I came to paganism and wicca through life experiences, needing to find faith again, but faith that made sense to me. Doing research, reading books, and things like that. It was a long path, with several long stories. Family members who were/are wiccans or pagans, friends who studied it in school, loss of loved ones and faith questions surrounding that, and then the whole lost feeling looking for something that makes sense on a spiritual level. Loss of faith and spirituality is not something I deal with well. Not at all. I am so not an insomniac. I slept almost 7 hours and am still so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open. I still want to hear about all that went on at Witchfest. Workshops, rituals, etc. |

Wish I lived in the U.K. Seems a powerful place for the craft. Then again, I live on the single biggest fresh water lake in the world, so that's magick too. Stay away from people who give you the willies while practicing. Listen to your instincts VV, you're a good hearted person and should be wise. Still, I would like to go to something like that someday. Was anyone skyclad? (That's naked for you regular people.) What sort of frameowrk do you use VV? Celtic? Irish? Gardenian? Just curious. Lady bless- |
|
I was curious if they had an workshops of classes out there. Any different groups doing different ritual, or group ritual for everyone there or anything like that. And, Skooter, if you want one of those interesting gatherings where Pagans of all type get together and being skyclad is openly accepted (though never demanded) you should come out here to Texas (though you would need a membership and tickets) for Beltane or Samhain. I love the stories, but have yet to get out there myself. |

plus i could use the time off. it's right here. "....The etymology of OK was masterfully explained by the distinguished Columbia University professor Allen Walker Read in a series of articles in the journal American Speech in 1963 and 1964. The letters, not to keep you guessing, stand for "oll korrect." They're the result of a fad for comical abbreviations that flourished in the late 1830s and 1840s. Read buttressed his arguments with hundreds of citations from newspapers and other documents of the period. As far as I know his work has never been successfully challenged....." "....The abbreviation fad began in Boston in the summer of 1838 and spread to New York and New Orleans in 1839. The Boston newspapers began referring satirically to the local swells as OFM, "our first men," and used expressions like NG, "no go," GT, "gone to Texas," and SP, "small potatoes." Many of the abbreviated expressions were exaggerated misspellings, a stock in trade of the humorists of the day. One predecessor of OK was OW, "oll wright," and there was also KY, "know yuse," KG, "know go," and NS, "nuff said." Most of these acronyms enjoyed only a brief popularity. But OK was an exception, no doubt because it came in so handy. It first found its way into print in Boston in March of 1839 and soon became widespread among the hipper element. It didn't really enter the language at large, however, until 1840. That's when Democratic supporters of Martin Van Buren adopted it as the name of their political club, giving OK a double meaning. ("Old Kinderhook" was a native of Kinderhook, New York.)...." and so on. |

you're obviously not a DU fan. nor do you act much like what you claim to be, white witch. at least i know i'm an asshole. |
|
you're a limp dick orgasm, the paces are walked but oh so unsatisfying. your reality is so small (how small is it?) your reality is so small that I thought I heard this flea laughing at it and I was like “dude, flea, stop laughing at his reality.” and the flea was like “shit man, that ain’t me laughing, that’s my fucking COCK.” (buh dum … ching!) you cry at night, you wish you had someone to touch. all your money, all your pagan poseur-ness, your lies and posturing. it’s nothing, because ultimately you’re impotent and petty and alone. and meanwhile, I am myself. an asshole and an idiot, but hey, at least I’m not swimming in the kiddie pool. |

the title of this thread does, in fact, make me think of that digital underground track. i wrote that without judgement, though i will freely admit that i hoped it would provoke you. which it did, thank you for being predictable, i am an idiot. (actually, more, i hoped the comment would make LS surface.) your response was rather rude, requesting that my soul spend eternity in unspeakable pain. there isn't much worse than that, i'd wager. pretty dark words, white witch. yes, it would seem strange if you'd have me believe that you have nothing against me. you want my respect? earn it. and stop being so creepy with the sorabjiite ladies. i won't apologize for my raised hackles and big brother attitude when some dirty old man fronts a little too familiar with my sorabjisisters. my comments only bother you because your ego is overinflated. think about it. |

