Comment on New Pagan Emblem to End Confusion by Severina

Uh Hello – Paganism is a religion not a Harry Potter book club. If you can’t handle the symbolisms of the Pentacle or the Mjolnir then maybe you need to rethink your choice. Please do not “modify” our symbols because you are afraid of offending others or not fitting in with society. Put down the fluffy Llewellyn books and read about your religion and understand the history and the symbolism. What do two shephard crooks (uh Xtian reference there) in green and red stand for? The Oak and Holly King? The Cross Quarters? I understand the circle but the Cats? This is playing up to the old wivestale of the Witches in the Middle Ages being burned at the stake and their pet cats (aka their familiars) thrown into the fire as well. NOT all pagan work with Cats or have them as their familiars. And if you say they are for the 4 quarters or Elements well where is the fifth – Spirit? As a Pagan (Welsh Trad – Not Wiccan) practicing for over 25+ years I would no even remotely think this is a Pagan symbol…maybe a crazy Xtian cat lady but not Pagan.
Bad idea and bad symobolism.

Comment on EXCLUSIVE: Burning times to be taught in schools by andreas

I moved to a small Ontario Canada town a few years ago. Here in Ontario the Separate Catholic Schools get public funding, and by law their mandatory religion classes must teach all religions in a fair and unbiased manner. However, the one religion they refuse to teach is paganism — which they tell the students is the sacrifice of animals and children. I was livid when I heard this from year 12 students and contacted the local school directly. After dialoguing with the principal and religion teacher, in a calm manner, I was somewhat shocked the following day to be told by my landlord that my lease would not be renewed. I also lost my job, and when I went to the federal employment centre in that same town, the counselor suggested I join a church. Finances were getting bad and I ended up needing to use the local food bank. The first and only time I went, I was told I needed to have a minister or priest sign off on my eligibility. Needless to say, I moved elsewhere. In small Ontario towns, the Catholic church rules.

Comment on First Pagan Space Programme Announced by athena

It’s a bloody usleless programme IMO! Everybody knows that all Pagans can go into space anyway, without ever leaving the comfort of their crushed velvet covered homes! What do we need Paganauts and YARPS for? Tell them to go climb up a tree!

I am outraged, we must stop this madness before it gets any worse. If we let these Knights continue in their ways before long they will be going further then just alcohol and be taking drugs and getting stoned.
