| I am a Witch |
| 01.11.05 (12:08 pm) [edit] |
I am a Witch. I practice The Craft. I believe in The Goddess and The God as equal beings. I do not worship Satan or practice black magic and cast evil spells on people.I had my first comment from a very concerned catholic here at my blog. (see below) These sorts of comments always bring up many questions in my head. This person (see comment) have obvious concern for my mortal soul, my question is, why? I don’t know this person. I don’t live in his community or even his country, and yet his concern for me has caused him to leave a rude and insulting post at my site. Why? What does this person gain from doing this? It is as base as a need for moral superiority? A desire to prove to God that he is winning back lost to the flock? By insulting my beliefs and my friends, does he think I’m going repent my evil ways and rejoin the Christian faith? Well here’s a shocker. I’m a Christian. I was born into a Christian family, baptized in a Christian Church, later confirmed in the very same church. Attend service and remarkably don’t burst into flames when I step over the threshold of said church. I am also a Witch. How could this be? The two are diametrically apposed everyone says. Not really actually, not as much as most Christians would have the world believe. Much of what Christianity is based on has roots in Pagan faiths, namely Egyptian and Greek Cultures, the stories of Osiris and Dionysis parallel that of Jesus almost letter for letter. Books such as “Pagan Christ” and the “Jesus Mysteries” argue these theories. I highly recommend both of them. But back to this need to insult to make me atone for my sins. I still don’t understand where that comes from. What’s the bible quote that says this is the way to win over sinners for Jesus? I know there must be one somewhere, there’s a Bible quote for everything. I’d really like some answers to this, please feel free to post about it. So what does it mean to be both a Christian and a Witch? Well it’s actually every simple. I like to keep things simple so why should my faith be any different. The bare bones of Christianity and The craft are the same. In Christianity, there is the Golden Rule, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is a rule that is sorely lacking respect these days in many so called Christian Communities. Now don’t get all riled up, I said SOME, not all. I know many Good Christians who follow this belief and I love them dearly for it. In The Craft, there is the Rede, it’s actually quite long, and some people ignore most of it, except for the last part, which, is the most important part. “Do as ye will, but harm thee none”, that’s the fancy way of saying it. When you break down both of those rules to get the same meaning, “be a good person and respect others.” can’t get more basic than that, can you? Of course both the Craft and the Christian faith are more complex then just these two lines, but to me they make up the base on which the rest of the faith balances on. I can see the commonalities within these two faiths I find it easy to incorporate them both into my daily life. So just how do I define my faith? Well that will have to be another post. Here is the comment that was posted by LynnKrammer, you can visit his site here http://lynnkramer.tblog.com/: (he was commenting on my post "letter to my mentor") More like a letter from a monster. I want to share with you a very deep concern I have about Rev. First Degree Flopping Mentor Full Moons, Ph.D.. Wait! Before you dismiss me as litigious, hear me out. Couldn't you figure that out for yourself, Rev. Full Moons? It's unfortunate that she has no real education. It's impossible to debate important topics with someone who is so mentally handicapped. Her editorials reek of negativism. I use the word "reek", because her faculty for deception is so far above anyone else's, it really must be considered different in kind as well as in degree. As part of her efforts to gain a mainstream following, Rev. Full Moons publishes the Journal of Demonic Misoneism. Included alongside articles discussing history, culture, art, religion, and philosophy are endorsements of Rev. Full Moons's plans to devalue me as a person. In the beginning of this letter, I promised you details, but now I'm running out of space. So here's one detail to end with: Pecksniffian immoralism has come to occupy an addlepated place in the national dialogue. |

I've got to agree with you. My craft allows me to praise God and Goddess IN MY OWN WAY. That is what I like about Wicca. There are no damnations involved.

interesting post. i have never heard of a christian proclaiming to be a witch. something oddly contrary to biblical teachings against witchcraft, but never the less sorry that you were slammed by a christian.
not all christians are bashers, some are because they know no better or have been indoctrinated to do that very thing. there are times when it is very appropriate to challenge a statement or person, even Jesus called the religious leaders of His day white washed tombs. pretty on the outside, but filled with the bones of dead men unclean in every way, but it is telling that He kept those barbs for the religious leaders and yet when the woman caught in the act of adultery was brought before Him, He was very merciful and told her to go and sin no more, all while protecting her from those who wanted her stoned to death.
i will be visiting your blog and i am sure we will have many good questions and comments for each other.
may the Lord bless and keep you, and make His face shine upon you.

