Worst Things You Can Ever Say As A Pagan

[Henry Dorsett Case]

Paraphrasing and splicing two separate quotes together, from a different bb
"The only way to kill an Irish God is to tear off its head or rip out its spine. It then becomes a fairy.... Fairies and humans can ascend to godhood"

Tsk, tsk. Everyone knows it has to be a human soul in an elf or half-elf body to ascend to godhood! C'mon, didn't they learn anything from Lezard Valeth?

I thought Khemetic was a group separate from Wicca. Are they Wiccan, or are they a separate pagan group?

Khemetism is dealing with the Egyptian deities. ARI can explain it better than I can, but yeah - Khemetic Wicca is just...twitchy. My response to that on the Talk:Christian Wicca page was along the lines of "I'd love to see a Khemet's opinion on their theology being mangled into an ostensibly-Wiccan dogma. I'm not even sure it's justifiable."

Yeah, Khemetic/Kemetic is dealing with the Egyptian deities. They tend to play well with other groups of deities, but they are certainly their own seperate entities (sort of...too hard to explain here). Kemetic-Wicca is just.....no.

Hey, I know him, he was in that game. Valkyrie Profile. I had no idea if there was an actual story behind it.

Well, in the game, that was what he figured out - that the Gods used elves as vessels on Midgard, and that it might be possible to become a god if a human soul were put into an elf vessel.

To concatenate TM's latest post into one sentence:
Being influenced by religions and groups = Paradigm piracy
Guess I have to stop living my life by any element of any religion I don't completely follow. For that matter, the Jews have to give back anything they took from the Zoroastrians.

Was there even a valid point to what her and her parrot were saying? Calling us fundalmentalists because we value the fundamentals is very petty, especially when there was no real answer to your question provided. It is tigress mae all over again?

Probably not, to be honest. It looked like TM was angry that we told her "sources or GTFO" last time. She's more pissed that we told her "reasonable interpretation of those sources or GTFO" this time.

Especially since, according to her definition, we're not. No one said that the religious texts of Wicca are "correct" or "historically accurate", just that they are the rules for the religion. "Traditionalist" = "Fundamentalist", I suppose, in her eyes.

Maybe I have to ask for substantiation exactly eighteen and three-quarters times before the parrot will provide it? How many times can I say "subtantiate your claims or retract them" before one or the other happens? Ask Mr. Owl.

Well, the initials are TM...I love the two horrible spellings. How did "Arcane Magi" turn into "Arkayne Magii"...and what happened to the "t" in "Mastery"?

I like how TM brought Egypt up in the whole "Gardner took stuff from other religions." Because the Egyptians were pretty good at taking things from other places, and placing it in their religion.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but considering how at first glance, the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman pantheons look similar, especially under the fluffy bunny eyesight. So there must have been some sort of borrowing. And the cultures before those three or the ones that those three traded with. It happens, but the people borrowing usually seem to know what thier original belief system is before they "evolve" it.

I loved how I replied to both of them. I wonder if they will get the hint that creating something new from something borrowed is not the same as saying you are something and then not even borrowing from it.

I've started regularly going back to the Talk:Christian Wicca page lately. I'm sure by now it's obvious which username on that page is mine.

Several years ago I was hanging out in Paganism #1 on Yahoo Chat when this sixteen-year-old girl entered the chat room and proudly announced:
"I'm a 33rd generation Wiccan whose ancestor was burned at the stake in Salem Village!"
Needless to say, we threw the young fluff bunny to the wolves, pointing out that:

1. No one was burned at the stake in Salem Village;
2. Wicca was founded by Gerald Gardner in 1936;
3. If you were a 33rd generation Pagan (ignoring the Wiccan question), you would have to be able to prove that you were part of a hereditary line of witches stretching back over 650 years.

My comment to her was: "If you're going to spin lies about your magical heritage, at least get your facts straight."

I haven't visited it for a while, I think I will now 3nodding

Edit: So THAT'S where that "Alexandrian (Greek) Wicca" quote came from. =.=
