Why I choose Wicca -Part 1-

[Jusplais]

you have excelleent self awarenes and analytical skills. as you said, you chose, and not accepted tradition for its sake or what is popular. the middle person sounds lit it was most insulting to you. many catholic schemes center on miracles defining nature, had you noticed that as well?

[marie1w]

WOW..i say that all the time..i tell my family who are church fanatics that i dont need a middleman i can go directly to god and i never felt totally comfortable in churches either.

[MaryStewart]

why do women decome wiccans? lol. ever met a warlock wiccan? you got soooo duped!

[SybilSilverPhoenix]

There are male Wiccans.... They are called Wiccans or Witch if they wish to call themselves that.

Warlock actually means Oathbreaker or Traitor. I never really understood why someone would want to call them self a Warlock. Though some do so cuz they think it sounds cool.

[ThePaganMegan]

i like your ideas. i had a question though, how do u become a priestess that can legally handfast others? i would love to do that!

blessed be!

Well ya Jesus being hung on a cross is inhumain and morbid isn't that kinda the point? Well it is the point. I respect your faith and wish you the best I just thought that was a strange way of putting it. I have an open mind and love to learn about other people. My father is the same way and he is a nondenominational christian minister. I don't really see or surround myself with christians that don't know there own faith lol. My father always taught respect and understanding. ^_^Be blessed

[SybilSilverPhoenix]

An open mind is the best thing anyone can have =)

I know full well and understand the Church's view of Jesus' Death (both literal and symbolic). I get it, I see why they hold to that... it's just that isn't what I see when I look at the symbolism/realism of that man's death. I have always felt, even as a child, that Jesus didn't have to die.

I have a problem with Human Sacrifice. I understand why many ancient cultures did it (there are many reasons why) but I just don't agree with it that's all

[squirrelbuddi]

I understand.....^^ I was just posting incase someone else didn't ^_^ I love your videos.

[witchskully]

yah the hole "you sin you go to hell" thing turned me away and I started wicca when I was 12 too cool!

[BeckyEdwards2008]

Wow i like your room (:

[SybilSilverPhoenix]

That's your opinion and you are welcome to it.

I think Blind Faith in general is unhealthy ;)

[MagUalghairg1916]

And a very New-Agey response to a very New-Agey religion. This is why I see it as unhealthy.

[SybilSilverPhoenix]

New-Agey? I did not mention anything of the Meta-Physical, but rather merely my opinion.

Just as you expressed yours.

What would you have me say? That I am 'foolish' or 'irrational'? or That my way is the One True and Only Way? or That I am of 'unsound' mind? or Perhaps something else entirely? *shrugs*

Forgive me if I chose to maintain an open mind toward the Greater World around me for to do so is to grow and learn.

I found my way... and you have yours.

Good luck upon your chosen Path =)

please state your reason

I didn't think Teutonic included eastern Europe. I believe that would be Slavic.

[SybilSilverPhoenix]

I was being quick... It's along the lines of what the Vikings believes were... Odin (or Woden) and the other Aesir Gods are in it but they're names are spelled a bit differently. I meant Eastern Europe as in Germany, Austria, back to Russia and then northward. Teutonic is a different 'branch' of the form of paganism that the Vikings brought with them as they spread.

It even has roots going back to the Aryan peoples who came out of India and entered Eastern Europe between 6,ooo-7,ooo yrs ago.

O.K. I see what you mean... interesting line of research I need to follow...