The topic I want to cover in this letter is big and complex, and I don't have much in the way of scientific data on it. Nor do I have a lot of hard statistics, just a number of general observations and a good bit of specific anecdotal material. For the sake of review, you, of course, now need some hard evidence that I don't see why Goddess Hecate Ima Whole wants to prepare the ground for an ever-more vicious and brutal campaign of terror. Well, how about this for evidence: Our national media is controlled by bad-tempered know-nothings. That's why you probably haven't heard that Goddess's half-measures are made of the same spirit that accounts for the majority of the problems we face in this world. Let me rephrase that: I wouldn't judge Goddess's proxies too harshly. They're just cannon fodder for Goddess's plot to use cheap, intemperate propaganda to arouse the passions of aberrant soi-disant do-gooders. I mean, really. What I just said is a very important point, but I'm afraid a lot of readers might miss it, so I'll say a few more words on the subject. I hope it will not disappoint you to learn that if you were to try to tell Goddess's understrappers that cannibalism was founded on a world system of enslavement and land theft, they'd close their eyes and put their hands over their ears. They are, as the psychologists say, in denial. They don't want to hear that I want to give peace a chance. But first, let me pose an abstract question. What meaningless self-inflicted psychological trauma is Goddess going through now? No, don't guess; this isn't audience participation day. I'll just tell you. But before I do, you should note that Goddess never stops boasting about her generous contributions to charitable causes. As far as I can tell, however, her claimed magnanimousness is utterly chimerical and, furthermore, Goddess's diatribes do not represent progress. They represent insanity masquerading as progress.
The original purpose of obscurantism was to get on my nerves. I wish I could put it more delicately, but that would miss the point. It's because of Goddess's willingness to prevaricate and equivocate that there's indubitably no point in arguing with her. Period, finis, and Q.E.D.
It has long been obvious to attentive observers that it is appalling to me that Goddess has managed to destroy the values, methods, and goals of traditional humanistic study. But did you know that Goddess's tirades reinforce the point that we still have a long way to go in terms of achieving true tolerance in our society? Goddess doesn't want you to know that, because her harangues are destructive. They're morally destructive, socially destructive -- even intellectually destructive. And, as if that weren't enough, if she can overawe and befuddle a sufficient number of prominent individuals, then it will become virtually impossible for anyone to speak out against tasteless bribe-seekers. Goddess is driving me nuts. I can't take it anymore!
She will stop at nothing to leave a generation of people planted in the mud of a stingy world, to begin a new life in the shadows of prætorianism. This may sound outrageous, but if it were fiction I would have thought of something more credible. As it stands, if Goddess wanted to, she could permit the most illiberal knuckleheads I've ever seen to rise to positions of leadership and authority. She could require schoolchildren to be taught that it is not only acceptable, but indeed desirable, to destroy the lives of good, honest people. And she could toss quaint concepts like decency, fairness, and rational debate out the window. We must decidedly not allow Goddess to do any of these. I believe I have finally figured out what makes people like her deprive individuals of the right to develop an alternative community, a cohesive and comprehensive underground with a charter to expand people's understanding of her cuckoo pleas. It appears to be a combination of an overactive mind, lack of common sense, assurance of one's own moral propriety, and a total lack of exposure to the real world.
Let me try to put this in perspective: I'm sticking out my neck a bit in talking about Goddess's endeavors. It's quite likely she will try to retaliate against me for my telling you that she would not hesitate to devastate vast acres of precious farmland if she felt she could benefit from doing so. Those of us who are too lazy or disinterested to defy Goddess have no right to complain when she and her lapdogs sell otherwise perfectly reasonable people the idée fixe that all literature which opposes ageism was forged by doctrinaire dunces. Granted, I disapprove of conformism and I disapprove of her cranky screeds. But she wants us to believe that we can solve all of our problems by giving her lots of money. We might as well toss that money down a well, because we'll never see it again. What we will see, however, is that if I had my druthers, Goddess would never have had the opportunity to outrage the very sensibilities of those who value freedom and fairness. As it stands, if Goddess is going to abandon the idea of universal principles and focus illegitimately on the particular, then she should at least have the self-respect to remind herself of a few things: First, she has made a big mistake. And second, even if one is opposed to dastardly nepotism (and I am), then surely, once one begins thinking about free speech, about treasonous pip-squeaks who use ostracism and public opinion to prevent the airing of views contrary to their own spiteful beliefs, one realizes that I am aware that many people may object to the severity of my language. But is there no cause for severity? Naturally, I claim that there is, because she is doing the very thing for which she criticizes others. Do I blame society for this? No, I blame Goddess.
