Clarifying
Quote From: liatsunami Well the whole conversation about Paganism and Wicca got started because someone said they studied it, and I was just tryign to get across they better be careful what they read, because a lot of it is pure JUNK. It's written by people with NO understanding of anthropology or history. Now, I will say that some of the literature on Wicca and Paganism is insightful, but again most of it is garbage.
Now the fact that you can tell me what you believe and why explains to me that, "Okay, this person is actually following this particualr spiritual path legitimately" but of all the people I meet, you're in the minority hun, and good gor you. :)
You'll also find that MOST of the world's religions have the same theme "Don't be a jerk to other people." and "You'll get what you deserve in the end". Thank you for responding and clarifing your post. I agree that a person should be careful what they read because there are some books out there that are not accurate and that is why I am very careful when I choose to purchase a book. I'm sorry if my post was a little forward, I just want people to understand that Paganism is a legitimate religion and we are not devil worshippers. How can we be when he is not part of our culture? There is evil and there is good, I do believe in that, you cannot have one without the other. "You'll get what you deserve in the end" is also something I believe, it is called Karma. An' ye harm none, do what ye will.
