The Gaia forums seem to me to be FULL of Wicca!snobs who will jump down your throat unless you've been super-secretly initiated and know secret names and oathbound material (that Gerald Gardner in all probability mostly made up anyway). I think these people are the worst kind of exclusionary fanatics. Pursue your own ideas of religion and find like-minded friends. Leave the fanatics to their own devices and do what works for you. "Find your bliss," as Joseph Cambell said.


Truer words have rarely been spoken, or typed as the case may be.

The worst part about "Wicca!snobs" is that most of them aren't even Wiccan or religious at all for that matter.

Oh man, I hear that. British Traditional Witches are also pretty bad, and I've met some Heathens who are downright nasty. Most of the Wiccan Wicca!Snobs seem to be either Alexandrian or Gardnerian (though some Gardnerians even look down on Alexandrians--figure that one out!)

There was a forum post I saw today where someone wondering about Wicca. I pointed out that some Wiccans accept eclectic practices and some do not.

It's religious exclusionism to the point where some (Not all) Gardnerians/Alexandrians/Heathens/British Traditional Witches/Random snobby Pagans of all sorts/Crowleyites won't even consider you to be Wiccan unless you're initiated by a coven that can trace it's roots back far enough and know all the super-sekrit "oathbound" rituals (which trace some of their roots to Hebrew ceremonial magic. Try wrapping your head around THAT one) and the super-speshul names of the super-sekrit Goddess and God.

I then told the OP that eclectic and solitary Wiccans were--generally speaking--more accepting of eclectic and solitary practice.

I didn't expect the Wiccan Inquisition.

(Required follow-up joke: NOBODY EXPECTS THE WICCAN INQUISITION!)

Buuuttt...it happened. One person was quick to reply and, uh, inform me that "solitary and eclectic practices aren't Wiccan". Not that this person didn't consider them to be Wiccan, or a specific group didn't consider them to be Wiccan, but straight up "IT'S NOT WICCA IF YOU'RE SOLITARY OR ECLECTIC BECAUSE I SAID SO AND SO DOES MY COVEN". *eyeroll*

I politely informed her that while she might believe so, there are plenty of solitary and eclectic practitioners out there who DO, in fact consider themselves Wiccan. Also told her that I'm not Wiccan, so the argument isn't really up to me, and that while she was welcome to exclude them from her own Wiccan practices, not everyone agrees with her.

I always try to be excruciatingly polite on the Gaia religious forums. I do NOT set out to pick fights,but when somebody yells out a broad, overreaching statement like that....it just ticks me off. >_<

In the end, who even CARES what other people think of you and how your live your life? It's your life--live it to the fullest and have no regrets. You'll probably end up happier than the Wicca!Police (Many of whom, as you've said, aren't even Wiccan!) who are always ranting and moaning about religious misappropriation, and the importance of being in a coven and blah blah blah, etc. (Cue that Ke$ha song--I don't really like her as an artist, but her music is appropriate for certain occasions).

Sorry if this came off a little angry. I have nothing against Gardnerians and Alexandrians or what they practice in general. I do, however, have something against religious intolerance.

So yeah. This reply kinda ran away with me. Sorry. @_@

I don't really want to derail the welcome thread any further but I'll just say that I agree with just about everything you've said. Holier-than-thou types always get under my skin. The funniest part is that the Gardner fundamentalists fight tooth and nail over the label of Wicca when Gardner never even used that word to describe the religion he created. It's just dumb.

Agreed. The only reason I'm so up-in-arms is because I keep seeing the same story about being flamed by fanatics on Gaia, and it saddens me. I'm adding you to my friends list, because you're awesome, and that way at least having this conversation in the welcome thread will have some sort of a point. ^^

EDIT: Yo are already on my friendslist, and I am a horrible person with terrible memory. My deepest apologies. -_-

Well this is turning out quite well. It has suddenly occurred to me that I have not taken the time to introduce myself. As the captain of this guild I should have done this already, so here goes, I am an atheist and a skeptic. That being said most of the skeptics on Gaia make my blood boil. Skepticism is a good thing, it keeps you from being taken by every charlatan that comes down the pike, but a good skeptic asks for evidence with which to form or modify their own beliefs, IE. they are open to being corrected. Most of the self proclaimed skeptics on Gaia are not open minded at all, they are nothing more than close minded know-it-alls who like attacking others to make themselves feel better. All that being said please feel free to post threads, discuss stuff, disagree about stuff, ect. just keep it respectful. And if I ask questions please believe it is because I am sincerely interested in your opinion. Oh and feel free to disagree with me, the whole idea of peer review is to discuss and debate with the intended purpose of discovering the truth about any given subject.