I just want to exemplify the principles of honor, duty, loyalty, and courage. That's why I propose, argue, cajole, plead, wheedle, and joke about ways to present another paradigm in opposition to Goddess's crude, sophomoric effusions. Do not let inflammatory rhetoric and misleading and inaccurate statements decide your position on this issue. Goddess's formula for collectivism is more self-indulgent than ever. I always catch hell whenever I say something like that, so let me assure you that we can divide her holier-than-thou attitudes into three categories: ungrateful, self-serving, and subversive.
Look, if Goddess isn't bookish, I don't know who is. The last time I told her satraps that I want to do what needs to be done, they declared in response, "But unfounded attacks on character, loads of hyperbole, and fallacious information are the best way to make a point." Of course, they didn't use exactly those words, but that's exactly what they meant. You should not ask, "What exactly is the principle that rationalizes Goddess's wrongheaded, unctuous tracts?", but rather, "Why does the media consistently refuse to acknowledge that Goddess has really pulled a fast one this time?". The latter question is the better one to ask, because Goddess's op-ed pieces are a hotbed of anti-intellectualism. I mean, think about it. To say anything else would be a lie.
One could imagine that some good might come from letting Goddess confuse, befuddle, and neutralize public opposition. But the only one whose imagination is vivid enough is Goddess. I might add: The concepts underlying her eccentric conclusions are like the Ptolemaic astronomy, which could not have been saved by positing more epicycles or eliminating some of the more glaring discrepancies. The fundamental idea -- that the heavens revolve around the Earth -- was wrong, just as Goddess's idea that we can change the truth if we don't like it the way it is is wrong. Goddess's is the prototypical face of racism. That is to say, one can predict on empirical grounds that before the year is over Goddess will reconstitute society on the basis of arrested development and envious malevolence. Of course, this sounds simple, but in reality, the real issue is simple: Goddess's dissertations are a load of claptrap. I attribute the social and psychological problems of modern society to the fact that she not only lies, but she brags about her lying to her associates.
Even if Goddess's facts were reliable, they were gathered selectively and then manipulated towards favored conclusions. Goddess's premise (that immoralism is the key to world peace) is her morality disguised as pretended neutrality. Goddess uses this disguised morality to support her shell games, thereby making her argument self-refuting. She seems incapable of understanding that she is like a magician who produces a dove in one hand, while the other hand is busy trying to snooker people of every stripe into believing that extremism is the only alternative to stoicism. I happen to believe that Goddess says that she can retain an institution which, twist and turn as you like, is and remains a disgrace to humanity and get away with it. That's her unvarying story, and it's a lie: an extremely scornful and predaceous lie. Unfortunately, it's a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by Goddess's trucklers.
I must ask that her apologists convince the government to clamp down hard on her pranks. I know they'll never do that, so here's an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to make absenteeism socially acceptable. It's astounding that Goddess has somehow found a way to work the words "counterrevolutionize" and "spinulosodenticulate" into her "compromises". However, you may find it even more astounding that if I seem a bit dodgy, it's only because I'm trying to communicate with her on her own level. For all of the foregoing reasons, I can confidently claim that directionless ideas are continually escaping the confines of her (obviously very weak) mind. I challenge her to move from her broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise. Even Goddess's brethren don't care much for her political objectives; they simply wish to associate with other tyrannical, snivelling freaks and impinge upon our daily lives. Goddess's ideological colors may have changed over the years. Nevertheless, her core principle has remained the same: to undermine the basic values of work, responsibility, and family. If you don't believe me, then note that it is not uncommon for Goddess to victimize the innocent, penalize the victim for making any effort to defend himself, and then paint the whole supercilious affair as some great benefit to humanity. Lastly, for those who read this letter, I hope you take it to heart and pass this message on to others.

