I think it's time you read Kasa's post, shion.
Jai Kali Maa

I would like an honest answer to my question.

When it says, "an ye harm none, do what ye will"

Edit: forgot to say, agreeing to disagree is fine, I'm not trying to "convert" you, just find out where you're coming from.
It says, if it harms none, do what you want. It never says if it harms, don't do what you want. It never specifies at all what to do if it does harm, just that not harming is just fine.
It's not a guaranteed reversible statement. That's like saying if it's not red, then it must be blue. It COULD be green, not blue. Or it could be purple or orange or white or any other color.

It is, actually. The phrasing itself states that as long as you cause no harm, you can do what you want.
Yes, that's all it states. It doesn't say anything about what happens if you cause harm.

I really don't think she knows how to stop arguing...Do we need action?

if you truly believe that witches can just willy-nilly cast whatever spells they want, then you either aren't a real witch, or you had a massive brain fart and forgot the whole bit about
Jai Kali Maa



Sounds like an insult to me. Please interpret her blatant insult differently.
Jai Maa Kali

I will not just because you tell me to. She was blunt, yes, but the only "insult" I know of is the one you keep insisting is there, which I do not see
Jai Kali Maa

So, if I were to take her exact wording and instead insist that you are not a real witch because you follow the wiccan rede, you would not be insulted?
Jai Maa Kali

Even though I fail to see the relevance to that, I will say you can say what you want because it doesn't make it any more true than before.

It doesn't, but at the same time a law decided by a governing body does not come with specific punishment, either.

neutral Could you listen to Shion instead of insisting that what was said isn't at all insulting?

It was said "if you truly believe that witches can just willy-nilly cast whatever spells they want, then you either aren't a real witch, or you had a massive brain fart and forgot the whole bit about".

I believe I can cast whatever spell I like, and I am a witch, nor do I follow the Wiccan rede. It's insulting to say that because I do not follow your guidelines (not following the wiccan rede) that it invalidates me as a witch.
Your "New Wicca" might follow that, but it's not a guideline for witches universally, and to say so is.. well, mean.

I don't understand why you're all getting upset with Shion. Rizu was insulting to her.

First of all, she suggested that Shion isn't a real witch, completely undermining her practices, and the beliefs related to those practices. That alone is insulting to anyone. Apparently, Shion isn't a real witch, because she doesn't do things a certain way.

Second of all, she said 'massive brain fart'. She said that Shion 'had a massive brain fart'.
A massive brain fart.

A massive brain fart.

But that was not the insult Shion was complaining about. In fact, she seemed to have missed it altogether

We're not talking about punishment, we're talking about the lack of saying what'd happen. Causing harm doesn't automatically result in punishment. The rede doesn't even suggest that.
Besides that the wiccan rede isn't a governing body in the slightest. sweatdrop

Yes, it was the insult that she was complaining about. That's rather obvious by the fact that she literally quoted it two or three pages ago, and said "This insults me".
All she did was phrase it all in a different way, and because of it, you all missed it by a mile.

but the law is the same way. There is no saying what will happen to a person who is being charged with any given crime.

I understand that Shion is right, and that you're all completely unjustified in ganging up on her like this. That's enough for me.
