Question

Help answer this question below.

Why are Wiccans being so offended?

Ever since I entered three Wiccan websites just to study what they believe, they went crazy! They won't even talk about spells, only about how depressed they are and how they act like they know everything better than anyone else, they've been offended because I spoke about Jesus and if they believed in him and about such, they said that faeries hate the Cross and hate Christians and such BS, Why are these people like this? I'm starting to hate them. Also what's with them getting angry when you be healthy and they're not, aren't Wiccans meant to be healthy but not obese?! A woman was once also so jealous that I complimented a woman that she was nice, and I was suspended apparently for saying "Merlin was born in Wales" he was born there, according to legends. Why? Also 80% of the Wiccans there are children!

i don't think you were talking to real witches.

however i must say fairies [angels] dislike anything negative. and when so many people put the idea of death and the cross together then you have a lot of negative energy there. so this might be true. that fairies hate the cross.

wiccans like christians are suppost to follow certain rules. that's not to say they aren't being broken. and no we don't look down on each other for being different. because we witches believe we will be punish. however i myself am eclectic. and even i find that the laws of energy catch up with you eventually.

merlin isn't real. that is offensive.
it's a fairy tale.
not real.
that would tick me off. people who talk about witchcraft should know as much as possible before you talk about it. we consider not knowing as a childish and faithless way to live if you don't study up on your religion. however not everyone believes this.

if you had quite a bit of knowledge on your back then i'd give you credit for saying what you wanted.

and witches don't like to preach. it's against their belief system. it's like asking them to break an oath they took. if you'd like to know more about them i could tell you about them. but it's normally best to look things up on your own so you never feel like you're going to dissappoint anyone in the end if you give up on being a witch ... or just so they don't feel they were being used. it's a self defense technique to do things on your own and not get the wrong ideas of witches. because the wrong idea would be the one against you. if you believe certain things then it's there. but if you don't then it shouldn't make you angry others don't see it that way.

see wiccans aren't allowed to judge. anything. "an ye harm none" if you judge then you're breaking the creed and you're punished for it.

i myself don't follow rules. and do what i please.
but i don't think you were talking to real witches.
probably rebellious teens looking for some fun so they tried speaking out against you.

i'm sorry you had to encounter them.
my apologies on their behalf.

blessed be.

- I'm happy that I met one good Wiccan, because I was losing hope that there were no good Wiccans. They were no teenagers, middle-aged women, oh there was one pagan who agreed with me. I do believe in Merlin, so do they, but they claimed that he was born in England, because they're English themselves, and because I said that I believe faeries are physical and don't look like us, they were offended, why? I got back at them in a general website. I'm not a Christian, I have my own belief, the people above believe I'm a Christian because I spoke of Jesus.

- actually. i'm thinking of becoming a wiccan not just a witch. i believe in magick. and in the effects of energy.
  
  but lately i have wanted to believe in a god and goddess.
  maybe they would make my life better.
  i've been studying wicca since i was seventeen.
  thank you for the compliment.
  
  jesus is actually in a form of witches beliefs.
  so it's ok to believe in jesus. and god.
  
  i think that no one really knows about merlin. i myself doubt he was what people think he was as king aurther's tutor. but if i ever do believe in merlin. i'll think he was some kind man who was forgotten as time passed by.
  
  believe it or not there is a passage in the bible that does speak ill of witches. i think it's exodus 22:18 but i can't recall. that says sorceresses should be killed. which is why so many witches dislike the bible.
  
  i'm glad you aren't a christian.
  
  and to be quite truthfull there are few real witches. much like there are few real christians. there are those who don't know anything but magick. and there are those who know a bit of everything. and those who know the creed. and many people actually forget the creed should be followed as much as the god and goddess. everything that is good is the god and goddess.
  
  blessed be.

- I do believe in magic, but as a power of nature, and a gift from God. My concept of god is entirely different from the Christian one, my god blessed our world with hopes and sources and left it all up to us for us to be together and a peaceful world.
  
  I see the goddess as Mother Mary, or Mother Mary as the goddess. I do believe in Jesus, not as a god or demigod, as a true son of the Divine power.
  
  Merlin in Celtic legends was more than a magician:
  http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/celticdeities/
  I'm Celtic myself, and I love this website.
  
  I think the passage in the Bible refers to those "typical" witches who cause evilness, instead of the good sorceresses.

