rosespider13 My guess would be Gauru..... rolleyes Pity. While they're much munchier, I much prefer the flavour of the world of the Uratha and where they fit into it. Gaurdians of the Earth is all well and good, but I found the Garou a little pansieish for my tastes. The Uratha, at least, are ******** nails. "Protecting the earth is only a secondary result of maintaining the gauntlet. Gaia can kiss my furry a** if she thinks I'm out to protect her".

TeaDidikai Shearaha Found this in the witchcraft thread Quote: Perhaps Wicca itself needs another name then. Perhaps just calling it the Gardnerian (Alexandrian, etc) Tradition would suffice? Because it's original meaning is basically to practice witchcraft. Therefore, in a round about way, all who practice witchcraft could call themselves Wiccan. Now I may be getting snotty about it, but it's kind of true. Now, I know of witches who never have practiced in a format of the whole Wiccan thing. The duality gods, the 8 holidays, etc. And they don't want to even associate with the term, especially because the whole 'religion' of Wicca is not traditional. But when you break down words, it kind of gives you a new view on things. Can't say I find that to be the worst thing a pagan to say, especially since it has a fair basis in fact and is demonstrating an understanding of the history of the word's use by Gardner and isn't relying on fallacies. Hell, it even goes so far as to point out that not all witches would consider using the term. For me it was mainly the part where she was saying that rather then correct people who just take up the title Wicca that those who earned it should just call themselves something else.

"Protecting the earth is only a secondary result of maintaining the gauntlet. Gaia can kiss my furry a** if she thinks I'm out to protect her". I gave them both amiss and played a Corax, mainly for my own amusement and the combo of Eidetic Memory (which for some reason covers voices/conversations as well)/Voice of the Mimic. Radio Free Raven is on the air, bringing you the latest from inside Pentex - complete with background noises and all conversationalists in their own voices! Plus, it let me wear silver with no penalty, which annoyed my cairn's dogs. xd

What is confusing about these people that you know who participate? well, for the holiday itself, i have heard so many different stories as to it's origins. as for the people, they are just confusing about it all, i can't just describe it, it's more like a collection of observations made over the years that i can't really set into words.

I tend to consider Christmas the most successful of all amalgamated holidays.
there's a little something from all the contributing cultures. It's like the Katamari ball of festivals. 3nodding

Shearaha For me it was mainly the part where she was saying that rather then correct people who just take up the title Wicca that those who earned it should just call themselves something else. Why do we assume that is unreasonable. Look at it this way, Gardnerian and Alexandrian were initially by many accounts derogatory terms, and yet the Wica use them a great deal in order to distinguish themselves.

If it happens that the Wicca themselves choose to call themselves by a different title then I have no issue. I just don't like the idea that they should because a buch of people stole the title they already had.

I just don't like the idea that they should because a buch of people stole the title they already had. Then why not insist that Gardner has no claim to the title because he changed elements from the New Forest coven's practices? And since there are Gardnerians who reject Alex Saunders claim of the title, why not insist that the Alexanderians change their title too? I don't mind your position, I just see a lot of inconsistencies.