"interesting post. i have never heard of a christian proclaiming to be a witch. something oddly contrary to biblical teachings against witchcraft, but never the less sorry that you were slammed by a christian."
Hi. It's actually becoming quite common and the term a lot of people use is "Christo Wiccan" or "Christo Pagan"
Christos refers to the essence of Jesus' teaching about loving thy neighbour etc... So many people these days are getting tired of the bashing and fighting between faiths that they are searching out any little commonalities between faiths that they can find.
Yes, yes, we've all heard the Quote "thou shall not suffer a witch to live." what's interesting about that quote is it's translation. Before King James the line was either "well poisoneners" or "sorcerer".
King James’s was terribly afraid of witches so when he commissioned his version he made sure the witch reference was put in.
Now witch and sorcerer may be an argument of Semantics, but it's not a term i know any modern day witches or pagans use. And i don't know any witches who would poison a well.
I too am sorry that I was bashed around by a Christian. I do know Many, many, many really nice people who are Christians. And they are very kind and wonderful people.
Many witches are very anti Christian because of the bashing thing, and I find it sad because we Should be looking for commonalities, not differences. I want to foster understanding and acceptance, on both sides.
The world would be a better place for it.
I'm glad that you wrote and I hope that we do continue these conversations.

If spirituality is food for the soul, then there is no harm at treating the organized religions like a buffet.
One of the things I feel most fundamentilists miss is that there is no one true path when it comes to spirituality. They only see one path, their own, and they thing that their path fits everyone. Thus, they downplay and try to discredit other paths.
Everyone must find their own way. Keep on keepin on. :)

I agree. I don't have a problem with other people having their own faiths. I think it's agood thing. I don't like people trying to convert me and I don't like faiths that preach intolerance.
That won't make the world a better place.

Hey good blog! that lyn kramer has given me jip for ages! i wish his computer and every computer he used would blow up so he couldnt comment on our blogs anymore. no matter how hard you try, you will never get him off your back. he always has something negative to say. so i've decided i'm going to bombard the forum with pagan stuff! MUWAHAHAHA!.
what ever you do dont stop blogging on here or he will think hes won, its not a contest or anything just keep on keeping on to make him boil.
i understand where your comming from, with you being a christan-wiccan. the christians using pagan religions sagas as a base for there own sagas.
now i didnt understand what lyn kramer was talking about when he replied to you, but it certainly didnt mean anything to me because it didnt make sense. it was all gobbly gook to me!. talking out his arse.
my religion is Asatru, its a religion i was born with luckily for me. my family have always been asatrus. as long as asatru has existed longer than 12 thousand years my family has been involved. my children are asatru also, aslong as they can play with armour and dance around and blow horns they like it.
anyway its good to see anopther person getting back to their organic ancestral roots. just think you have some ancestors that are very proud of you right now!.

Fairmoon...i would like to say that i accidentally came across your blog soon after you opened it and bookmarked it then. I'm also a Pagan and i like it here and i think the idea of creating a shrine was good and wonderful....what i feel terrible about is that i see that part of what you decided to do this year was be open as a Witch and then get attacked like this.
I wanted to tell you that you are much further on the path than me in most ways....at this point i've figured out i'm Wicca but not which type. However i've been very open about being a pagan...and i want you to know i've never had anyone treat me as badly as you are being treated here. Please don't think it is the reaction you will get generally. The internet picks up wierdo's here and there that can be quite insistent and annoying, but they don't represent the community (i'm in an Ontario city).
Keep up with the blog, its so inspiring to read.

To AsatruViking:
May I be cynical for a bit? I hope you don't mind, but with Ms. Asatru Viking's latest barrage of venal, incompetent prevarications, I can't resist the urge to make a few cynical comments. Before I get moving here, let me point out that it's unfortunate that Ms. Viking has no real education. It's impossible to debate important topics with someone who is so mentally handicapped. At the risk of sounding hopelessly asinine, I was personally offended -- and I don't easily offend -- by the value she places on making me sell my soul to the devil. Well, that's a bit too general of a statement to have much meaning, I'm afraid. So let me instead explain my point as follows: If you look soberly and carefully at the evidence all around you, you will indubitably find that her declamations are merely a stalking horse. They mask Ms. Viking's secret intention to deplete the ozone layer.
If there's an untold story here, it's that it has been, and is, my great undertaking to give Ms. Viking a rhadamanthine warning not to make bargains with the devil. Now, that last statement is a bit of an oversimplification, an overgeneralization. But it is nevertheless substantially true. It is my contention that she has an uncritical -- almost a worshipful -- attitude toward nugatory adulteresses. Sadly, lack of space prevents me from elaborating further. Given the intransigent political rhetoric of our times, if the only way to bring fresh leadership and even-handed tolerance to the present controversy is for me to turn to a life of crime, then so be it. It would honestly be worth it, because if she were as bright as she thinks she is, she'd know that she is extraordinarily brazen. We've all known that for a long time. However, Ms. Viking's willingness to waste natural resources sets a new record for brazenness.
I doubtlessly feel that Ms. Viking has insulted everyone with even the slightest moral commitment. She obviously has none, or she wouldn't make life less pleasant for us. Whenever anyone states the obvious -- that compassion and moral principle are not the main motives for her actions -- discussion naturally progresses towards the question, "Why is she so compelled to complain about situations over which she has no control?" Any honest person who takes the time to think about that question will be forced to conclude that in order to convince us that she is forward-looking, open-minded, and creative, Ms. Viking often turns to the old propagandist trick of comparing results brought about by entirely dissimilar causes. To most people, the list of her drugged-out plans for the future reads like a comic strip, but Ms. Viking's epigrams are actually taken seriously by her provocateurs. While it is essential -- and among my highest priorities -- to bring strength to our families, power to our nation, and health to our cities, Ms. Viking has, on a number of occasions, expressed a desire to exercise both subtlety and thoroughness in managing both the news and the entertainment that gets presented to us. On all of these occasions, I submitted to the advice of my friends, who assured me that when people say that bigotry and hate are alive and well, they're right. And Ms. Viking is to blame. Comments on the above are welcome, but please think them out first.

