Crikey, even Wiccans can be petty and stupid. As if we didn't get enough bad press from the fundies...

I heard the original story, but I missed this follow-up. Thanks!

Wiccans? What wiccans,...all I see are eclectic idiotics.

Maybe I am missing something.

Well, the article calls them Wiccans, but then even Pagans have trouble distinguishing the term.

Salem is not like the rest of the world. Too bad they get so much press.

[vicki-sine.livejournal.com]

Noted.

[lizziebelle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is too bad, because people then think that's what the rest of us are like. I think they seek it out, taking a leaf from LC's book. ;)

What's a Wiccan?

[lizziebelle.livejournal.com]

Wicca is a specific branch of Witchcraft, but it often gets used as a generic term by the press (and Pagans who don't know any better).

[ami-1.livejournal.com]

I was kind of teasing you. I actually know a few Wiccans. ; )

Seriously though I'm enjoying getting to know more about it. I just don't care to know too much more about the ones in the story anymore than I care about right wing Christian fundamentalists. It's a very strange world indeed.

Good to know we're normal! ; )

I thought you might be joking, but one can never tell. ;)

Yeah, there's idiots in all places. And they're the ones who tend to make the news (as we well know).

You are a breath of fresh air. It's refreshing to have someone take the time for explanations.

I know Sharon

Back a million years ago, she was in a meditation group I was in. She also used to have a little shop in Salem called Black Cat Books and carry Horns and Crescent.

My, my, how things have changed.

I guess you just never know how people are going to turn out!
