiction Story from the land of fairy tales... they
might as well admit they still believe in the tooth fairy
(No pun at Fae followers) or Santa. They still think that
they can just say a few words, wave a wand and a glitter
swirl will answer all of their prayers - just like that.
- They don't do ritual
They don't realise the stuff that dribbles on before the
"hocus pocus" words have some relevance, like
the fact that meditation - the ability to clear the mind
and focus energy must be understood and mastered before
even looking at "Spells". They think that all
of the magickal herbs and thingy-doo-dahs that they throw
together know exactly what to do themselves! I mean, who
needs to put in any energy, these things have brains! They
can work it out for themselves!... mmm.. yeah right.
- They are surrounded
by all things cheap and fake
This is where I bring in the plastic pentacle and don't
get me started on that! They are quick to jump on the neo-pagan
bandwagon, they buy the crappy books and anything with a
hint of mystics. They're the ones keeping the frauds cashing
in on a fad, rolling in the $$$.
I agree with
pretty much everything you said there. although I do have
to say, I don't do ritual. I am pagan but not wiccan. I have
my own beliefs. - Anon.
- This is a
relivant point, I understand that many people who are still
in the learning process are uneasy with full rituals and at
times the rituals that we read can be a little daunting, which
is why it is always best to start small and work your way
up - do things your own way. And yes, there are pagans out
there who dont do spells, they just follow the lifestyle principals.

Thank you for
this great site, Ive just recently began being a wiccan and
my sister I guess you could call her a "fluffbunny"
lol is convinced I'm all black magick, she keeps telling me
shes going to curse me and blah blah what can I do to make
her SHUT UP - Kasey.
Well Kasey,
there are always a few who are going to spoil it, and there
is not a lot you can do about it. You can only try to educate
her by showing her some decent books or sending her to pages
that have some idea what they are going on about (I suggest
the Witches Vox site). Until then just remind her that she
needs to grow up and if she ever wanted to really get involved
with paganism and witchy ways she would need to develop a
sense of maturity about it first. - Morgan