Nate is my friend. |
Hey, Disinfo.com is getting ready to release a pretty interesting book |
V.V. We have never had any problems here, but what you have been saying about Nate is royally pissing me off. He is not and has not ever bashed wiccans in any way. He is very intelligent and resourceful. He holds my respect more than most. And you do have me confused....I asked for information on rituals and workshops there, but you have not responded to that. You have mentioned that you have been asked to lead a tantric cult...not coven but cult....this wigs. On top of that I have yet to see any coven who asks you to lead their coven....all I have ever seen is when they ask you to join their coven and then once you are initiated, if you possess the right knowledge, then you are asked to lead rituals and meetings. But either way, if you don't have a strong knowledge of that Tantric aspects and applications to wicca, be a student, not a teacher. So yes, at this point you worry me. Maybe it was your reaction to Nate that has set me off. I don't really know. But I can say that I personally take offense to your comments about Nate burning in hell. You claim to be a white witch, but you are wishing harm to someone whom I happen to care about. It doesn't exactly follow the "harm none" principle. I myself don't claim to be white because I acknowledge the good and bad aspects of my own personality and simply work to be the best person I can be. Not necessarily white, just human on a path to be the best I can be. I am just rambling now. I will have to finish my rant later. |
I have always thought you were eccentric, and so most of the time I overlook your overt flirtations with eri. She is a big girl and if she gets offended by those comments, she will take care of herself. The same goes for Kazu. I elected to allow kazu or sem to respond to your remark to her calling her yummy, but the overt sexual connations are hard to miss. Leave the married/attached ladies alone. Especially mine or sem's. Sem, kazu and nate are some of my fav's (besides my own beloved, of course). Leave them alone. |
i only know how you're behaving. you may have far more understanding of this world than i ever will, though statements like that are often indication of the opposite. i don't claim to understand the Universe, i trust it to understand me. i am not catholic. i have explored wicca though i am not wiccan. (and neither are you, V.v. harm none, buddy.) full disclosure: i keep thinking 'boy there hasn't been a sorabjiite blackballing in a long time.' i'd never suggest that myself, V.v. i'm happy as a clam poking at you. same reason why i like hearing stupid polack jokes so much. so i'd never suggest a blackballing. but i would instigate you until someone else made the suggestion. |
Most flirting is fine, I think the the medium allows it to be done safely, even with attached people, provided it's tasteful and if not tasteful, then it has to be funny (which would make it tasteful in my book.) |
I use a celtic framework as I'm scots-irish and that's what i'm comfortable with. I have dome some wonderful things with magick, but am aware of it's dark side as well. As a Pagan, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN HELL. As in, a place where the devil lives and there's fire and ice and pitchforks and Richard Nixon and the Bee-Gees and Satan. The only hell we have is the one within ourselves that we create out of hate, fear and anger. Be careful when you wish that on somebody please? VV is getting weirder but the hour. A tantric sex cult...eeesh. Count me out. Thats a bit too Crowley for me. Creepy. Goddess protect and save us. |
But I am pretty much in agreement with you...as a pagan I do not believe in hell. I tend to lean toward the irish/scottish celtic side of things too, but am still learning. And I am fully enjoying where I am at learning. I am still pretty much solitary, not involved in any covens or anything like that (unless you count my friends in the clans, but it's not a coven, just a group of eccentric friends from mormons to pagans). This whole thing really just give me a bad feeling. This whole thread has exploded and I don't like the negative energy it gives off. I agree again with Skooter....Goddess protect us. |
(1) Who are you? (If you say that Wiccian millionaire Latvian Londoner whatever one more time I'll scream) (2) What did any of these people do to you? (3) Do you care about anything other than (a) money, (b) sex or (c) power? (4) Are you insecure? (5) Do you know how to spell or punctuate? (6) Do you have an actual steady belief system that is not based on items listed in (3)? (7) Is Witchfest a Pagan, New Age or Renaissance fair? (8) What does wearing black and a pentacle have to do with witchcraft? Some answers. (1) Witches are not neccessarily the best people in the world. They're just people, with the same lives and problems, just a different belief system. If witches were truly the best people in the world, wouldn't there be more taking up the wand? (2) 'Warlock' isn't actually a term used by Wiccans, I've never known a pagan who used that term for themselves. (3) Wiccans don't belive in Hell or Satan. Those are both Christian constructs. Are you a Satanist? (4) The perfume is called Patchouli. Hippies like it for some reason. (5) Respect is earned before it is given. (6) In all the witchcraft books I've read, I've never heard anything about a good side or an evil side. It's all based on perspective and if you use the word evil more than once a week you end up sounding like an idotic American son of a Bush. Especially with statements like ".......i love a war......" (7) I know bible bashers and Catholics and while those I am familiar with mostly disapprove with paganism, they are not witch burners. (8) Leave all the ladies alone, not just the attached ones. Just because a girl is alive doesn't mean she intends to encourage your passions. |
In the park, from noon 'til after dark. There will be blondes, and also girls of bronze, And girls who come from other contries 'round the world Now, you will see a big display of ladies in a cage, Butt naked, and they're showing off their curves and sexy ways. So pack a bag, and come on down, if you can find the time. We just would like to say welcome to Gutfest '89. ----- Yea, V.v. sounds pretty fake. I could claim to be a Jedi Knight and not come off as that fake. But anyhow. I just call it as I see it. Then again, this might not even be V.v. It could be an evil witch that put herself into V.v's body at the gathering, and then came back here to shit out of V.v's mouth. I'm going to go practice my lightsaber routine. LS |
. But I thought it was kinda cute. It's not like he'd be the first to innacurately represent himself on the Internet. . I kinda like his out-there interpretations of people and what they say. And the way he'd lay down in traffic for any pagan who'd be his friend. |
this is nonsense. Yeah right, I can picture people in this day and age saying 'all correct' casually. Almost every word you speak is bullshit. Wanna walk into a ghetto and tell them they can't spell? The difference, Vivian my dear, is that "Oll Korrect" is a humorist having fun with the language. Chronic use of "your", which you continue to use, is just sloppy. And then stuff other people said. I want Vv to visit http://www.feetman.com |
goddamnit. My semi-joke is ruined. |

