I am not intolerant to your "religion" I am fully aware that you're a follower and Wicca was resurrected back in the 60's by douchebags like yourself who latched on to the new age movement. It's no less ridiculous than any other religion imo. You're free to be a douchebag. I will never prevent any of you sissies from putting on mascara and believing you're going to be reincarnated to learn from your past mistakes and become a better witch. You might be right. I make fun of all people who take themselves too seriously. I ridicule and second guess my beliefs all of the time.

I am an equal opportunity offender.


What I will not tolerate is douchebags with those beliefs who dismiss and look down on others opinions and try and persecute them and single out people they don't like as racists and intolerant.

What I'm intolerant of is fake, phony motherf.uckers. And you're one of them.
Ok, You are free to call me all the names you want, point taken. Regarding my beliefs however, while again you are free to disregard them, perhaps you should at least get them right....modern Wicca was resurrected (your term) in the 40's but Witchcraft has existed longer than any other current belief, evidence dating back to 5000BC. Don't wear makeup or any other silliness, and reincarnation has nothing to do with "getting better" it is part of the soul's quest for knowledge. I don't know how you define fake and phony...I am honest with my posts and disagreement with my point of view is opinion...I have mine and you have yours.

Hence I said resurrected. And unless you're like 80 years old then your salad years were in the 60's, no? Well in the 60's the new age movement helped bring Wicca to the trendy hippies and non-conformists.

And we can argue all day over the difference between "getting better" and knowledge. To me they're two peas in a pod.

True to a degree but Wicca has experienced the most growth in the US in the last 20 years or so. I understand your view on "getting better" and knowledge but to me "getting better" implies that the soul is either good or evil, constructs which don't apply in my faith.

So what sect do you fall under? Do you believe in good and evil in any sense? And if so, how can there be good and evil when it doesn't involve the soul?

Is reincarnation just wordplay for improving in the art of magic?

I consider myself a traditional witch in the Celtic tradition, not impressed with a lot of the ceremony of modern Wiccan movements. Yes, there is good and evil and life's conflict involves the constant battle between the two. The soul, on the other hand is immortal...viewed as a piece of The One (God), good and evil are not constructs that apply to the soul, they are earthly constructs.

So you're a true believer. I can respect that. You're right about the rising popularity the past 20 years. I'm a little skeptical and believe it's mostly guys and their reason for becoming a witch is the small chance they can find a female Wiccan that looks like...

LOL! Actually the majority of Wiccans are female, many covens consist only of females. Historically, male witches were most often targeted by society but recently many females are attracted to Wicca due to the belief in an almighty being who is neither male or female and an over-emphasis (my belief) of the Goddess as opposed to equality between the God and Goddess (both being aspects of The One, not separate entities).
