@tomken8dy Oh, I'm sure that $ would've motivated whomsoever blocked Tesla, they weren't onto the biological response to EMF.... Remember Fluroscopes in Shoeshops, & X-Ray Facial Depilatories ?!

HA! these kind of ppl that u are talking bout i see frequently..and all i do is laugh...b/c they dont understand the power behind the law of 3...they dont understand wat they are doing at all..yes i was involved in the dark arts..but i stopped...and i went thru a lot b/c the law of 3 got ahold of me..i did a lot asking for forgiviness by the god and goddess and my guides...and now im a happy wiccan :)
I can think of 3 people off the top of my head that claim to be wiccans/witches/druids, but are attention hungry teenage kids. I myself am still in highschool (senior), but I blend in (short, blonde hair, wearing a school uniform... I don't even have piercings or tattoos). I AM new to this religion, and have been studying it and living by it to the best of my ability for the past 8 months, but I can't stand it when people use any religion as an excuse for their bad lifestyle
Where are these wiccan wannabees anyway. I've never seen any. And I'm a pretty old wiccan.... I think people confuse goth kids with us most of the time.
Somebody out there take a look at the "Baptists" and "Pentacostals" who curse witches on Sunday morning, cast a Hoodoo revenge spell on their neighbor at night and round off the evening with the 23rd psalm. They loudly proclaim themselves born again, bible believing and tell everyone loudly that they're Christian. And deny their active roles in the occult while tying semen stained bands around a candle from some lover. HAS ANYONE MADE LIGHT OF THIS? IS EVERYONE AFRAID OF THESE PEOPLE?
A wicca' is a stupid cunt who steals things from other religions and claims them as their own, just like Christianity, Catholicism, and every other BIBLICAL religion. :)
Seriously, not a biblical religion? It holds the same bigoted, and disgusting essence of thievery, both stole and steal things from religions pre-seeding them, tell me then how it is not Biblical?
And how am I a loser? Because I point out mutual fact? Because it is all Fact.
@kawaiifreak860 Nope. Christians suck just as much dick. And I was just stating facts. A "Biblical" religion would be a religion which follows the bible. And I actually meant loser for the video poster.
@cgray6306 Sorry, but false wicca' sometimes steals several Gods from paganism to worship but 99.9% of the time they worship a single horned Deity they've dubbed Pan and constantly try to claim that deity as the only and first horn deity despite hard evidence revealing else wise since that whole thing in itself was started by Christianity to spread fear of them.
Using any religion or symbol just to shock someone is a disgusting practice.
I think part of the reason I balked at Wicca for so long was because that was my first exposure to it. It took me many years to really get over recoiling from that.
He's right if you think of polluting your body this way--- just like the computer thought of GIGO -- "Garbage In, Garbage Out".... Look it up. Think about it. Seriously. If you alter the way your body processes things - thinking, sensation, etc. - by putting in stuff that WILL mess with you, then you're not having a true experience ... it's tainted and altered by whatever is in you - whether Rx drugs, illegal drugs, or even alcohol.
I am a pagan brother from the netherlands. And I smoke marijuana every day, its not against the law here (you might have heared of Amsterdam). Our forfathers smoked it before they went in battle, and with rituals to get closer with the gods. I personally use it to get closer to the gods when I am meditating. I thought id share this with you. PS I am not a Witch.
Would help to have a historical understanding. There never was a "Wicca" religion. The were/are Wiccas (witchas) male practitioners of what was considered witchcraft and there were/are Wiccis (witchies) the female practitioner. Modern "Wicca" as religion has more in common with Jewish and masonic occult than it does anything remotely close to the Kelt or Pagan north. If you are interested in European roots, look to Celtic re-constructionists,Anglo-Saxon witchcraft, Druids and Asatru/Odinism.
I agree with this video 100%. Every religion has a group of ***holes who go around pretending but don't represent the religion at all. Wicca even has them too. Sometimes I see really mean or superficial people wearing a pentacle necklace and I want to rip it off them because they aren't ready to wear it. They're just trying to look cool.
you know as a wiccan and not the wannabe type iv been wiccan for a while and i dont see any problem with smokeing pot or eating it or whatever and i know christians that are the same way mother earth cant be evil so weed cant be evil its just not possible and even in the christian bible it says that a plant that bares seeds is aa good thing (christian showed me in her bible) but its people who use wicca as an excuse to smoke that ticks me off
wicca is a great spirituality and i agree with you in that some peoples actions make wicca seem something its not but a true wiccan dosent do the things you speek of
@ashesinthewax I don't cast spells. I don't believe in "magick" BUT I DO believe in the Life Force. As taught in ~Hinduism, the life force continually flows through us. That energy has awareness without conscious thought. ~When our bodies die, we ARE that Soul. The Life Force can be collected and used like any other energy. It can be amplified and directed for good or ill. I suppos