I would be very curious to know just which sites you went to. Within any given group of individuals you will find various personality types, happy, unhappy, nutty, serious to a fault, etc., it matters not what the group is; Wiccan, Christian, dog fanciers, underwater basket weavers, it doesn't matter, they will all have various personality present within them. Further more "the way" in which initial contact and conversation is initiated, will often have direct results upon the responses you will receive, in any group of people.

Do many Wiccans have an initial discomfort/mistrust/dislike of Christians? Yes, however the same could be said about many Christians towards Wiccans. However if you were to do a comparison of these two groups to determine who has a greater reason or perhaps it should be stated as real justifications for harboring these feeling towards the other, Wiccans (and Pagans) would win the rights to their feelings hands down. Do your homework these feelings are not without cause.

Persecution, torture, murder, theft, the portraying of their forbearers as the followers of and or the spawn of a Christian devil with whom they had no personal knowledge or belief in, in the first place, has create a negative disposition towards Christians in the hearts and minds of many Wiccans and Pagans. Yes the Wiccan religion is a neo-religion but many of its practices are based upon the beliefs and practices of people past who were ruthlessly persecuted, slandered, murdered, driven into hiding while having to watch silently in fear for their lives as their religious practices and beliefs were stolen and perverted in order to serve Christianity. All of this because of the Christians unquenchable thirst for power and domination, convert or die. I have often wondered just how the Christ feels about this edict carried out in his name, by men. Given this perspective, now can you tell me why would they not open up to you? They may have thought you were a Christian coming into their site to heckle them.

As for Merlin you espoused only one of the three scenarios, that I know of, regarding Merlin's birth, perhaps those whom you encountered do not accept this version and prefer or accept one of the other two or even some version that I am unaware of. This is not unlike the the schisms/variations of beliefs that exists between various sects of Christianity or many other religions really.

In regards to healthy I'll put it this way; I'm a 5'11" tall woman, 170 pounds of lean muscle mass, I work out six days a week, my short work out is three hours long, I have a Black belt in Tae-Kwon Do, I teach it and self defense, I camp and hike, and in the past I was rather handy with a hunting rifle. I am a very happy person in a very happy marriage, I am accomplished in many of the arts, I live my life with gusto and I am an eclectic solitary witch who dances sky clad regularly under the moon. I believe that stereotyping of any group of people is wrong and I rarely dress in black. I am healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally... thank-you, very much;)

If you are honestly interested in learning about the Wiccan religion may I suggest that first you learn the real history of Christianity and what it has done to others who did no and offered no harm...all of it in the name of Jesus Christ and for the glory of God. Once you understand that history and not the myth, then you can begin to explore the Wiccan religion and traditions respectfully. It seemed as if you wanted some straight talk from a Wiccan, while I am not a traditional Wiccan and identify primarily as an eclectic solitary witch who has studied their beliefs and can identify with many of them, I hope that my response will serve to stand as an acceptable substitute. All I have said I have said honestly, if you find my response offensive, understand that no personal offense was intended but upon occasion the truth can be just so.

Interesting, just popped into your about me and you identify as Druid???? This seem rather odd may I say, A Druid asking a Wiccan about Jesus Odd odd odd and even odder.
Comments
- To me a druid is a natural person, just my view. I also believe in Jesus, but they went intolerant and started going angry because I asked them if they believed in Jesus.
  
  Report
  
  by King Arthur Pendragon on February 14th, 2011
- Well I believe that my post above gives you some insight as to this.
  
  You interpret a Druid as being "a natural person" by this I guess you mean a person who is in tune with nature and nothing more? However Druids were/are a religious group who did not/and do not acknowledge, as far as can be discerned, any Christian religious concepts such as Jesus or God. There may be, these days, some who might embrace some form of Druidic/Christian practice, I have never personally heard of any such Druidic groups, but they may be out there. To a measure your use of the term Druid, as just meaning "a natural person", is a bit fanciful. There are those who very seriously embrace Druidism as a religious practice/lifestyle and from their perspective your claiming to be a Druid, in spite of your interpretation, would probably be considered as offensive to them as it, however unintentional it may be, diminishes them and their beliefs into nothing more than a social group that likes to hang out with nature. Particularly in light of your own professed Christian beliefs which have no place within their thoughts and practices.
  
