"Nuance. It's what I don't do".

- one of our local Pagan organizers

(Sorry, no, I won't say which one).

At a number of points where I know people enter this site, especially from the Witches' Voice, I post notices reminding the visitor that this is not a Wiccan group. Usually, this is done to save myself and whoever else decides to handle correspondence, a perennial nuisance : those who can't seem to understand that "Wiccan" and "polytheistic" aren't synonymous. We probably aren't adding to their level of understanding, but at least they might become convinced that we are too clueless to understand their deep insights, and go elsewhere. Either way, mission accomplished.

In the case of this article, the issue that arises is a far different one. A refusal to accept the reality that fundamental differences exist between Wicca (and other Occult paths) and what we do here not only is an annoyance for us, but poses a hazard to the one who refuses to do so. To understand why, it is instructive, first, to understand what we are doing. Once you do, the dangers of philosophical sloppiness on this point will become painfully clear.
