CLAPTRAP & BULLSHIT What a title, bound to cause controversy! Stir up debate! I love it when a plan comes together. Reading Bucklands 'Complete book of of WITCHCRAFT' what a load of bollocks in the pages of this tome. To me following Paganism and Witchcraft is a blast from the past. These folk who equate the ancient and one true religion to modern times slay me. Here we go and sue me for plagarism, I aint got no money! Appendix A Wiccan Denominations. (These people are on a par with cult leaders such as WACO and Georgetown in my humble opinion.) Alexandrian Wicca...circa 1960's. American Celtic Wicca...no year but 20th century. Australian Wicca...wow...Lady Tamara Von Forslum has her converts. Church of Y Tylwyth Teg...for all its Celtic/Welch sounding name American...say no more. Church of the Crescent Moon. 1976...California. US of A. Circle Wicca...oh dear...another Yank wank...1974 Coven of the Forest, Far and Forever...Yankee...not just Wiccan but a form of ancient Juadism. Let me take a break here and add my two pennyworth. A favourite expression of mine...BULLSHIT BAFFLES BRAINS. Deboran Witchdom...Witchdom? At least that is original...1980. what happened in 1980? Oh ja, Dictator Robert Mugabe came to power...which is more memorable? Dianic Feminist Wicca...at least I can see their point...they didn't want males ogling them whilst skyclad...it is American...no year but must be fairly recent. Frost's Wicca...not skyclad during winter..Los Angeles..no frost there...skyclad with 'sexual' practices. Gardnerian Wicca... One that really pisses me off and so many seem drawn to...1950's  UK...USA 1964 Georgian Wicca...1970...the USA. Maidenhill Wicca...USA 1979 Northern way...1980...USA Nova-Wicca...no year..USA PECTIWICCA...no year but Scots founder died1989 Seax-Wicca...Buckland 1973...this sounds to be one of the straightest talking of th herd. I would like to meet Buckland and judge for myslef but it does seem that ego trips are not on the agenda. Thessalonian Tradition...yusus this is recent...1994...11 years...America...but in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Guys and Girls...the above should provide food for thought. Maybe now my cries of bullshit may not seem so far fetched. Gods I hate BULLSHIT and much of this is to me bull built on the egos of individuals supported by the easily influenced. I am not bitter and twisted. I have been a Pagan for almost 5 decades but it took the internet to educate me that there are others out there whom share my beliefs.. There is a lot to be said for being solitary, electic, hedgewitch. Follow your instincts, avoid the crap, you will travel your path alone but you will remain untainted by the charlatans whom may pray upon the vulnerable amongst you.
