In Raven's first post, she asks the group if it is serious. Let us
remember this post, if someone should ask "what reason does the group
have to lie about Blackbane's behavior?". The answer is simple - bad
blood between Raven and most of the rest of regulars in the group. Raven
hears the word "magic", and wonders if those claiming to be capable of it,
are crazy. Time for a little common sense, now. If someone asks you if you
are crazy, ranting at them isn't going to convince anyone that you are
sane. Ignoring them or explaining yourself calmly, if the situation calls
for it, are effective - but noone was to try either of these two, for some
months.
An outsider encountering the group at that time, who had thought that
Wiccans were a pack of raving lunatics, would probably have felt that his
suspicions had been confirmed by the responses. That much having been
said, I would disagree with Raven's assertion that her opinions on these
subjects, are clearly and certainly correct. What makes her so absolutely
sure, for example, that Aphrodite isn't real?

Seriously, are you folks for real? Does dancing nude under a full moon in
your backyard really turn you on? Are all thruster working up there, or is
everyone ready for the rubber farm? I mean come on be for real, chanting
to a tree or a rock while yapping to invisible god(dess) that is/are not there
in the pitch black dark doesn't seem all that normal to me. KNOCK, KNOCK,
KNOCK, hello anybody up there or is Mr. Gray-Matter on vacation.
I have NO religion short of the 1st Amendment, not Christian nor Satanic or
Jewish or any other. So don't take this as some religious evangelist coming
on to you folks. Nor is this a flame bait to freak you out. No in fact,
I'm getting one hell of a good laugh out of reading this group. So much so I
would like to know where in the Northern Virginia Area I can walk into one
of your mentally disturbed Wicca stores so I can have a bursting good
laugh looking at all your want-to-be-a-witch stuff. You know: the oils and
candles and yes those "jet powered brooms"; I gotta have one of those; always
wanted to go to the moon on one of them.
Sit back and look at yourself. Does all this traditional ranting and
raving type rituals really obtain any end result? Does the boggy man
really wuussshh out of your pentagram and vanish over the horizon on some
unknown mission and destination. This is pathetic, you folks need some real
mental help here. You know living in some sort of fantasy is not
healthy. Don't you think it's time you permently ground yourselves. Trust
me, those god(dess) you THINK are out there [really they ain't] will not
mind if you just leave them in peace and quit bugging them.
Have you ever walked down the street and seen one of them homeless folks
ranting and raving to themselves or to some invisible buddy and you think the
poor fellow has lost it. Take a good hard look in the mirror and I will
assure you in there glazing back is that same poor old fellow.
Yup, got such a good hard laugh at how many of this Earth's population has
moved on to that great Wacco Farm I just had to get "To Ride A Silver
Broomstick" by Silver RavenWolf and read on. Yeah, even picked me out a
nice name that you folks would just love "Raven BlackBane". Well
anyhow (am I raving on?; geezz thought you were use to this; you are ain't
you? I mean raving at the moon seems all to normal for you) I read the book
from front to back and then had to go to the Emergency room as my laughter
ruptured my spleen. In fact I should have started from the end of the book
which lists several Wicca contacts; Ohm yeah all American On Line. Well
golly-be that explains it all right there. Every one knows that only folks
from Saint Elisabeth uses AOL. I give the book only one good mark; the witch
(I guess) on the front cover ain't all that bad looking. But if you really
look at her, notice how sadly lost she appears. Her eyes glazing endlessly
in a dark void only lit by the full moon in hopes of finding something that
just never is there (and never will you freaks from some strange circus). Yup,
this poor old lonely witch must be color blind as her broom sure as hell
ain't silver.
Who ever she has been milking has really dragged her t**s down to her hip;
maybe that's why she is so sad. Now going on to the next figure/picture
(page xiv); what the h**l is this; witches were uniforms and metals; looks
like a bl***y Russian outfit. Well the other figures are just as bad. I
notice the one on page 276. Women like "PAM"s; ain't PAM a name of a girl?
If girls like things called PAM doesn't this figure have some sub-mental
meaning like queer. Whatever.
Look the fact is, Wicca (which should be WACCO) is for the mental
disturbed; folks that just have failed to get a true grasp on reality and
some how let it split through their oily hands.
What is "Merry Meet" and "Harm none, do as you please" (remember telling my
sysop how peed-off you are about this is post is harming me so don't be a
hippocrit since I am doing as I please by smashing the bloody truthful
reality in your face some what harshly is not harming you).
O.K., this is how I see it all. You know this all a bunch of (deleted).
I am
giving you the beniffit of the doubt and assume that your candles are all
lit in the right places. It sort of a Dungeon and Dragon type of thing, you
have your fun, do your dance and then leave knowing it was all in fun and
excitement knowing full well that there is no such things as Aphrodite,
Aradia, Arianrhod, or them watch towers buggers. You know full well that
amulets, herbs, and spells will not protect you but rather resort to mace or
a gun if harm comes by. You telling me a stupid amulet will ward off some
Ape looking thief. Yea right, he'll snatch it right out of your hand and
smack you up sine the head with that stone. Now I'll agree herbs will
(might) heal you since most median is based on such. No crystal balls will
tell you nothing that ain't already in your sick head. And just why the
hEEl is it called web weaving? I call it one psycho hunting down another.
Yea the one I like the most is "The book of shadows", man now that gets
my wilily just will-lying. I mean I am so scared that my shaking hands can
make really good marteenies. Don't tell me you have skeletons in them
there book partner.
That fact is YOU AIN'T NO WITCH; ifen yous was you would not drop the word
"Witch" from "Witchcraft". Which by the way reminds me when I first heard
the words "The Craft" I tghthought that had something to do with "WarCraft"
Yup, watched the movie called "The Craft". When you can start flying
around and make clouds and wind come from blue sky and shake the earth and
make ex-boy friends think your some other witch that he likes; till you can
do REAL Magic(k) like summons REAL demons or other boggy man from the
earth or ground or what not, then I will continue to view you as folks that
have one major mental problem who needs to see the shrink (yet just another
witch I guess, ... witch doctor ...).
Well in passing; I fear not your hex for mine is stronger.
Hum., now I see why men give women diamonds; according to witchcraft it
aids in healing the mental scr**ed up.
mm
BTW (hum that's By The Way) are there any REAL WITCHes out there? You
know, that can do real magic that has real results (ie., the boggy man does
fly out of the pentagram and does go on a known mission to a known
destination). Want-ta-be fakes need not answer.
