Have you been accused by other pagans of being fluffy? Or are you getting sick of all the fluffyness that has been infiltrating the pagan scene since being pagan has become more socially acceptable?

Have you never heard the word fluffy used in this context but still wish to know whether you fall into that category? Now you can find out once and for all if you are fluffy or not. All you have to do is determine the response that it closest to your belief, and then add up the points.

PLEASE NOTE there are negative scores as well as positive scores so you might have to do some subtracting as well....... proceed to the first question....

1. Runes are:

a) nice symbols invented by the Celts who also built stonehenge and were very very nice people who were raped and pillaged by the nasty Vikings who also stole their runes (15 points)

b) a very powerful magical system which originates from the ancient Teutonic cultures (0 points)

c) not what I would get into because they can be and often are used for evil (10 points)

d) an ancient alphabet that is used for divination and you can also put them on candles for meditation for good luck and things like that. (5 points)

2. Faery Wicca is...

a) a progressive wiccan tradition described by Starhawk based on what it is thought that the Celts may have thought of the indigenous Britons (who they may possibly have thought were magical beings of some sort - or that's the theory, anyway) (0 points)

b) all about the nice little people who live at the bottom of the garden (10 points)

c) what I'm into because it's all about worshipping the light and there isn't any dark side because the fairies are very nice and kind and wouldn't hurt anybody you know (20 points)

3. What is your opinion of Thelema?

a) I don't know what Thelema is (2 points)

b) evil evil evil evil evil!!!!!! it's the religion started by the nasty satanist Aleister Crowley and he was so totally evil, he sacrificed ten thousand baby boys!!! and used black magick so no-one found out!!! (15 points)

c) very dark, and dangerous. I knew someone who used to know a Thelemite and apparently he was really weird and had, like, a really dodgy aura and he said some really odd things (10 points)

d) I'm a Thelemite so obviously I have a favorable opinion of it. (minus 5 points)

e) It's not my path, but I have a lot of respect for it. (minus 5 points)

f) it can't be that nice because it doesn't say "an it harm none" it just says "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" (7 points)

4. Someone accuses you of being a black magician. your response is....

a) you laugh, but don't say anything (minus 10 points)

b) "oh no, I'm a white magician! I only work with the light and good forces. I'd never ever work with evil forces!" (20 points)

c) "magick is neither black nor white, it can be used for good or for evil, and before you say anything, I follow an ethical code which prevents me from using it for evil." (0 points)

d) as c), but you leave out the stuff about the ethical code, not because you don't have any ethics, but because you can't be bothered to point it out to idiots who assume the worst of you on no evidence whatsoever. (minus 5 points)

e) "what the hell's ethnic origin got to do with anything???!!!!!" (5 points, or minus 10 if you were being sarcastic)

f) you launch into an explanation of why "good" and "evil" are inadequate concepts but you go way beyond their ability to comprehend you before you get onto the fact that magick is a neutral force and cannot be described as either black or white, even if such things were adequate terms. (minus 7 points)

5. When you choose a book on magick do you....

a) check the cover, title and blurb to make sure that there is nothing suggesting involvement with dark forces (20 points)

b) go for an author that your friends think is really good (7 points)

c) you read all the books available on a given subject and then make up your own opinion (minus 5 points)

d) go for one that will tell you what you want to know straight away without having to read through all kinds of discussion on boring stuff like free will. (20 points)

e) read the forewords of all the books available, do a search on the Internet, ask friends who know about the subject to recommend a few titles and then read the books that you feel most drawn to (0 points)

6. Fluffy pink instant magick spell books are....

a) utterly despicable! You'd call for them to be banned if it weren't for the fact that you don't believe in censorship (minus 5 points)

b) hilariously funny. You and your friends regularly go to the new age sections of mainstream bookshops in order to take the blatant piss out of them, and delight in inadvertently scaring all the new agers who take you for being evil black magicians (minus 15 points)

c) the only books with a proper ethical code because they firmly state the thousand fold law of Karma instead of having pages and pages of waffle about interfering with people's free will which is only an excuse for black magicians to do black magick anyway (25 points)

d) harmless, you suppose, and they might spark an interest in some people who will then graduate onto proper books about witchcraft (0 points)

7. your familiar....

a) is a fwuffy puddy cat called Mr Fwuffykins who is your high priest and who is very very nice and kind and cuddly, - except when he broke both your legs in a freak accident (30 points)

b) frequently gets you in trouble because it eats other people's familiars at rituals and that (minus 15 points)

c) is a bunny wabbit (10 points)

d) none of the above (0 points)

