...but everyone seems to be touchy or just plain stupid lately.
-One person believes all people who believes in the Egyptian Goddess Isis should be offended by the Islamic State using the letters I.S.I.S as an acronym (as opposed to being more offended by the actions of I.S.I.S). I tried explaining that they didn't come up with the acronym, but the news media did to make it easier to say, rather than "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (who, by the way also go by I.S.I.L or Islamic State of Iraq and Levant" (or something to that effect)). He INSISTS that this terror group CHOSE the name and are now soiling the name of the Goddess. First if all, I think Isis is a big girl and can decide for herself whether to be offended. If she was, i think she'd do something about it. Clearly she realizes that letters are letters and are prone to make up her name once in a while, while in NO way relating to her. I personally think its stupid to get ones panties wadded up over it. Do some background research on the topic first BEFORE becoming offended. This is a case of jumping the gun just because something carries the same name as something else.
-Someone else seems to not understand the simple question: "is it necessary to use Wiccan tools during a ritual". I...say no, for the simple fact that they're tools; they're just things. Representations of elements used in ritual with no inherent powers of their own. The human body is a representation of the elements rolled in one, therefore one can perform a Wiccan ritual with nothing at all.
Do they help one to focus on the task at hand? Absolutely. Are they totally necessary to the point one cannot perform a ritual if they are without an athame or wand? Absolutely not!
-People still seem to think the Landover Baptist website is a real thing. While there ARE some sick people in the world who believe gays should die and Wiccans are evil, the Landover Baptist site is so far gone it can't NOT be taken as a parody.
-Young people taking assistance or correction as rudeness or "trolling". If you cant tell the difference between a person correcting your misinformation, from someone trying to piss you off, then how are you EVER going to move forward??
As you can see, I'm in the most wonderful mood, my patience is hair thin.
Welcome to my blog. Enjoy a warm cup of tea and sit for a spell.
