you are NOT fat or ugly and you should be proud to be a wiccan. Forget the ignorant naysayers.

'Wiccanism' lol

A more detailed list of problems with the "modern priesthood" in pagan faiths can be found on Pagan Centered Podcast, Episode 84

@THEsonOfPan We could totally call PCP effect on Wiccanism though

[RosesofAmber]

SonofPan makes a lot of valid claims. I would also like to say that while age is just a number, psychologically the frontal lobe is not fully developed till ya hit about 22, so you're not able to become a high priestess till then. Self-initiation doesn't really make you a high priestess, it makes you a devotee.

There are many that are ordained that can perform funeral rites through pagan seminary.

Wiccans still believe in God, they just separate one concept into several (Gaia being one)

@THEsonOfPan Judging from the number of comments this one message took and the amount of time and space we wasted discussing this, I find that neither one of us has anything to gain from this conversation.

I am effectively ending our exchange with this:

You are entitled to your beliefs and I to mine. Let us end this quarrel as we should. On good terms.

Blessed be. ☼

[THEsonOfPan]

@MissFangbanger ...verify your claims.

[THEsonOfPan]

@MissFangbanger That's not counting the year that I spent as a mormon in the Aaronic Priesthood. Though we were not taught funeral rites and such (that was left to the higher priesthood) we were taught other rites and blessings that we were to perform. But again, it was not a title we just took for ourselves and paraded around as. What makes it a laughing stock for someone like you to claim it is that there is no evidence, no proof of qualifications or training, and no adult oversight to...

[THEsonOfPan]

@MissFangbanger It's not rude, it's fact. Unfortunate experience alone does not qualify you to be a priestess and to say that a high priest or priestess is not qualified to perform funeral rights shows your lack of understanding of the basic duties of such a position. That, in turn, is what should prevent you from addressing yourself as such. I myself refrain addressing myself as high anything. I know, though I have been wiccan for almost six years, that I am not qualified to be a high priest.

[MissFangbanger]

@THEsonOfPan Funeral rites. Really? Most high priests and priestesses aren't legally qualified to do this sort of thing.

Not to mention that it is not the way we lay the body to rest, but how the soul passes on. We do not focus on what will happen when one of us dies. We focus on serving Gaia in the present. That's all she could ask for. It's what we are born to do.

As for being prepared for grief and easing pain, I am as prepared as any parent, child, etc would be for a loved one to pass.

[MissFangbanger]

@THEsonOfPan Years of hard work. Right. How many years have you been a Wiccan?

Also, THEsonOfPan, you should know that age has nothing to do with strength, maturity, or experience. I've had more unfortunate experiences than most people have in a lifetime.

And saying that I make our religion a laughing stock is quite rude, and frankly spawns from a lack, or corruption, of education.

You may believe what you will, but I am simply following the will of Gaia and finding my own moral path.

[THEsonOfPan]

@MissFangbanger To say that my religion has a 14 year old high priestess makes a laughing stock out of the position and even the religion itself. It takes years of hard work and learning to actually earn that title. You don't just take it for your own or happen by it. There's a lot of power and responsibility that comes with that title because there will be situations requiring a level of strength, maturity, and experience that someone as young as you just won't have.