  Let me put it this way. Your claiming to be a Druid would be rather like me claiming to be a Christian, by interpreting Christian to mean nothing more than a social group of people who meet on Sundays, while embracing and following my own path. That of a witch, who does not embrace the Christian religious beliefs in any way. I claim to be Christian only because I enjoy being social with people on Sunday. By doing this, however unintentionally I have done it, I have completely dismissed all of their religious beliefs, practices, philosophies and diminished them into being nothing more than a Sunday social group.
  
  So why are the Wiccans upset? You meant no harm. Well lets explore this, again I will use the example of myself as a witch going into a Christian setting. I don't really embrace any of their religious concepts, but I am curious about them, so onto their web sites I go without having done any real research into them before hand. I just have some inkling as to what they are about and I'm curious. So I go amongst them in what they feel is their house and start asking them some questions;
  
  Is ritualistic cannibalism, a good message to be sending to our children as a means of to getting closer to God? Is the use of the crucifix, really just another form of idol worship? Do you believe in the symbology of the pentacle and what it stands for? Is Jesus a revamped version of older mythological figures/gods whose lives had the same events in them, birth by a virgin, performing miracles, resurrection three days after death? I feel fairly certain that if I did this I too would be treated with a bit of disdain and words of ire from the Christians and I would probably be told by a few of them that I was going to burn forever in the eternal pit of hell. Yet all I did was ask them a few questions. Yet because of either my attitude (the way I phrased my questions) or my ignorance (a lack of understanding their purview on certain subjects) I offered offense to them.
  
  So you are on a quest. Then recognize that the path you are treading has thorns and addressing touchy subjects (such as believing in Jesus) will result in getting your fingers and your feelings pricked and bloodied. There are Wiccan/Christian groups around, try searching for these instead, they at least will be more understanding of your belief in Jesus. However I strongly suggest that the best place for you to start your quest for knowledge would be by reading. Then at least you will have some prior knowledge as whether or not your entering into a brier patch of contention and perhaps you can then phase your questions in such ways that will provide the answers and insight you are after.

- A druid is a Celtic priest, a western wizard, a natural person can have any to do with magic. I do believe in magic, but also God and Jesus Christ, but I can tell you that none of the questions you asked there offended me, I never be offended by questions.
  
  Report
  
  by King Arthur Pendragon on February 14th, 2011
- Yes, however please note your use of the word priest, they were also believed to be the wise leaders and holders of all knowledge ( this may be your intent by referring to them being wizards), customs and laws for their people. With their traditions and knowledge being passed on to their disciples/apprentices thru an oral tradition, thus being a Druid was (in all likelihood) a life long commitment and dedication, not a casual or lose association. You're free to call yourself what you will from my perspective, however I will say, don't get upset if you encounter those who take exception to your claim vehemently because they consider being A Druid to mean far more than you do and accept that from their perspective you are not...just saying.
  
  And yet others can be offended if they are made to feel that what is important to them is being disregarded out of hand and at that point, intolerance may just rear its ugly head. My point in sharing these views with you is not to challenge what you happen to think or believe but rather to give to you some perspective as to why possibly, some that you encountered were hostile/intolerant towards you. My questions were also not intended to offend you personally, but rather to demonstrate, how not considering the way one phrases their inquiries could be considered as offensive by the ones they are asking questions of. For while questions may never offend you personally they may very well offend others and that is the point you need to give some thought to when pursuing knowledge.
  
  You asked "them" if they believed in Jesus or God, as I said, I am not a Trad. Wiccan by any means but an eclectic solitary witch but I'll share my views with you. Do I believe in Jesus or God as defined by the Abrahamic Faiths? No. Pretty simple eh. Will I discuss spells, casting or magick with you? Only very generally and generically. Why? Simply because from my perspective your curiosity seems to be rather superficial and for amusement rather than from being based upon a sincere desire to learn. Had you the real desire to learn you would have grasped some very basic knowledge on your own and from what has been presented thus far I get a sense that you have not.

Psychologists study the term "crazy" to compare you with that term, define the differences, and then suggest advice depending on their findings.

You can't just call someone "crazy" as there are lots of people with crazy different personalities, and crazy means just one thing but very general. There are a lot of ways you can be crazy, but crazy means one thing.

In other words, don't try to convince Wiccans they are crazy, since they simply have another definition of crazy since what we consider crazy, they consider normal. Just let them be crazy, and consider themselves crazy which in turn separates them away from the rest of society. Therefore the rest of us "crazies" can live in harmony.