<typo above!> |
Besides. You may not have a problem with any other Sorabjite, but that doesn't mean they don't have a problem with you. You seem to have a one-track mind about one-upping people, attempting to know more about them than the self does. It is creepy. How long have you been hanging around Sorabjiland anyhow? I know when I was new I said some pretty mean and shallow things. |

P A G A N- You better come out and represent. I'm starting to catch serious doubts duder. Plus, has any one ever told you it's rude to post in all capitals. True Pagans put no stock in money and wordly goods. The things you're saying sound like the teachings of one Mr. Anton Lavey. I'm starting not to trust V.V. It's those kind that give the rest of us a bad name. Does that sound like "In perfect love and perfect peace" to you? Catholics practice magick trapped inside 1000 years of symbolism. Mary-Goddess Aspect Jesus- Green Man (Death and Rebirth) Prayers-Spells I could go on and on. As Doctor Suess said "No time to hate." It's not like me and Nate get along swell, we've had some flame ups on here. But I'm just looking out for the good of us all. |
could be, indeed. |
Ronda would be real swell right about now. I INVOKE THEE WITH MY UNBEFOREKNOWNST WITCHY POWERS! I AM HOLDING A PENTAGRAM, THEREFORE I MUST BE RICH AND WISE! AND PERHAPS FROM ESTONIA! WHO CARES? YOUR STUPID ANYWAY! YOUR YOUR YOUR! YOUR DAMNED! OOPS! DON'T GET THE GREASE ON YOUR PANTYHOSE. I LOVE YA ROVER, MOVE OVER I GOTTA BLOW MY NOSE. yknow. i totally forgot that 2pac was down with the Underground. |
I almost left Sorabji again a month ago. |

