patch99329 TeaDidikai Looks like they now require membership to read. *edit* I had copied and pasted the wrong link!! hereQuote: However, there is one thing that this change has effected for the worse, and that is the state of occult knowledge in some areas of the Modern Craft. The current state of occult scholarship within the Craft is sadly lacking. Ironic.

I am sure I saw it in there. confused

It's not a required thing, But I suppose some wiccans might use them in ritual *shrug* This guy obviously does. I mean hey, who needs lineage and degrees when you have a ouija board!? Not being a wiccan I wouldn't know xD. Don't see the point really dammit, I must be a closet christian neutral . He has this complex about wicca and shamanism though. He believes wiccans today have forgotten about wiccas shamanic core, or something equally s**t.0_0

The woman which I quoted a little earlier talking about how wicca has no hierachy etc just got completely pwned.
I challenged what she said and then a 3rd degree initiate (the ONLY initiate on the whole forum, she actually met gardner!) expanded my point further.
The womans response was:
'As I don't belong to a coven, 'my' Wicca has no hierarchy and that would apply to most if not all Solitaries. We answer only to ourselves and, therefore, I see Wicca as a changing religion that has outgrown it's creator.
I'm aware that many who do belong to covens think we Solitaries are not true Wiccans but I disagree (well I would wouldn't I?). For as long as I adhere to the essentials, follow the Rede and pay mind to The Threefold, I AM Wiccan and there is no Organization from which I can be excluded or by which I can be criticized.'
Forget buffy obsessed teens. THAT is the mark of a true bunny.

patch99329 For as long as I adhere to the essentials, I always ask this question, "If you do not know the mysteries or follow that it is a Fertility religion, then how are you following the essentials? Also, being that the Lord and Lady are specific deities and are very much a part of the religion, how is it that you follow the essentials without knowing thier names?" I do not think that i have ever gotten a good answer. Usually, something about them following the rede which is the most important part.

Try reading a Harry Potter- BTVS fanfic, where they try to explain the totally different magic systems by labeling the BTVS variant "Wicca- Earth based"
Makes me cringe. A lot.
Actually, HP magic in general makes me want to bash someone's head in. But then again, so does SG-1 and ST technology.

TeaDidikai Hell Yeah Seaking I bent the universe to cast meteor to destroy the world Did you ever actually hear someone say this? I have heard something very close. Something about casting a world-shattering spell by calling up the magic held in the center of the universe, but then changing his mind and canceling the spell before it could take effect. If memory serves, something about how much work he had to do to smooth out the cracks in reality he created just by casting the spell. If you have any feelings of deja vu, that's his doing. And this was before the Matrix, even.
