Worst Things You Can Ever Say As A Pagan

[Recursive Paradox]

"Why did they burn witches when everyone knows they melt in water?"

"Dissolve" seems more workable conceptually. XD

"Pagans don't hit people!"

Of course you don't. You wouldn't want to bruise your sacrifice.

"Why did they burn witches when everyone knows they melt in water?" This one was meant in jest, but it amused me and caused "facepalm".

"Oh, Wiccan, Roma, same thing!"

- An actual quote from a girl at school.

Edit: Full story.

So I'm walking out of English class, and this girl, Mouse, comes out of her history class and bumps into me. So apparently she's been learning about the Salem Witch Trials. This creates much drama, because Mouse is "Wiccan."

So she's like, "FOMG, I never would have survived those times." And I start talking about the theories that the girls were actually getting hallucinogens in their food and that's where they got all these kooky ideas from, and then she says, "Yeah, only two of the people there were actually Wiccan."

stressed

So we go outside because it's the end of the day and stuff, and she's still talking about TEH SALEM WITCH TRIALS. Eventually we get to talking about the European Witch Trials. And I'm like, "Yeah, the people killed there were pretty much just normal Christians. It was more about personal vendettas and dislike of strange people than religion or anything."

So she says, "You know, I did some research --" and I'm thinking, no, nono. She wouldn't. "-- and I found out that my great-great-great-great-great grandmother was a G~" and yes, she did indeed use the racial slur, despite my somewhat lame attempts to inform her that it is very much offensive, "and she was killed during the Burning Times."

crying

After doing my usual 'FOMG racial slur' spiel, which was immediately ignored, Mouse is like, "Jeez, even my ancestors were persecuted for being magical people." So this other kid says, "Wait, how does her being Roma (because this kid is actually awesome and REMEMBERS when I ask him not to use racial slurs) make her 'magical?'"

So she punches him playfully, and says, "Oh, Wiccan, Roma, same thing!"

She was in history class and learned that the Wiccans were burned at the stake during the Salem Witch Trials? What kind of teacher is this, or is she just dense?

Maybe you should ask her the three questions, or rather two questions about Wicca.

Who created it?

What type of religion is it? (anything but fertility witch cult is of course wrong, but you know that, so we dont have to go into that spiel)

And, Wiccan = Roma....Geeze, not even the fluffy bunnies I know would say that, though one did say she was from the G-word line. Her mom didnt say that though, nor did her dad.

um weren't they hung and not burned ona and now you've made me curious what is the Gword?

I like it is dumbed down spanish. I have heard it from different people, and the mexicans and puerot ricans look at them like they are idiots.

is eta the name of a different girl? or is that the same stuff from the same girl?

ETA means "edited to add."

And it seriously is dumbed down Spanish. She used the incorrect conjugation of a verb, the incorrect word for the second person pronoun (if that's what it was supposed to be), and I'm not even entirely certain "estupido" is a word.

estupido is a word howevr it has a negative conitation at the same leval as retard so needless to say don't do what i did and say that in spanish camp!

That's the point.

Gypsy. It's an ethnic slur for the Rroma in the same way the N~ word is a slur for those of African Heritage.  

[Fiddlers Green]

Eta is also sorta a racial slur for certain minority or outcaste groups in Japan (Burakumin), especially during the Tokugawa Shogunate or Bakufu. ninja

Heh heh, I'll have to remember that next time she brings it up ^_^  

[Namikikyo]

I am the flesh reincarnate of the moon Goddess that Wiccans worship, My boyfriend is actually the Horned God. We were trapped in these bodies by a powerful Wizard that is his mother's last past life, which is why she makes our lives miserable by not letting us be happy. He just doesn't know it yet. I'm going to awaken him soon though. We're soul mates. My dreams tell me so.

Quote:

If certain Gods or Goddesses or any other higher power deems it not right for someone to worship them, then by all means they will tell that person themselves. They do not need humans to act as the mouthpiece of these Gods and Goddesses.

If a fluffy bunny does come along and claims to be Wiccan or claims to worship the Celtic and Shinto pantheons, then let them. There are too many claims, to know who is right and who is wrong. If anything, both sides of the Pagan world could be wrong. The same can be said about conservative Christians.

"no, i dont belong to a coven and im not wiccan, but im a wiccan high priestess because the internet said so"

(this has actually happened, but she was being serious, i changed the wording in jest)

someone's sig...



gonk stressed gonk stressed gonk

Worst part--the text in the sig is actually used in the show. The first few seasons it was the big "get out of bad s**t free" card. They'd chant it a few times and poof! yey! magic!

It's a really, really terrible show. That my mum adores and I had to watch growing up. gonk  

[TeaDidikai]

Charmed, Buffy and Angel. Three shows I could never stand to watch more than a couple minutes of at a time.  

[Chaos Blue]

What's even more lolz-facepalm is that I know who that sig belongs to. I'm not gonna say though.
