Just Why Is It?????

Could it be because those in the Wiccan way of life are more natural or earthy? It seems that the mylot members who are pagan or Wiccan are more in tune with their surroundings, and more free. I can't really put into words what I mean by free. I'm not talking hippie... Perhaps I'm not making much sense.

Well... I had long hair for 43 years and I will go to my grave with long hair.

It started in 1965 with the Beatles and just got worse with the hippie movement in 67.

For me... it has been most of all a form of sticking it to the establishment.
It did not achieve anything...
But it did piss off a lot of people with my refusal to conform "Men should wear short hair".
I dare to be different...
And that scare the sh.t out of people.
I love scaring the sh.t out of people... lol

My beliefs have nothing to do with me having long hair. My hair is currently down to my waist, but only because my husband asked me to grow it long after my last haircut (which was shoulder length). As he loves it when I have long hair I agreed to it.

I know many pagans that have short hair and yes some of them are women LOL
I personally have long hair but it has nothing to do with my beleifs
i just like long hair
I like the versitality of it
you can put it up a hundred ways or you can just let it hang
I love the way it feels when the wind blows through it
I love how it feels as it falls down my shoulders and back
my husband loves how it feels as it falls on his skin too

While I am not a pagan/wiccan person nor a Native American I do have long hair and have had my hair long most of my life. I simply like long hair.

i'm part native myself-and my grandmother always used to say "your strength is in your hair".my hair is hip length now itself,and i refuse to cut it as well.

come to think of it..i only ever knew one short haired witch-but that wasn't her choice.that was a bad child cutting mommy's hair when she took a nap.

I never thought of it, but you're right! The media does seem to mostly portray witches with long hair, with a handful of exceptions. Did you ever see any reruns of the old comedy, 'Bewitched'? There were several short-haired witches in that.

I'm also friends with several wiccan women, two of whom are priestesses, and both have short hair. Both however wear it in a natural style, meaning no perms or dyes. Maybe the naturalness of long hair is what ties it's appeal to the pagan/wiccan image, since both are centered around nature?

You are pagan/wiccan too are you? I did not know that. I have been watching a ghost hunting programme all week in UK called "Most Haunted" and it has been running live. My kids have taken a bit of an interest in it and the other night this Most Haunted "apparently" had spirits of witches with them. Now my 6 year old son was watching and he was talking about witches and how they look, to his perception a witch is an old haggy woman with warts and long hair, not just long hair. I tried to explain to him that this was not true and told him that a lot of my friends that I talk to on myLot were witches and that they did not look like that. He did not believe me at all, so sorry about that but my son thinks that not only do you all have long hair, you have warts and wrinkles too!

I am not a witch, but I've been called a word that rhymes with it! LOL
My hair is long and undyed, and also no products are used to style it. I am technically a Catholic, but my sensibilities seem to line up a lot more with those of people from the Pagan/Wiccan community - respect nature, don't try to force your beliefs down other people's throats, what you do gets returned back to you many times over (good or bad) and my favorite, "if it harm none...".
At 36 years old my long hair is nearly completely white, so I suspect I look more like the stereotype cartoon of a witch than most people, I am just missing the green skin and wart on my nose LOL.

Well, I am pagan, and my hair is short. It was long when I was young mainly because my parents wouldn't allow me to cut it. When I was about 12 they finally let me cut it to shoulder length. My hair if baby fine and the tangles were torturous. Since that time it has been anywhere from just past my shoulders to cropped to a spiky style. I just like for it to be easy to care for. It doesn't have anything to do with my religious beliefs.