That energy has awareness without conscious thought. ~When our bodies die, we ARE that Soul. The Life Force can be collected and used like any other energy. It can be amplified and directed for good or ill. I suppose technically that's "magick" but I have` a different understanding of it. Yes I use crystals. I have a wand too.
I'd also add, that my paganism doesn't prevent me from enjoying a few pints of Ale now and then, or an occasional toke with some trusted friends. It's no more a pollution than a big slice of Chocolate Cake on my Birthday. It's when one overindulges in anything unhealthy that it becomes "Pollution". I don't concern myself with "looking" like a Wiccan and am annoyed that some people are, and end up giving Pagans a bad name.
Good video, and good point. I am happy to see you have also mentioned that, worthy as it is, Wicca is not Ancient. It doesn't have to be old to be a good idea!
Without sounding pompous (it's hard on the 'net!), I am aware of this. It's just annoying when some well meaning but naive Wiccans proclaim that their religion was persecuted in "The Burning Times". Any sniff of the occult and yes, you could have been hung or burned or maybe even forgiven and allowed back into the Church (it happend!)....but mostly it was Christians burned at the stake!
I say this not to correct you, but for the benefit of others who may read this too.
tell me what's wrong with "pot" ?show me any real and verified info that it is bad and/or has done harm to any one person who was not allergic ...... i am a wiccan and i do smoke pot and for you to pass all this judgement seems to go against the rede itself ...how would you know if i'm "bad" just because i smoke "pot". you should reflect on the words " and ye harm none do what ye will" i look forward to a response and blessed be )o(
Agreed wiccans arent out ot scare people do drugs and o.d thats not real wicca. but misinformed people may think thats true and demonize what wicca is because of that so thank you for seting the record straight!
Thank you! I'm a Wiccan, and I get so fed up with all the misconceptions and people who call themselves Wiccans or witches just for the attention/effect. Wicca is not an ancient religion, though it does draw on the ideas of polytheism and nature worship found in older spiritual practices. However, Gardner was also heavily influenced by the ceremonial magic and occultism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
i'm sorry about your friend getting mixed up w people who where just D#$*s i hate it when punks use my way of life to scare others to feel better about themselves and justify harmful behavior. it does nothing but support the misconseptions that others have and makes them(the wannabees) no better than those who use fear to push "anti wiccan" and "anti-neopagan" philosophy
how do u knw u werent in their days i dnt believe nttn i have a gramz as in the old wiccan witch shes 123 yrs old still living you really wanna knw the real thingy let me knw and ull find out so the only wanna be here is u nd it dnt matter how old u are or not the gifts that we have the power that we were given is something you dnt play with!!!
You're right about the history of Wicca, but if you read Gardner's work you will find that he actually found the use of certain drugs to be a valid form of practice. This doesn't mean you should go and do crystal meth for kicks, but the safe, controlled application of herbs like salvia can indeed bring on spiritual experiences according to many Wiccans.
@jaquiel pot is said to do the same thing, it's great as a meditation aid as well as good for astral projection and anything that deals with opening the mind. Am I saying get totally blizted? nah, but a few puffs here and there are just enough to help those confined to their physical forms emerge and blossom. This was a good post Jaquiel.
i agree 100%,,,i think thats why so many practice alone because they just dont want to deal with the bad element
so many see how it is in movies and tv and think thats the way it really is,,,they never bother to actually pick up a book or do resurch to fully understand the history and facts behind wicca
Thank you for posting this It helped a lot of people, myself included! :)

