Dedicant- You are probably only beginning to earth yourself in the concepts of Witchcraft.  So the idea that Witchcraft is all love and light is probably reassuring at the moment.  You are still recovering from that feeling of being hung upside down when you realised Witchcraft was your path.  Keep reading and do not be afraid to have opinions!