Hello Everyone!
I'm Voni and I'm 22 years old (as of August 21st). I am Pagan. I've been practicing since I was 8, aside my Christian phase for a few months when I was 12. I draw influence from several different paths. Some of my favorite past times are writing my own spells and scrying. Some of my favorite mundane activities include gaming(PC, Xbox, and PS3), geocaching, and playing music xd

As long as I have been practicing and growing I still feel like i don't know much. So I am looking forward to learning some new things in this guild smile

It's nice to meet all of you heart

Greetings,
My name is Nyx Reborn or Shevaun if you wish, I am 20 years old and I am an Eclectic Pagan working on becoming a Night Witch. I first came into Paganism after reading a book from the house of night series, it wasn't what was happening in the books, but the symbol. I drew the triple moon symbol 2 years before reading the book, then when I read about it I had to look more into the symbol itself. That lead me to becoming a pagan and have been a pagan for almost 2 years now. I had been mostly just a spiritualist for most of my life before being lead to paganism.
Besides the european magicks, I also incorporate the native magicks of North America. I myself am part American Indian (Algonquin, Cherokee, and by marriage, Pomonkey) but I was raised among those who fallow the Lakota traditions. I believe in many gods/goddesses along with their being one true being, the source of all energies and creation, it has no name, no true identity, it is neither evil nor good, it created the gods/goddesses, it is a being of its own. I also believe in the existence of most, if not all, the mythical beings, and believe their are more than just humans among us. I know I may seem odd or weird, but I am one not to care what other people think of me. I also believe in reincarnation and keeping the balance. I am very open minded, but please don't get upset if I question you or seem a little cautious about some things, I have had too many fluffybunny moments and they have ruined one relationship, and almost ruined this one, so if I don't completely believe you that is why.
Now, I too have had a run in with the Wicca!Police (love the name lol) and I think their claims are very narrow minded and hypocritical, I got into a debate about the usage of the title druid, even backed myself with sources, and yet they tore my defense up with their statements and nothing to back them up. I left that guild, one thing I cannot stand is a zealot, and I pity them for it seems they cannot see past the ends of their noses. But one thing I have decided and realized that if its not my culture, if it does not involve me, then its not my place to say what is and isn't something and who does and doesn't have a right to it.
What I believe is if your heart says you are, then you are. Your religion/faith/belief truly has nothing to do with your lineage/race. If you uphold to that system of belief/religion/faith then the spirits will see you of that religion/belief/faith.
Sorry if this got a little lengthy and maybe slightly emotional, I just hate being ganged up on with supposed facts with nothing to back them up.
If you wish to get to know me better either comment on any of the threads I may post or PM, I hope I get to know many of you and become good friends if not at least colleagues, many blessings,
Nyx Reborn.

Heyho,

I'm Saiya. I'm learning, searching, and looking for my 'thing' smile I love Nature, The Moon, animals, just....everything! I feel a deep connection to the Moon and Japan that to me is just unexplainable in any simple terms. I am Cancer and I love everything about my star sign, except maybe the Crab bit. But I can be 'Crabby' xD

I'm free for conversation, but keep in mind I am a massive Newbie. <3

Dynarghow! I thought it best to start via the introduction thread, as is net tradition. I'll keep this brief, as my verbosity shalt no doubt express itself in later posts.

I am a Cornu-Norman Thanatologist, which I suppose would be labelled erroneously as "Celtic/Norse Aghora" for ease of reference, but personally, I find a Game of Thrones quote best to describe my path.

"There is but one God, and xyr name is death"

Yeah, so the guy said "his" in the original, but death is obviously androgynous, like myself haha.

Beyond this, most of what I'd talk about henceforth is irrelevant to this Guild, barring the fact that my Iṣṭa-devatā is Kali. Still, this does not make her my sole benefactor, as I have managed to gain favour with other deities and such aligned with my path when I happen across them, I would hope due to my respect when approaching them, but who are we to know the Will of "The Gods", after all?

Anyone wishing to know more, check my profile. Anyone unsatisfied with the slim pickings therein should PM me, assuming I'm even that interesting.

Oh, and I pepper my speech with tidbits of "common usage" Latin (id est, et ergo, et cetera) and Cornish here and there. Sorry about that heheh.

'til next time...
