I'm going to use the Holiday season here as an opportunity to open observations and discussion on "cousin" paths. Tonight on the menu is Wicca.
Wicca the spiritual philosphy most associated but not exclusve to Witchcraft is probably the most successfull branch of the Neo Pagan movement. What I'd like to do is offer my personal "pros & cons" and I ask that you do likewise.
What I like: (on paper) An honest attempt to balance the deity factor into male and female manifestations. An appreciation for Mother Gia (Earth). They celebrate every part of the year (winter festivals included) using the wheel of the year. The best of them are very eclectic. Discarding orthodoxies and making use of anything and everything from various cultures and tweaking the dials as they go along.
What I don't like: The balance of divinity into male & female went right out the fucking window. The goddess wears the pants in Wicca. Males witches are called witches (de balled). Funny considdering the word "Wicca" means male witch. Wicce is the female variation of the word.They clamor for non discrimination but woe unto you if you stumble upon them with a Baphomet around your neck.That tolorance they so desire from the mainstream is not afforded from them to Satanists. (Had a brush or two). And quite frankly their beliefs (the ultra white witches) can go off the deep end sometimes.
NEXT!
Impressive Ana. Way to go! I'd like to hear the particulars at some point.
As for the skyclad invite, I'm sure when someone like yourself participates, it's a wondorous thing, however when someone as myself does it we call it "Indecent Exposure" on this side of the pond.
I have my own dedicated blog, Leo, where you will find heaps on witchcraft and lots of other subjects that take my interest. Do have a look if you want http//:anatheimp.blogspot.com If there is ever anything in particular you would like me to write about just say, as long as I don't have to give away too many secrets of the Craft. I have sisters, you know. :-)
Oh, Ortho, browsing in the Latin Quarter is one of my favourite pastimes. :-) I've also picked up some good stuff from the booksellers along the banks of the Seine.
