Welcome to Gaia! ::

Contested.

Not everyone thinks that such cards should not be touched by others. Some traditions hold that looking at something imparts as much energy as touching it- thus the use of others tools is not unreasonable.

Further- in a pinch, you can always cleanse them. I would hate to think how expenisve buying a new deck every time someone touched the cards might be.

Again- not all groups work with blunted athames.

For example- I knew of an Asatru who stated point blank that to him a magical weapon that cannot function as a real weapon wasn't of any use. While I do not hold his position universal, there is a certain amount of sense- especially when one considers that many a kitchen witch uses a kitchen knife as an athame.

After all- you don't want your tomato getting mooshed do you?

AGHHHH ******** hell I'm enraged scream
I'm losing patience with certain fluffies and I just want to eat their stuffing >.<

*insert massive massive essay about 'what is fluffy?'*
Then say:
'There are those that say 'so and so' because wicca is a fertility religion. I've always thought wicca was nature orientated actually'. scream

Or (this is the one thats made me angry. It's like a build up thing on this forum where the most respected people just spew bullshit. I don't leave because...I don't know why confused ).
Mr newbie:' Hi there, is it ok to be a monotheistic wiccan? Because I am one because I still believe in god'

Miss superfluff:'hi clara there are some wiccans that dont have a belief in diety at all they attune to nature , so i dont see why it would matter only believeing in one god , we all have differant belief systems,
and we all work differantly; as long as it doesnt cause any conflict within you then just follow your heart do what feels right for you,
i dont really see a right or wrong way only what feels right for you personally .blessings ravan '

crying head>desk. SHE CAN'T EVEN SPELL!!!!

Sorry for the rant redface But it does build up. xd


Finally-
'Never again the burning times' over and over and over and over again.

I agree.

Add 10 extra fluffy points if the said person has this phrase in a sparkly cumputer graphic or on a pin or something rolleyes .

Oh... I know a press shop that can do that!

I don't think they'd get the joke.
Not that I go to those things.

Yeah- I can almost hear it now. sweatdrop

ROFLMAO
But...You never truely know...There MAY have been Pagans at that time, yet the chances are a googol to one.

"OMG! I started Wicca so that I could get this really hot boy to like fall for me and y'know...Kiss my feet, n'stuff! Why aren't my spells working? Like, ohmigoddess."

"The Order of the Rosy Cross was founded in 1896 by three practitioners of the occult who found themselves inexplicably drawn to each other."

I only wish this were a hypothetical statement.
