Re: Being a Wiccan without being a witch or casting spells?

I do not know what your friend means by being Wiccan either. It would be nice to know if she has read any of the works of Gerald Gardner or Vivianne Crowley.

Re: Far Right Paganism

This question is predicated on a falsehood that someone will have to "enforce" anything. People do have to enforce rules and order. Just to ask the question, you must assume that the Proletariat cannot control itself. That is the concept of 2000 year old elitism and bigotry, and a self fu...

Re: Far Right Paganism

I advocate the ownership of the means of production by the whole of humanity, a society in which there is no class. Capitalism can disappear yet there would still be classes. Societies such as the ancient Vedic civilization had its varnas – priests, warriors/rulers, merchants, and servants – and ac...

Re: Far Right Paganism

I think there's a big difference between an ideology (fascism) that promotes inequality and openly embraces the idea of the subjugation of some people by others; and an ideology (Marxism/Anarchism) that promotes radical equality and whose primary goal is a society in which all people's needs are me...

Re: Philosophical Questions About Deity, God and Wicca

SilverAntlers, you have presented some great questions! How do the God and Goddess of this specific belief answer Epicurius's question? What makes Epicurus the authority? Why do they not stop human suffering? Why do They not stop human happiness? Why do you worship them if they don't? I wouldn't wor...

Re: An Afterlife?

This is a fascinating topic, Aesiryth! I think you are on the right track when you observe cycles in the natural world and get the impression that perhaps our own personal existence is cyclical. One need not even be a Pagan of any sort to see it. I recall one of the eastern Church fathers, St. Athan...

Re: Far Right Paganism

I find two things about that webpage "interesting": 1. The author(s) warn readers against far right Paganism yet G & R is the opposite of far right, viz. , far left. At least one of their founders publicly identifies as a Marxist. 2. There was no mention of Afrocentric Kemeticism or Eg...

Hi everyone.

You can call me Appius. It is good to be here with other magically minded people. The name I am using is a Latin one that apparently has an unknown etymology to scholars. On the 13th of March this year I began a "year and a day" of learning Wicca through study and practice. At the moment I...
