Wal-Mart Promotes Witchcraft ( tell the Wal-Martians before X-mas)

snip:
It’s not as much fun for Mom to take her brood to the department store anymore. Along with the Barbie dolls and Tonka Toys, 100 items for Wicca can be found at Wal-Mart.

The Everything Wicca and Witchcraft Book: Unlock the Secrets of Ancient Rituals, Spells, Blessings and Sacred Objects has been slashed from $14.95 to $9.84.

"Always low prices Always is the Wal-Mart mantra.

The Witch Book: The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft, Wicca and Neo-Paganism can be had for $49.50.

There’s Wicca for Beginners and The Witch Next Door: Separating Fact from Fiction about Witchcraft, Wicca, Goddess Worship and Neo-Paganism.

end snip

Every year we hear how Halloween is a Pagan Holiday (which it is) and it promotes the birth of baby Satan (which it doesn't).

We also hear that Target is full of the minions of the Anti-Christ because they don't allow those freaking annoying bell ringers (tho' I've got nothing against folks collecting money for the downtrodden) around Christmas. But we all know that Target is full of the minions of the Anti-Christ because they won't make their pharmacists do their fucking jobs!!!

So put a bug in a Wal-Martian's butt today. Pass along some fun facts about their book selections. (even tho' we all know, most Wal-Martians can't read anyway)

edited for clarity.

1. Do you have a problem with Wiccans?

3. Quite the opposite. I'm a born-again pagan myself...tho not wiccan.
I'm just interesting in sticking it to the fundies who think Wal-Mart is their other "church".

5. Ok- I didn't really get that from your post
I thought you were suggesting telling Wal-Mart to stop carrying those books.

2. The real question: Why would any self-respecting Wiccan go to Wal-Mart?
Wiccans are supposed to value nature and community, Wal-Mart is the antithesis to both?

Besides, who cares what Wal-Mart sells? I refuse to step into one of those disgusting stores.

4. I wouldn't go to WalMart just as a human being
Oy. I can't wait to see the fundies boycotting WalMart.
