[stylist] Wicca and spiritualism

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Eve,

I do understand your point, and I think we are saying the  same thing.

My only true point has been to illustrate that many people rely on
pop-culture to gain their understanding on a variety of subjects.
Because of this, as you point out, most have no clue and continue to
perpetuate *knowledge * and so-called facts that are faulty at best and
destructive to any real concept of truth.

Bridget, I will have to do some thinking here, but I still feel that
'perspective' is the wrong word here. I appreciate your correction on
pop culture, but if we want to be better informed than the people out
there who have no understanding, then we need to use more appropriate
terms so they could also learn from us. There is a lot of false
interpretations of Wicca and Witchcraft that help promote and create the
prejudices. These will not be overcome unles we use proper terminology
when discussing them. The Witch burnings have been on an increase in
recent months (or so it seems) and we could say that the persecuters are
following the realm of pop culture. That does not excuse them though. I
think this is one of the reasons I feel so strongly about getting a
clear understanding of the craft out there.. Oh, of course, I am sure
that you have not heard of any of this as it is one of the hate crimes
that does not attract media attention, but it is there and needs to be
stopped. I do not now remember what we were originally talking about,
but I hope, on this point, that you understand what I am trying to say.
Blessed Be. Eve