No. I'm afraid that title goes to Cat. :) |
Carry on! |
|
|
|
|
I doubt you do. |
|
|
|
hi jack. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I stopped talking to VV or reading his posts when he said he killed a dog. That was enough for me. |
|
The Power if Christ Compells you! Get thee behind me, satan! |
Man, I'm starting to feel sick. How could you, you sick fuck? Don't claim that you are holy or powerful, but rather claim that you are drunk on pain and hate and lies, just like a true Satanist. Fuck you, you ass. Sorry but I don't want to be friendly with you anymore V.V. You aren't what you claim to be. In fact, quite the opposite. |
If you like money and power...you aren't a white witch. If you think that the Goddess protects you after you killed a dog...you'd be wrong. And if you think that the threefold law isn't going to boomarang on you...you'd be wrong as well. These are some seriously fucked up allegations. V.V. you should stand up and answer each one of these charges on here if you want anybody to regard you with respect in the future. |
|
Skooter, it almost sounds as if you are calling VV to your court.....COOL. |
Hey, can we move the cage from Texas to the Ukrain? |
*********************************** By Nate: "the goat, maybe" V.v. exits, pursued by a CHUPACABRA *********************************** |
DOG KILLING IS WRONG! goat killing, not so much |
You son of a motherless goat! |
. Or not. Search is toast. . It's up to them folks what keep personal mirrors. |
im surprised anyone has ever read V.v's posts more than 4 lines long, all the way through. multiple paragraphs? "the wheel in my mouse keeps on turnin...." especially when it comes to the subject of 'witches' and Wicca. zzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz american junk tv. boyyyy did i soak some of that yesterday. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy Marathon. d00d. make it stop. |
|
Skooter! I have something for you. I'll email you presently. Hey, Vv. I have only one question for you. Do you hate Spider? Please reply. |
|
|
|
at least...he'd better be just recalling what v.v. said. |
. I don't store real memories, only made-up ones. |
Huh. |
And of course, I was only clarifying the whole dog killing thing. I would never support such a thing. Now, if a REPUBLICAN was harrassing my cat, that's a whole 'nother thing... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nor do I hate the ones practicing it. I can disagree with it. I can dislike some aspects of certain religions, but I hate no religions at all. |
. Why hate? |
|
Chase it off. throw rocks at it. run screaming, flailing your arms like a mad man, a pellet gun if you have, or bb gun if everything else fails. I would only kill a dog that was attempting to kill my cat if it looks like it was rabid or crazed or, it turned it's murderous intentions from my cat to me. I love my Sidney to death, ask eri. We have had 2 dogs that loved to attack sidney. she hid under our bed most of the time these dogs were in our house (seperate times, one in KC and we tried again here in SAT). I was able to refrain from murderization. |
Really? |
|
way wrong move. |
|
|
(badger mode: ON) |
but his hate of catholics seems to be more historical than personal, and in some respects i can understand that. not hate, exactly, maybe disgust. |
Especially early Czar periods. |
|
|
Saying you hate just about anyone 'round here doesn't help. |
You know? |
maybe. And yet, some part of me wonders if i could just leave it up to nature. I hope i'll never find out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
We're on the lo-carb. |
|
|
|
but, for some reason, i'm tolerated. and you're on the verge of not. |
|
of course its 'over the top', as are you. hell, you call nate a bigot? thats the most absurd thing i've read in this whole thread. and not that Im unsympathetic of the kind, smelly, British people having to harbor GW Dipshit for a few days at a huge expense. However, how much do think it costs the US taxpayer to send 100s and 100s of Secret Service agents along with 100s and 100s of staff members, two 747s, a Blackhawk, countless armoured vehicles across the friggin pond? you know, its not like I have much to do with that. |
There is a reason why we take it personally when you say you hate Nate.....we have known him much longer, and much better...he's just like family, so when you say you hate Nate, you in turn hurt me, or at least hurt my feelings, because I have been fortunate enough to know what an amazing man he is. Your hate for catholicism does seem to be rooted in historical aspects, so I would like to pose a question to you......do you also hate white people because they bought black people as slaves? It is historically true and horrible, but in this day and age it doesn't apply to current thinkings. I have never and would never own a slave, and I don't hate Catholics at all, whether I agree or disagree with their views. I personally choose whether or not I respect any person of any religion based on who they are, and not which group or whatever that they might belong to. I know pagans that I have no respect for and think are total idiots, and I know Christians that are beautiful and amazing people. It all depends on the person, the individual. I also still worry about the dog killing. I seriously don't think I could have handled the situation in the same way and the whole situation makes me sad. Don't get me wrong, I love my cats almost as much as my kids. But I can't kill dogs. That's just me. |

