Okay, so if you're not following Wickerism, which authentic ancient pagan tradition do you follow? Do do you all of the animal sacrifices laid out in the Rig-Veda? How about those of the ancient Babylonians?

You're mixed up. I'm an electic pagan, and none of us sacrifice animals. True, we did a very long time ago, but Christains also sacrificed animals. Why would we sacrifice animals when they are sacred life forms?

Girl, death comes to everyone. Jesus will kill you sooner or later. Me too. If you are trying to say that your cult guarantees that no one dies, then you are obviously a liar.

Honestly, True Christians™ are the happiest people on earth. We are very optimistic and loving people, because we have Jesus Christ on our side.

Can't you give Jesus a chance?

I'll bet you daddy is doing plenty of praying to Jesus while he gets buggered all day and all night in prison.

Paganism is not a cult. It isn't a club or a fashion statement. It is a religon.

Oh yeah, I would call Christains optimistic when you rant on about death and hell.

Theres plently of books by SilverRaven Wolf.

I thought you said you weren't a Wickedan. Silver RavenWolf publicly self-identifies as such.

Um, so you're not a Wicker, but you cite the books of a leading Llewellyn (Gardnerian) Wicker?

Um . . . HUH?

You DO realize that the "ancient manuscripts" upon which Gardnerian Wicca were supposedly founded don't exist, right?

An electic pagan is a mix. I'm pretty much a mix of Wiccan and Druid, so I find her books interesting.

So do you follow authentic ancient Paganism, or not? If you do, then shouldn't you follow what it was, rather than what you think it should have been? If you don't, then stop prattling about how ancient your religion is; it isn't ancient if you get to make it up as you go along. In short, stop trying to have it both ways.

Why We Despise Silver Ravenwolf


Until now I have refrained from targeting any person specifically, and I thought long and hard about posting this article. Yet the simple fact is that I, and others, do actively warn people against Silver Ravenwolf's books, and repeatedly I am asked: can't you simply agree to disagree?

With most authors, the answer is "yes". Differing theology is a matter of opinion. Ravenwolf's theology is not, however, what I object to. What I object to is her lousy history, lack of morality, and rampant religious bigotry.

If you intend to grovel before a God form, please stop here and throw this book away…The common act of sniveling at their feet is unacceptable. If you truly want that type of relationship with "higher-ups", there are plenty of well-cultured religions that will gladly open their arms to you. (page 43)

I cannot think of any religion that would describe its practices as "sniveling," and portrayal of another religion as such without so much as a reference is . . . unprofessional to say the least. "The common act" indicates that she thinks this sort of behavior is widespread - while she doesn't actually name Christianity as the offender here, I don't think I'm out of line inferring that's who she meant, although maybe there are other religions she's also attempting to slam.

Thats whats great about paganism, we don't have dogma. We believe in what we want, not by the standards of something else. But it all falls down to the same thing; care for our mother earth.

If you believe what you want, then how can you call that a religion? I call it chaos. No morality at all.

That's a quote from the webpage about your heroine. I suggest you read it.

If you knew half what you think you do about Wicca or Neo-Paganism, you'd already know what a "fluffy bunny" is.

DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK YET, IXI?

And no, reading "Teen Witch" is not DOING YOUR HOMEWORK. You need to read OTHER people's ideas, too!

You go by dumb strict standards. You follow this because you want "eternal life" and you fear hell, don't deny it. You blindly snivel at gods big feet, when he doesn't really exist. I laugh at your stupidity.

That's the same thing feel-good Christians do. They just make it all up. Jesus loves you, but if you don't get right with GOD, He will toss you into the Hell you don't believe in.....along with your cats.
