Hey guys! I got a recomendation for the newspaper, how about a question and answer column?

Well, one problem- No one is asking questions! Hehe.

So I figured I could rely on your guys for some help. What are some easy-answer questions that you've often wondered about? Broad questions like "What is Paganism?" should, of course, be left to threads, and not asked here. ;D

I love you guys! I'll be back soon to see what you all have come up with! ;D

I would like to know the different areas of paganism and/or wicca (like denominations or different branches). I know its a huge subject so you can just put a as much as you wish. If you cant fit it into all the posts you can give me a site that will help me.

Edit: Is this to broad of topic?

I would really like to know (hopefully today, or this weekend) if faeries like candy. Cinnamon hearts, in particular. For amusement.

Mmhm. Odd question, but I'm really curious about it.
And chewable Flintstones vitamins. =/ For good health.

Q. Are Wicca and Pagan different from one another?

A. Wicca and Pagan are very similar, but wiccan is actually a branch off of paganism. All wiccans are pagans, but not all pagans are wiccans.


I love making these.

Lol. xD

I'm not sure about the Flinstones Vitamins... I know that they like fruit, so maybe. Then again "fruit flavored" and "fruit tasting" are two different things. You would have to do your own little investigation on that one and let us know the results. xD


Magic Light - Topic 'Fae'
Fairy food consists principally of things intended for human food, of which the elves take the substance, fruit, or benefit, leaving the semblance or appearance to men themselves.

Magic Light - Topic 'Litha and its Lore'
The faeries abound at this time and it is customary to leave offerings - such as food or herbs - for them in the evening.....-snip-....Traditional Pagan foods for Litha include fresh vegetables of all kinds and fresh fruits such as lemons and oranges. Other standard fare may be pumpernickel bread as well as Summer squash and any yellow or orange colored foods. Flaming foods are also appropriate.


Although I wouldn't recommend leaving anything flaming on your porch. x.x

I sent the group a message asking if faeries eat cinnamin flavored hearts. I'm not sure when I'll get a response back, but when I do, I'll be sure to post it here! =D

I hope I've helped out in some way.. o.O

There are as many branches of paganism as there are pagans. There are some general groups. You've got Gardnerian, Dianic, Alexanderian, Druidic, Hellenismos, reconstructionist, Asatru, ADF, CAW, Blue Star, and zillions more.

There are also religions which are not necessarily pagan, but have come to be classified as "pagan" because they are non-judaic/christian. These are native american, shamanism, voodoo, taoism, hinduism, buddhism, shintoism, etc.

One of the best places to look for religious information is beliefnet, or witchvox.

Good grief! It took some complaining to get any response at all out of them! xD


Amy
No i dont think you did, um.. I have no idea what faries eat, um, one of the first things that i would thinkof would be something sweet, maybe a flower like honeysuckle, as for the cinnamon hearts, i think as long as their not the hot ones then i dont see why not.. i mean it sweet & red, catches the eye..
im not much help am I? well whatever


She wasn't much help... sweatdrop But then I got one other person:


Happy Crone
M.M.,
Most sweets are enjoyed. It is good to offer them food that shows a knowledge and respect for fairies. In general, most like milk, bread, honey, fresh water, fresh fruit juice, and floral drinks and edibles (ie. jasmine or chamomile tea, different cakes like carnation cupcakes, ginger cookies, rose petal candy), ....

Brownies love cream and cake,
Pixies like milk and bread& butter,
Folletti and Duendes like olives and or a bit of olive oil,
Domovoi like bread and milk,

Faery folk also delight in the food offering being presented with decorative items like flowers and crystals...


So basically, I'm not so sure that they would enjoy something spicy like a cinnamin heart. I am interested to find out what you discovered with the Flintstones vitamins, though. :3
