Also, this is a DU member group, so now is the time to get that STAR!!! :)

2. My star is coming, count me in.

Awesome group. Did you know that wicca/earth religions are the fastest growing religion in U.S.? Actually, Islam is growing too, but I read a book recently full of statistics about which groups were growing at fastest rates and earth religions were #1. They grouped all pagan, earth, wiccan groups under that heading.

Cool!

5. just had a funny thought

are there radical hardcore extremist fundamentalist wiccans? I guess it's "oxymoranic", no? Extra strength potions only. :evilgrin:

6. that is funny

I am sure there are some extremist in the pagan world, I don't see how we could escape that scourge. I just hope they don't ruin it for the rest of us! :)

Funny thought though! :)

Brightest Blessings!

8. Hello pagans, agnostics, atheists, deists, animists and all

Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 05:43 PM by donkeyotay

I want to share a book I just read. It's new, and it's called "God against the gods: the history of the war between monotheism and polytheism" by Jonathan Kirsch. It's well worth reading because a) it's extremely well-written and entertaining and b) it makes a good argument for what paganism really is and what paganism's contribution to society was and could be. It's a good counter balance to the current rage for dominance by Christianity.