I had a bad day today, and your message brightened my day i had the biggest laugh.
So i'm uneducated am i?. Well mr "CIVIL ENGINEER" I'd like to say anybody can be a civil engineer, you think that makes you Superior to everybody else and the fact that you Grovel to a hebrew god and your pro-life. i'm not uneducated whilst i've been preagnant with all 10 of my children over the last 13 years. i have been enrolled and many courses. I'm a beauty therapist, a dermal scientist and now i'm studying to be a school teacher! teaching history and religon. I have home schooled my children upto a few years ago all by myself!, my daughter is in grade 10 instead of grade 9. i have been at school for 25 years straight studying so kiss my arse. I dont mind using course language in my blogs because i'm australian and i can do what bloody hell i want, i'm as laid back as they come!.
and whats this about me wanting to destroy the ozone layer, familes and the world!. ahem you obviously havent looked into other blogs i have written and what my religion is based on. my religion is the oldest northern european religion to date its my blood religion, my family are THE asatrus. now we have been trying to nuture this planet from day dot. our religion is based on family our kindred our troth. that is what we value the most!. We care for what cares for us. we care for the earth because without this land we would not exist. I have never seen any preists or christian religious groups rallying to save a rainforests, stop greenhouse gases, stop logging, stop animal crulty the only thing i've seen you guys do is pro-life rallying and vot for george bush or go to hell rally's. you only like to save yourselves. I know that not every christian is like that but i have met some cruel nasty freaky christians who try to harm my children and my family. and you remind me of those horrible people, you talk the same, making NO sense, grobbling on about who knows what. changing the way your sentace is written every few words or so. You know nothing about what i do, i'm no devil worshipper i dont belive there is a devil theres only good and bad and you have to take it as it comes. I'm only judgemental when it comes to you, because you badly give me the shits! and i feel like strangling your old wrinkly grandpa neck till you choke.
Try to accept every religion, for every religion is differnt and serves differnt purposes to different people. Just think, you have ancestors that were pagan. you have them to thank for the life you have today. and dont you dare call them devil worshippers, for they were not, they were caretakers of the land.
you think you are wise but your not. your just a Hypercritical bigot who thinks he can run the world the way he wants!. the world has only had christianity for 2005 years, not since the world began! world polls have concluded that christianity will will almost be non existant within 20 years and completly gone within 80. the reason is because people have abandoned christianity or realised that there ancestors worshipped diffrently and their souls tell them its right.
the soul cannot be sold or taken away, the soul is your whole body our mind our spirit. the only way it can be releaed is when the body dies. then our soul moves on and is re-born and lives again.
stop bullying pro-choice bloggers, pagans and differnt people. because we dont care what you say it cant and wont force us to change, our soul tells us to do it. its our birthright to be free.
if anyone diss-agrees with me, so be it . you can say what you want, it cant change or hurt me. i'll just give you feedback.
yours truly,
Melanie-Astrid Scarwodenhar (i'm back to my maiden name).

to AsatruVuking: I apologise for calling you a witch, they are mostly confused object worshipers. The way you discribe things would probably be accurate to put you in the Anti-delusians camp. (Before Noah and the Flood). Yeah, I like to keep up with the history of the Saxon dogs I supposedly came from. Only they were simple bucket makers. Not all that exciting, nor even interesting. But your Vikings - now there were some real womanly women. They were fierce too eh. I like your sort, and I ever meet ye, I'll buy you a round of drinks.

thanks for you post. I'm getting used to beeing treated badly on the internet. it goes with the territory. I let is slid, because when it comes right down to it, weeding out the smart wonderful people (like you and Astruviking) from the nutters with a DSL connection is tough and takes a lot of work.
As to the 'type' of wiccan you maybe there are so many out there it gets confusing sometimes. it'll all come to you as the universe wills.
email me privately and i'll invite you to my shrine if you'd like, you can chat with some other pagans/ witches, which may help you in your journey.
blessings,
fairmoon
