    Erin Dragonsong

    Wow...she is just soaking in New Age-y jargon. 'Once you are free of the limited brain-mind'? I think I'd need illegal substances for that... She says, 'Astonishingly, it appears that the building blocks that make up atoms are not really particles at all. They are nothing more than energy...

    New Wiccan Seeking Help

    Got one here! XD Since you're just starting out, Taylor, I'll recommend the authors I turned to when I started walking the path: Scott Cunningham gives an excellent overview of just what Wicca is 'all about', while Starhawk is a very respected Pagan author, specializing in goddess religions and...

    Why Did Christians Quit Burning Witches?

    There are lots of possible reasons to start, but the primary reason was simple: Land. In most cases, the supposed 'witches' were widows, and the land that they owned was, typically, a widow's inheritance or a gift. When the witch was inevitably found 'guilty', the land was returned to the...

    Who is Claiming that Humans are Gods

    Not quite understanding....

    It can, indeed, be dangerous -- most Wiccans believe in a form of 'karmic payback' for our actions; if it's 'dark' in intent, then watch out, because karma wears steel-toes! :) Now, not all Wiccans are 'nice' people -- but neither are all Christians, or members of other faiths. We generally...

    Anti-Fluffybunny-ism

    Guilty as charged -- I was a 'scratchy badger' in my younger days, muttering dire imprecations about 'fluffy bunnies' and 'wanna-bes'. Luckily, I grew out of that phase. I consider 'fluffy bunnies'to be 'learners' -- and especially so in the case of teenagers, who are heavily influenced by...

    Should I wear my pentgram to work?

    I wear mine to work, under my shirt. It's enough to know that it's there, reminding me of my commitment to the Gods. Wearing it in the open would make many people uncomfortable -- while we've recieved a fair amount of exposure in the past few years (particularly with Roberta Stewart's...