party boy. |

I'm staying out of this one |
|
HACKMAN! |
of course, they're still waiting. as the "petty bullshit" is obviously v.v.'s main interest ("...i love a war..."). oatmealdom indeed. darrinism. |
"My problem with sorabjis,is a lot of you were brought up as Catholics (same as me)I and my Father found the Church leaders to be evil..." that really doesn't answer anything. So it's every single catholic person's fault that their ancient leaders did cruel things? Or that the modern leaders your father encountered were evil? Should we hate all Germans because of what their leaders did a few decades ago? |
|
wrong again. in other news, a couple of you got my "winter's tale" reference, right? say amen, somebody. |
V.v., your reason and tempt to stop posting is completely unlike mine. I wish you would stop comparing yourself to me. My reason to stop posting at this point (as far as this thread goes) would be your creepiness. That's what it was the last time I almost stopped. Fun fun. Come to think of it, there are other reasons that haven't come to mind before. If I died. If Hal changed into a Vv. Short list. That would mean stop posting entirely, not just leaving for awhile and being mistaken for Cyst when I come back. |
i still wonder about you jack. either you're cyst, droop, dave or nate, undercover. you post too little but imply an extended stay around here. |
i don't think it's any of the people on your list but who cares anyway??? whee! fun saturday i am excited caint hardly wait truly i need to travel sarah? |
it doesnt matter, but curiosity becomes me. |
V.v. is a boring excuse for a bigot. |
"of course, they're still waiting. as the "petty bullshit" is obviously v.v.'s main interest ("...i love a war..."). oatmealdom indeed. darrinism." unless oatmeal=darrin DON'T ASK ME! I AIN'T NO DETECTIVE i'm just a girl gotta go buy a turkey and have an annoying day with her sister who has turned out to be very bossy you look good in curiousity? hmmm... |
V.V. I am not a sheep, but a freethinking person who can figure things out myself. With my religious views I think it would be hard to believe indeed that I would support slavery in any fashion at any time. If you think that I make my decisions based on societal views and just follow the crowd, then please, do not pretend to know me. Also, if you continue the stupidity of threatening Nate as you have, irregardless of how you feel for him, you will find that you will lose the friendship of the few people you do care about here, me included. |
there must be a lot of people who haven't ever seen a blackballing. arr, sets the salts from the greens. |
I don't mean to invalidate the discomfort people feel or whatever emotions he provokes, but there is something entirely too cartoonish about him for me to take him seriously. I can't take place in a sorabji-blackballing if there is nothing substantial motivating me, but I will gladly cheer on and lend snide comments to my sorabjo brethren who wish to take down someone deemed worthy of such an honor. |
heather, you know i'm ready to travel wherever, whenever. just let me know. i was going to costa rica for xmas holiday but decided to go to hawaii again instead. didn't want to travel alone or be alone over the holidays. so there. i remember darrin. calling him a fucknut would be a compliment. |
|
|
|
|
|
for a bit. I also sometimes have a hard time believing someone could type or say the things that Vv does, but my IRC days taught me that people who don't speak primarily english can often come off that way. Like a cartoon, over the top. and i'm sure his 1-2 bottles of vodka a night help too. |
|
The bastards. |
He's got more lives than a cat. |

