Thanks for the commentary, video and otherwise. However I am surprised at what the commentary has turned into. No one is talking about polyamory which is what this video is about. Not witchcraft, not satanism, not Christianity. Take a look at the video and what is being said and then comment. Thanks- HKyle1

Live and let live my friends. Other ideas exist in the world. Buy them or don't. As Oberon himself would say, if you don't like it you can't have any! Don't watch my videos if you don't like Paganism....it's my life's work. Do us both a favor and don't fear monger on my comments. -HKyle1

Paganism has never had a law to scare someone to find sexuality wrong. Polyamory is just natural to some people to pratice it and you would be surprise who practices it they claim to be another faith. Oberon is just open to talk about his sexuality which he's not embarrassed about. Please stop it with the bashing and cruel comments...Honestly it's already enough to see video's where people bashing pagans

[PrinceChristopher1]

Don't even pay any attention to those people. They're all brainwashed by either Christianity or Islam.

quite interesting information who makes a good point when he says wgy should you abandon ur lover if u love someone else, this would end terrible divorces. He also makes a good poit that this has been around for thousands of years

@Kaptinkombat and others

Polyamory is about love not sex, better to leave ones mouth closed and be thought ignorant, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. sex is a part of any good relationship. Its the monogamous folks that are running around cheating and lying, and being dishonest with each other.

And if he coined the word polyamory 40 years ago it didn't become known in the community till about 20 years ago.

@kaptinkombat The reason that polyamory is at the forefront of his profile is because his wife and he coined the term 40+ years ago. AND because people will take the most controversial aspects of anything they don't understand and run with it. If you watch the video he down plays polyamory.

Pagans practice varying degrees of poly/mono.

I fully support people who can live the polyamorous life style in honesty and love. It is not in my personal nature to live that way. I see nothing wrong about loving multiple people sexually. so long as it is done with honesty and consent. What I find dangerous are people who pretend to be monogamous while they run off and lie, cheat and hurt people. If we were more socially mature and tolerant to this lifestyle there would be a lot more happy people and fewer divorces.

i've been reading his 2 most famous books the Grimoire for the apprentice wizard,and Companion for the apprentice wizard and they are AWESOME and i have been a pagan my whole life.i really want to meet him someday

[wafflesmacduff]

I met this guy at the St. Louis Pagan picnic last June. Real cool guy. Not only is he wise, but he's also laid back as well.

[gormanilius]

Look Guys. Im a skeptic. I never believed in any religion. I picked up his Grimoire when I was 14, mainly due to the Harry Potter craze. Well I read the book, and although I did not learn how to cast 'magic missle' or whatever =p I did find it a very entertaining book.

I no longer own it(damn crazy ex)but I distinctly remember a passage in the end that stated to beware of sexual predators, and report them.

As a soon to be student of History, as well of all religion etc,I will look more into it
