At least you have intelligent responses. (Unlike mine.)


I've been looking up the holidays, mostly the Wiccan ones, I guess. (Samhain and Yule are the ones I looked up.) I really love the idea of Balance in them.

Byproduct of study. Happens to folks after a while.

Neither Samhain nor Yule are part of the cult's practice.

Neither of these holidays are about balance, in the cult or outside of it.

Well I fount them on Wiccan websites. (Wicca for the rest of them happens to be one).
And so far from what I read, Samhain is the start of the sun coming out less and darker nights, and Belatin? Not so sure I really haven't done a lot of research, is the start of the nights being shorter and the days being longer. To me that kinda balances out.
There's more on it, I don't know everything, but to me there seems to be a balance in that.

It isn't like the internet isn't capable of using entitlement to marginalize a different ethnicity because they find it romantic or easy.

You read fluff. It's common enough- stems from the fact that people think that the Gael are a romantic caricature to emulate- which usually becomes bastardization.

I know not all sites are correct. Although if wicca for the rest of us is fluff, you may want to get it taken down from the link list in the guild then.
Ahh well, I liked the idea of the imaginary balance in them then. (Haha), Not something I personally believe in though, just doing some studying.

I'd rather just teach people to critically examine it since it's better than it isn't.

These specific practices are a function of Culture Rape/Cultural Appropriation.

That really doesn't surprise me, having read more on the other sabbats listed there.

I am suddenly reminded of how much I hate homework.  

[whiporwill-o]

i've never needed a reminder. it's one reason why i waited so long to go back to school. but not the biggest reason... not even in the top 4

Only thing keeping me out of school is cash.

that was in the top 4, this year i finally quailified for a grant. my biggest reason, though, was not knowing what i wanted to go for and i didn't want to waste my parent's money. plus, my apartment did not allow single tennants to go to college, which i though was rather stupid, but at the same time i can see why. (and thats single as in without a roommate, not as in unmarried)

I'd love to see how they could enforce that. confused

Strikes as a great way to end up with a nasty discrimination suit on their hands.

they were afraid that if a single tennant was a student then said tennant wouldn't be able to pay their rent and thus have to be evicted. a bit discriminatory, yes, but it seemed like a lot of the low-income rentals in the area were like that.