I can think of 3 people off the top of my head that claim to be wiccans/witches/druids, but are attention hungry teenage kids. I myself am still in highschool (senior), but I blend in (short, blonde hair, wearing a school uniform... I don't even have piercings or tattoos). I AM new to this religion, and have been studying it and living by it to the best of my ability for the past 8 months, but I can't stand it when people use any religion as an excuse for their bad lifestyle

Somebody out there take a look at the "Baptists" and "Pentacostals" who curse witches on Sunday morning, cast a Hoodoo revenge spell on their neighbor at night and round off the evening with the 23rd psalm. They loudly proclaim themselves born again, bible believing and tell everyone loudly that they're Christian. And deny their active roles in the occult while tying semen stained bands around a candle from some lover. HAS ANYONE MADE LIGHT OF THIS? IS EVERYONE AFRAID OF THESE PEOPLE?

He's right if you think of polluting your body this way--- just like the computer thought of GIGO -- "Garbage In, Garbage Out".... Look it up. Think about it. Seriously. If you alter the way your body processes things - thinking, sensation, etc. - by putting in stuff that WILL mess with you, then you're not having a true experience ... it's tainted and altered by whatever is in you - whether Rx drugs, illegal drugs, or even alcohol.

I am a pagan brother from the netherlands. And I smoke marijuana every day, its not against the law here (you might have heared of Amsterdam). Our forfathers smoked it before they went in battle, and with rituals to get closer with the gods. I personally use it to get closer to the gods when I am meditating. I thought id share this with you. PS I am not a Witch.

Would help to have a historical understanding. There never was a "Wicca" religion. The were/are Wiccas (witchas) male practitioners of what was considered witchcraft and there were/are Wiccis (witchies) the female practitioner. Modern "Wicca" as religion has more in common with Jewish and masonic occult than it does anything remotely close to the Kelt or Pagan north. If you are interested in European roots, look to Celtic re-constructionists,Anglo-Saxon witchcraft, Druids and Asatru/Odinism.

I'd also add, that my paganism doesn't prevent me from enjoying a few pints of Ale now and then, or an occasional toke with some trusted friends. It's no more a pollution than a big slice of Chocolate Cake on my Birthday. It's when one overindulges in anything unhealthy that it becomes "Pollution". I don't concern myself with "looking" like a Wiccan and am annoyed that some people are, and end up giving Pagans a bad name.

Without sounding pompous (it's hard on the 'net!), I am aware of this. It's just annoying when some well meaning but naive Wiccans proclaim that their religion was persecuted in "The Burning Times". Any sniff of the occult and yes, you could have been hung or burned or maybe even forgiven and allowed back into the Church (it happend!)....but mostly it was Christians burned at the stake!

Thank you! I'm a Wiccan, and I get so fed up with all the misconceptions and people who call themselves Wiccans or witches just for the attention/effect. Wicca is not an ancient religion, though it does draw on the ideas of polytheism and nature worship found in older spiritual practices. However, Gardner was also heavily influenced by the ceremonial magic and occultism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

You're right about the history of Wicca, but if you read Gardner's work you will find that he actually found the use of certain drugs to be a valid form of practice. This doesn't mean you should go and do crystal meth for kicks, but the safe, controlled application of herbs like salvia can indeed bring on spiritual experiences according to many Wiccans.
