Non-Christians only: I was accused of being a witch.

Christians consider any sort of spiritual practice outside of the confines of their own religious beliefs to be "witchcraft", so your assessment is worthless and irrelevant, especially considering that the OP specifically requested nonChristian answers (so they wouldn't be tainted with prejudice and bias.) Don't spam this thread any further.

@Madmogwai Even if it was "witchcraft", does that justify stalking, threats, harassment, etc.?
I sleep with men (a man anyway) and im not gay. @Sgt. Pepper is female too and married. So why the gay jibe?
Oh and btw. Most religion practice witchcraft, they just make it sound better by calling it worship and prayer

Exactly. Prayer is essentially spell casting.
The two aren't synonymous. Witchcraft and Mediumship are not the same thing. Their are different spiritual endeavors.

I would like to clarify that witchcraft also is not synonymous with prayer, spell-casting, etc. Witchcraft is a specific manner of magic (and even at that, some don't consider it to be magic). And it, fundamentally, is different from other forms of magic such as galdr.

Conducting a seance is not witchcraft.
seance: a meeting at which people attempt to make contact with the dead, especially through the agency of a medium.

witchcraft: the practice of magic, especially black magic; the use of spells.

This is a suspiciously Christian sentiment for someone who has their religion listed as
Theravada Buddhist.
