So I'm in the checkout lane at the grocery this evening and the 20 something guy who's ringing me up looks at my necklace and asks me "Is that one of those WITCHCRAFT stars? Now, my necklace is a star but not blatantly a pentagram, so I answer yes, it is. Now he asks me "So have you ever gotten a Ouija board to move on its own?" WTH?
Me: "Uh, not since I was a kid..."
Cashier Dude: "So it's not Luciferous? (seriously, he said Luciferous)
Me: "No, not at all."
Cashier Dude: "So how do I go about the whole Witchcraft thing?"
At this point, I'm not sure I f I should give him any info at all because it's pretty obvious he's extremely misinformed. So I tell him that's a very complex question and he should start by reading The Spiral Dance.
I had my two daughters with me and I was trying to get home as it was getting close to bed time. Did I give him the right place to start? I don't know, I hope so, I hope he's genuinely interested, or at least interested enough to realize how misinformed he is. Or maybe he's just going to tell his buddies tonight over a beer "I met a WITCH today."
My question is, How would you have handled Cashier Dude and his buddy, Bagger Boy who was just staring at his friend with his mouth open?