8. The history of Wicca is:

a) It was started in the 1950's by an OTO initiate called Gerald Gardner. How much relation it has with traditional witchcraft is uncertain. However, the strength of a system depends upon whether it works or not rather than where it came from. (0 points)

b) It is a revival of what is known about traditional witchcraft, although there are other influences as well. (5 points)

c) It was officially started in the 1950's, but is a continuation of one form of traditional witchcraft. (10 points)

d) It dates back to the dawn of civilization and has continued in secret(until the 1950's when it went public) in an unbroken tradition. All the stuff about it being influenced by Thelma and Ceremonial Magick is just lies made up by Thelemites cause they're nasty and jealous cause their religion was invented by Aleister Crowley and so not as valid as an ancient tradition like Wicca. (20 points)

e) It started in my coven in the 11th century, (we have hereditary high priestesses you know) when several witches that were fleeing persecution got together and pooled their knowledge and started a secret tradition called Wicca that's so secret I can't tell you anything else about it. Except a silly man called Gerald Gardener made up a fake version which is rubbish. (30 points)

9. The stories about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are

a) myths, with probably some basis in reality, like there probably was a king Arthur and a round table and some knights. (0 points)

b) beautiful, inspiring stories, who cares if they're real or not? (0 points)

c) I know they're true because my High Priestess has astrally projected back in time and talked to Guinevere and she told me that she said it's all true (20 points)

d) literally true, and anyone who says they're not is evil. (15 points)

10. Reason is...

a) essential. Yet it is also essential that it is used appropriately, as there are times when reason will not serve you. (0 points)

b) really bad for the intuition, you know. If you want to be intuitive you have to shut down the boring logical parts of the brain that do reason. Otherwise you'll end up like the scientists. Really boring and not intuitive. (15 points)

c) Something that we never do in the Coven of the White Light of the Nice Pretty Goddess of the Fairy Elf People because our High Priestess says it's bad and only evil people use reason because it turns people onto the Dark Path of the Evil Dark Ones. (30 points)

11. The Wiccan Rede is...

a) if it harms none, do what you will. (0 points)

b) a simplified version of the Law of Thelema (minus 5 points)

c) an ye harmeth none, do whatte ye wille - or any other grammatically incorrect attempt at old English. (10 points)

e) really easy to live with most of the time because I only work with the light side, but when I see the bitch woman that runs that other coven who's really really horrible and bitchy (I recon her coven do black magick or something, you know!) I find I just can't control myself and the only way I can avoid slapping her face is to be really really bitchy to her and to keep on slagging off her coven and her ability to do magic and, well, anything else that comes to mind...(20 points)

12. Magick is sometimes spelled with a "k" on the end because....

a) Aleister Crowley changed the spelling for numerological reasons, and so that magick could be distinguished from pulling rabbits out of hats (0 points)

b) its the archaic way of spelling magic (5 points)

c) if it's spelled "magick" then it must be black magic because only black magicians spell it that way. People who work with the Light don't need to change the spelling because we've got nothing to hide and in any case, it looks spooky with a "k" on the end. (20 points)

d) the people who spell it that way just want to make themselves look big and scare people. (10 points)

Scores....

-25 or less - not only are you not fluffy, but you positively delight in scaring the fluffies. Now that's not very nice, is it ;-)

zero or less - you are not fluffy

2 points - you are not fluffy but you don't know what Thelema is. Never mind, you might want to read it some time, just to see if you like it, but then I would say that, wouldn't I ;-)

0 - 25 - possibly you got a few stray fluffy points due to minor misunderstandings or other such trivial things. (or having bunny wabbit as a familiar) It's not really much to worry about if you read widely and stay true to yourself

25 - 70 - you are approaching the realms of fluffydom here... possibly you have been mislead by reading too many of the wrong kind of books. Read some Crowley or some stuff on Chaos Magick just to get a broader view of things. You don't have to agree with what they say, and they won't turn you onto the "dark path" just by reading them.... unless, of course, it's in accordance with your true will to be on the "dark path"...... *evil laugh*

70 or above - you are a hardcore fluffy, possibly irrevocably so. Surely it isn't in accordance with your true will to be this way?

150 or above - you scare me. you seriously scare me you do. No-one could possibly be that fluffy. I BANISH YOU, CHORONZON!!!!! *does banishing ritual then runs away crying for mummy*
