Wicca is like basically family friendly druidism without all the messy blood sacrificing, shes a pagan poseur.

Claims that real witches don't need brooms to fly, yet doesn't fly around eliminating the production of these costume mockeries?

Once i did a literary theory presentation on Adrienne Rich that touched briefly on witches historically being women who were, for whatever reason, socially unacceptable in their culture, while I was dressed as a witch. This was entirely unplanned and came about because the prof, who had the worst time management, lectured too long on the day I was supposed to present, so told me I'd do it Friday, and Friday was Halloween and I wasn't about to not dress up just because suddenly my costume was hilariously on topic.

Most pagans consider wicca to be a 101 course to kinda break the christian brainwashing and introduce people to actual paganism. Staying a wiccan is like refusing to move on from high school

I had a wiccan acquaintance who always said that she knew it was a religion invented in the mid-twentieth century, but it was her religion and she was cool with it. I was always impressed.

Wicca has a lot of disparate sources. It has roots in the Theosophist movement of the late 19th century, depending on how far back you want to go.

They are still around, just waiting for people to rediscover that spirituality is better for your soul than atheism. Just like there will always be people around who demand absolute verifiable fact waiting for a resurgence of that line of thought in the mainstream, so too will there be communities of people getting high and dancing naked to celebrate the beauty of nature https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpKxWJB-viw RFC2324 has a new favorite as of 19:00 on Oct 8, 2021 |

One other dumb part about NFTs, especially the real dumb ones that get posted, the art regularly comes from avatar generators. This is why most of them from a group look samey, it's cause they are and are, mostly, procedurally generated. Here's a blog post from a dude about how 2 of his avatar generators were swiped for NFT generation. I would say this also counts as IoSM, because he starts arguing about his "moral rights" being infringed by the one NFT using the generator. Long story short, he released them under a CCA license allowing monetization, but now they're being monetized via NFT.

I have a couple of friends who, while aren't pagan, do... observe, I guess, things like Samhain, Beltane, and Yule. (Yule is fun; they host a big dinner with booze and stuff and apparently the proper Yule custom is "dinner lasts as long as it has to". Maybe that's just them.)

Do most people's families have "feast" style holidays where the meal doesn't last as long as it has to? Any food holidays we have are the days a year where I see my old decepit family and the friends stay up late into the night partying, with the usual suspects insisting everyone have fifth helpings or if they should get some more food or booze out. When my grandma was alive I can't remember a time she didn't out-party me on a party holiday.

If you accept all religions as equally valid, then a new religion that fulfils you spiritually is just as good as one that's a few thousand years old. One of my sisters has been dabbling in wicca/neo-paganism these days. She gave me a spell candle she made. It's a tea light with herbs and runes drawn on it in sharpie. It was very sweet of her.

3D Megadoodoo posted:They'd be like 40 000 times cooler* if they did wear a tall pointy hat etc. What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Hogwarts, and I've been involved in numerous secret rituals on the Taliban, and I have over 300 confirmed hexes. I am trained in astral projection warfare and I'm the top witch in the entire US. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of witches across the world and your soul is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can hex you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my thoughts. Not only am I extensively trained in astral projection combat, but I have access to the entire spellbooks of the Witch Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "funny" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have stopped. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're loving dead, kiddo.

Any religion that doesn't explicitly tell women to gently caress off is superior to the rest of em. That spell candle sounds neat.
