you should read the bible and understand this stuff isnt good

[MagickTv]

I thank you for your comments, but understand that most Pagans and wiccans, myself especially included have placed the Bible into a different perspective. We beleive that it is simply one of many books that tell a mythological story, some truth, some allegory, some out and out fabrications, and other aspects into a definitive volume that has been altered over the millenia as a control mechanism in society. It is no less valuable then the Vedic, Koran, and dozens of ther central religious texts.

[MagickTv]

I had the great good fortune to have a teacher who always emphasized that our way was OUR way, and others could be expected to sometimes have different ideas and customs which I must respect: and I have been blessed to see this first hand, having had the opportunity to interact with widely differing Wiccan, Pagan, Psychic, and Spiritual groups. I cannot emphasize too strongly my belief that as a movement our whole is greater than the sum of our parts.

[MagickTv]

In my own opinion one of the most important aspects of our movement is that it has tremendous vitality/variety and that we respect variations in thought and practice. One of my goals in this program is to showcase the many widely differing forms our movement takes, and to help people understand that -to paraphrase the famous Diamond Analogy- each different way of practicing is like a facet of a single, marvelous stone.

the bible is the bloodiest book i have ever read.after reading the bible i totally gave up on cristianity and right now am happy wiccan.

it's amazing to see such a thriving Witch and Wiccan culture in Salem, especially with its past. I also read that Witches and Quakers were banned from Massachusetts... I think it's great. I wish I could overcome my jadedness about Christianity... I mean, I know, if I think about it, that they aren't bad, but... I have this not so good relationship with Christianity, but whatever... I love this series, keep up the good work guys and gals!

Yes, your firm grasp on proper grammar would certainly mark you as far less "weak minded" and "simple minded" than the people in this video...

As far as being sheep, well please tell me which path requires more faith and strength of will; doing years of research on dozens of spiritual paths and belief systems, or blindly following the dominant faith of the area you live in, or the teachings of your parents, simply to fit in with others?

Please consider your comments before posting.

LOL......Sure are some weak minded goofy fuckers. These people are always the social outcasts. The fat and the plain the simple minded and sheep. Keep em outta the gene pool.

I wanna make sex with you

[mysticjason05]

Yes all Wiccans are witches but not all witches are Wiccan and thus don't always follow the God Goddess model. Not everyone assigns a gender to the force that's within all things.