I also find the gay bashing a little off. I mean, how many pagans are strictly "straight". I don't know many. If you go to a pagan festival you are likely to be hit on by someone of the same race. I am known as the "token straight girl" with my particular group of friends. And there are a couple of straight guys, but one is single and one is in an open relationship. So gay bashing or even gay insulting is not something you typically see in pagans or wiccans. Your lifestyle is yours, but you take responsibility for it. Harm none. Also if you believe that the ways are many but the light is one, then why would you be so against catholics in this day and age? I understand your issues with what happened in the past but it is the past and not the present. Predjudice in religion seems silly from someone whos faith is so widely unnaccepted. If you want acceptance, doesn't it go both ways? Or am I just an oddity, that I don't believe in judging people based on their faith (or lack thereof), so long as they aren't hurting anyone? I also didn't believe that Sem was being childish. He was just pointing out that you claim to have some seriously unhealthy habits, yet proclaim others will be dead within a year. Your actions and your words contradict each other. In the end it does make you appear childish, or at least immature enough that you don't own your own shit and are quick to judge others. I am very dissapointed at this point in the game. |

. Why do you keep telling us about how much money you have? Your wealth means nothing here. . Are you that insecure? |
|
. But happy Thanksgiving. |
|

How can you be obssesed with money, wealth and power and claim that you a White Witch? You never properly came clean on the dog killing thing, you wish death and hell on people, etc. I'm far from perfect. I'm poor and happy though. I don't try to wish harm on anyone, unless I need to protect myself. I still maintain (and have yet to be proven wrong) that you follow the left hand path, the path of Set, or the church of Satan. Until you prove me wrong,that's what I'll continue to think. VV are you a homophobe? Why do you place such large emphasis on worldy goods? What about "Perfect love and perfect trust?" Do you get off on strangling that dog you sick fuck? |
I see the kind of shit that you take here, and it is NOTHING in comparison to what I took when I first got here. I never wished harm on anyone here, and even the ones that I have disagreed with in the past, are all concidered friends. We all have things we can get along about and things we don't and in the end, our differences are just ways in which we respect each other. Regardless of the insults we throw around. I have never and would never wish harm to anyone here. No matter how badly we disagreed about anything. "TBone,down to earth and money orientated are the same thing,i dont see this any other way.,do you?" Well yes, actually. I choose to be down to earth and generally happy simply by being who I am and knowing that I am on a path to be the best person I can be. We are not poor, but not rich. Monetary gain is not important to me so long as we have a decent place to live, utilities, food on the table and clothes on our back. Money is insignificant so long as our basic needs are met. Being down to earth is simply a way of showing how you interact with others. Whether or not you are reasonably intelligent and easy to get along with. That has everything to do with who you are and how you choose to act and nothing to do with how much money is in the bank. When you are too concerned with how much money you have you appear pretentious and/or snobbish and not at all down to earth. |

especially when it is in his ass-plate. |
He had to indentify his dead cat at the police station? Did they have it in a morgue? Was Agent Scully performing an autopsy? I have lots of pets. 4 cats, two dogs. We don't let them outside. He couldn't have hit that offending dog with a stick, a bat or mace? He had to strangle it with his bare hands. If the dog was as vicious as all that, I'm surprised it didn't bite the holy hell out of him. in the words of Lyam Lynch...."Whatever." |
"Am i a homophobe"no i am not,in fact i protect them whenever i can,but i do like to find a gap in the armour of an adversary" If you truly don't find anything wrong with homosexuality then why would it be concidered a gap in the armor of an adversary? That implies that it is a flaw or something wrong with the other person, which indicates that you are in fact a homophobe. Now I am dissapointed and bored. |
it's even more stupid than pretending to be able to see into an internet stranger's "inner cortex" and future. the pathos never ends. |

sounds kind of gay, dude. |
