"My spirit guide is a white wolf."

Or conversely,

"My totems are wolf, eagle, tiger, lion, cheetah, falcon, stag, buffalo, elk, antelope, swan and platypus."

"My spirit guide is a Raven. He taught me to be a warrior" Has anyone heard of the Raven ever being a warrior? I have heard trickster and mystic, and teacher, and sometimes thief, but never warrior.

"I am a half-golem, half-terrasque in real life"

*Terrasque was pronounced tearah skew by this person.*

Didn't the Morrigan appear as a Raven from time to time?

...I've always pronounced it terah skew...

Morrigan is seen with Ravens but I don't think as one. She's not really a trickster, though. Odin is closer, also seen with ravens, but I've never felt the tenor of the animal people of the like of Raven and Anansi and the rest was quite the same as gods.

And I velieve it should be pronounced "terr-aask" by the spelling.

"Every Wiccan ritual is different. Every tenant, every termonlogy varies from Wiccan faith to Wiccan path."

I think the original spelling is Tarasque - at least that's what I'm getting from Wikipedia and its sources. So "Tah-rask" might be in order.

Like you'd know any different! You're just part of a sect of Pagan!

(AD&D Dork Alert!) I've heard both "terr-aask" and "tah-rask." Last I checked a Monster Manual, I can't remember is there was a pronunciation guide, so I'm not certain if there's a "official" pronunciation.

'Cept that the Tarasque predates D&D by a good long while - apparently, the Tarasque is originally mentioned in a story of Saint Martha. A bit of the history here (I just found the site for Tarascon, and am still looking through it myself).

Well now, you learn something new every day. If I'd paid more attention in CCD classes, I'd probably have known that.

And to get back on topic:

"And that's why Saint Martha is more powerful than Mary in Santeria!"  

[IH_Zero]

Oh, I just remembered one.

"To become Wiccan, you have to read 10 books on it. This week, I'm reading (I can't remember the title she gave). It's by Silver Ravenwolf."

"(I can't remember the title she gave). It's by Silver Ravenwolf."

To Verb a(n) Adjective Noun, I'd wager.

Ever notice how none of those reading lists seem to include the Gardnerian, Internet, or Farrar BOS?

That's because Gardner isn't really the source of the Wiccan religion. It's got ancient roots, and during the Burning Times our predecessors were singled out just for being witches!

Sadly enough, the italicized above is a paraphrase from the website of Deborah Lipp, a Fluff author who, even if her bio page is truthful, never achieved higher than a second degree in a recognized Wiccan tradition.