Capische?

well, here is my view, and it sure is not written in stone.
I have met many who claim to be pagan or wiccan. when asked as to " which traditions or time period they prefer" they never even answer to this. I think for many it might be nothing serious or actually studied...

You don't have to hate THEM.
iF YOU WISH TO KNOW MORE ABOUT it, study it.

- I like the traditions of becoming knowledgeable about herbalism and staying close to the rhythms of nature. The belief that what we give is what we get back is something I have seen and experienced many times over the years. As for time periods, most prefer this time when Wiccans are recognized as valid and no longer burned at the stake!

If they said " they hate..." they are not truly Wiccan. Nothing about what you've experienced is indicative of what Wiccan followers believe. For example, Wiccans believe in a three-fold law of retribution, so they wouldn't be sending out any negative energys as they feel those would only come back to them 3X worse! Here is as good an explanation as any: http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/pontoon/2457/id22.htm

I'm going to aitch ee double hockeysticks from all sides for this, but here is my reaction.

* Conventional wisdom is that faeries hate the cross--I don't know about Christians but it is a safe bet that they are not out of the proverbial water. Symbols have power, though, and the Christian Cross, as /the/ emblem of the religion that has desecrated holy places without a second thought, is anathema to the spirits of nature.

* I find it interesting that Wiccans and other Pagans will talk openly about spellwork on other websites but these people are secretive. What's up with that?

* I don't know whether thumping your Bible was an actual purpose in visiting these sites, but most of the world is tired, to say the least, of being confronted with Christian teaching, and are likely to assume the worst unless they can be certain that that is /not/ the purpose of the discussion. I include myself in this category.

* Most religions hold to the principle of at least trying to maintain one's health--so you're in the right here, as long as you didn't get confrontational or self-righteous about it.

* You were actually suspended for saying Merlin was born in Wales? That's just specious and spurious, and even a little petty. Regardless of where he was born, Merlin is closely linked with Wales.

So, it sounds like a mixed bag, you partly right and they partly right with some unsettled issues. Did you actually approach them with a sincere desire to learn from them, or just to raise a ruckus?

- Dreamlight,
  
  The interesting thing about the poster is that if you go into his about me page, he talks about his elvish name, a belief in magick and also identifies as being Druid, not Christian. Personally I find this information and his post rather odd and confusing when brought together. I was curious as well, as to what sites he visited, but thus far no response to that inquiry. I have never personally experienced what he says he did on such sites and wanted to see what sites they were.
  
  I think that you may have come the closest to discerning the situation as clearly as it could be, based upon his post, and I like the fact that you put some sound though into your answer.
  
  Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the great answer.

As I said, they were stupid.

I will say this, i am wiccan, but i do not agree with how agro they got about you trying to learn more, but you kindof have to blame yourself, if you ask someone with a different religion (no matter what religion it is that is different than yours) if they believe in Jesus Christ you are asking for alot of trouble, also the whole reason wiccans/pagans are not very keen to christianity is because in the past pagans and such were slaughtered, persecuted, and forced to convert to something they didnt believe in just so christians can try to be dominant, now we dont have the killings and such, but we still do get persecuted and looked down upon by many christians to this day, me however im open minded, i can say "hey i might be wrong they might be right" it is only the christians who say they know it all and that everyone else is wrong and their way is the only possible way that drive me up the wall. But i will say how some of the people on those sites reacted were a little rediculous.

Merlin was born in the belly of a dolphin, or possibly in the Miami Dolphins locker room. Everybody knows this.

Well that's because they don't really understand or something really is offending. how would you feel if you were very religous and wish every body beleived in your Lord and somebody was saying how they think that your bible is wrong then wouldn't you get a little touchy?

- I wouldn't care.

I'm guessing you didn't go into these sites with an open mind, just to preach your beliefs and knock down theirs . . .hmmmm????
Comments
- I didn't do that, they're just too ignorant.

- No, you are the one that is ignorant. And, no I am not Wiccan and do not believe what they believe. I do, however, see you as thinking you are better than everyone.

Wasn't Merlin born an old man, then he got younger and younger until he was small enough to leap into a virgin's womb?
Comments
- I dunno about that, though according to some accounts he lived backward in time.

- Nope, Merlin was born a son of a normal woman and a supposed fairy father or incubus father, giving him powers, and he was born in a village in Wales.

- Thanks. I just remembered something about living backwards. The rest was a guess. I was hoping for a clarification of that story, but this is probably as close to truth as we can get by now.
