CuAnnan 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". I only have experience with the Uratha, never did anything with Garou. I did have some time with old school Kindred (and it's vastly preferable to new school, although honestly, vampires are not my interest). See, the one thing I miss was the older Awakened. The whole Atlantis thing pissed me off and it constricted everything into these little useless boxes. And I really didn't like the Watchtowers, which once again trapped people in these archetypes. I could live with the Abyss and Paradox a result of the Tapestry rejecting vulgarity, instead of the consensus rejecting magic with their own latent magic, but the limitations created by the Watchtowers really hurt my view of the Awakened, when before they had all this variety and interesting ways of existing.

Recursive Paradox I only have experience with the Uratha As long as you ignore the whole "Group Guilt" thing, which is essentially how it's run in the Irish Cam, Forsaken is a lovely system. Recursive Paradox I did have some time with old school Kindred (and it's vastly preferable to new school, although honestly, vampires are not my interest). I disagree. I've played both Masquerade and Requiem. I prefer Requiem.

TeaDidikai Then why not insist that Gardner has no claim to the title because he changed elements from the New Forest coven's practices? My understanding was that Wicca was seprate from the New Forest coven. That Gardner used it as a springboard of sorts. The now Forest Coven retained it's title and it's craft, and that Wicca was something entirely new. TeaDidikai And since there are Gardnerians who reject Alex Saunders claim of the title, why not insist that the Alexanderians change their title too? I know next to nothing about the differences between Alexandrians and Gardnerians. I though the split was due to Saunders belief about allows homosexuals to be initiated. But I'm probably wrong. TeaDidikai I don't mind your position, I just see a lot of inconsistencies. The inconsistances are likely my lack of scholorship on the topic. I really haven't taken the time to study Wicca. I've focused my studies elsewhere when I realized that it was not for me.

I really liked how the Gifts were handled too. The whole system just made a lot of sense to me.

I took more than a little umbrage at their "consensual reality" model, especially when it was pointedly false in the end. The right conclusion for all the wrong reasons. crying

You mean they actually constructed it as false in their storyline? Or that it's utterly wrong about reality? I don't mind things being way off of reality in fiction.

Ha!
Ha!
Some kid PMed me telling me he was some demon and he has all of these superpowers, and that if he went around telling everyone he'd put them in danger.
So he goes around telling everyone he can't tell them because he'd put them in danger.
And he called me "hun", then said it was because he was 17, and obviously I was younger than him if I didn't believe him. I bet he was under 14.

The cuteness is overshadowed by the crippling persecution complex, the terrible typing, and the strange threats. Like the one where he says he's going to prove to me he's a true demon by using his computer. I'm not sure if he's going to try and hack me, or he's going to try to expose himself on webcam.

gerald garner and the new forest coven...he was a hero, for reviving wicca after the burning times... and as well dorothy Clutterbuck, but then again, there are any types of wiccan, the gardnerian, Alexandriaqn, Goergian, seax wicca,feri/feary/fairy,reclaiming, Dianic, and eclectic, are many variations of wicca, no one will agree with every one, although the witches rede does say we should all get along. but i do find it fitting, that Gaia (who is a godess) is being discussed on gaiaonline. lol "Eight words the wiccan rded fulfil" "an it harm none, do what ye will" blessed be Shearaha TeaDidikai Then why not insist that Gardner has no claim to the title because he changed elements from the New Forest coven's practices?

there are three things that are the worst thing u could ever say to a witch,
One-- whitelighters
two-- fluffbunnies (this is actually a term to say nicely a noob to wicca)
three--playgan (someone who doesnt take the craft seriously)
