Yes you! Gardnerian rejects, this one is for you! So let's face it, you really aren't a Wiccan if you're not initiated into the Gardnerian sex ring....errrr cult. As stated in my "What is Wicca" page, Wicca is a very specific religion with very specific rules and beliefs. Either accept that or stop calling yourself Wiccan. Wicca is NOT "whatever you make it." Gerald Gardner would roll over in his grave (if his perpetual boner ever gave in) if he knew what people have done to his religion. Yes, SHAME on you! We can think Raymond Buckland (pbuh) and the Farrer's (and let's not forget "Lady Sheba") for bringing it into the light. The Farrer's, of course, were Alexandrians (the first wanna-be's, but close enough to still be rightfully called Wiccan), and their "witches bible" is still pretty far from the crap that's presented as Wicca these days. As for Raymond Buckland, he went off and warlocked woOoOoOo scary word there, eh Wicclets? Anyways, went off and warlocked and helped expose Wicca through his crappy-ass "Seax Wica" which he pulled from his ass, obviously. The funniest thing about Seax Wica is the Pictish "alphabet" Bucky presents in Buckland's Big Blue Book of Shit. Come on now, a little research would -SHOW- you that the Picts didn't have a written alphabet, and existed for a VERY short amount of time (too short to draw a tradition from especially). From then on, authors have jumped on Wicca like vultures to a carcuss and picked it clean of its tradition and core beliefs and practices. Don't like working nude? DON'T! The magicjkhkhkhkhkhkgkdkxcK (I think I missed a K somewhere) goddess doesn't care! Don't like taking orders? That's OK! We can change shit around, and add this, and take this out, and still call it Wicca, even though it is nothing like the real tradition!
So what am I getting at? Your roots can't be from China, but be a full-blooded American. You can't be a Christian and pray to Krishna, and you CAN'T be a Wiccan and follow some shit you pieced together yourself! The only reason you think you're Wiccan is to try and validate your meaningless lives. You think you need to have a title to BE someone, but guess what, you DON'T! I'm not saying that people who KNOW what REAL Wicca is, and still practice a similar religion are stupid, no, far from it, they're the only "Wiccan" friends I have. They obviously are drawn to the formality and beliefs of Wicca, and can, in my opinion, rightfully, but unofficially call themselves "Wiccan," because that's the religion they're closest too! All those books you see at Barnes & Noble, and BooksAMillion are crap! They're a waste of good trees, and I feel SO SORRY for the tree that was WASTED to print SHIT sold for $14.95! Don't read those books, spend your money on good books. They may be more difficult to find, but one day you'll thank yourself for waiting an extra week for a GOOD book, instead of buying a piece of garbage. I honestly do NOT see how ANYONE can take a book written by someone calling themself "Silver RavingCunt", or better yet, someone who uses her name as a registered trade mark and prances around a certain northern American city in a black robe looking for attention all day seriously! Are you MAD?! Your mother should be slapped for letting you buy that crap! Go join the Catholic church and be a part of something that has some real spiritual maturity.
