Although the burning, torture and killing of Witches is no more in practice and we are able to move more freely there will always be a struggle for us.    Even Christians still have their problems from cults and other religeons.  No religeon is free from persecution from others.   We have to grant them their own opinions.  But yet we can't let all tred on us and smother us back into secrecy.  All we can do is try to bring out the true meaning of Wicca and all the other Pagan Religeons sothat at least we will be able to minimize the hatred that some people feels toward us.   And even if we achieve that, there will always be one or more people and groups of people who will always see us as "Evil" and all that is associated with witches (although most of it is made up by movies and people who hates us).   We have to convince people of who we really are without encrouching on their religeos beliefs.   Keep up the good work!   Blessed Be   Raven

TYPICAL MISCONCEPTION

I thought your site was really cool when I was reading the Pagan Files,
Newsroom, and I thought your Introduction was really meaningful.  But then I
got to Food For Thought and your Features page.   I thought your site was for
religious freedom, yet you put the Christian Church in such a bad light.   You
act like they are the only ones that make mistakes with their religion.  As
far as I know, you haven't put 1 single article in there that supports
Christianity, but there are many references to Christianity being
"monopolizing" and intolerant.  Yes, it happens sometimes, but that does not
make all Christians like that.  You seem to support almost all religions
except for Christianity.  I don't really have a problem with that, but I do
think you're being hypocritical by saying your site supports religious freedom
and then giving such a huge impression that Christianity is wrong.

CATHOLIC MONSIGNOR'S HATE TOWARDS US

"Hello,
     I am a Monsignor in the Catholic Church and I am doing a presentation on early witch-hunts and I fell across your page.  Needless to say I was appaled and shocked.  How can you so willingly give yourself to the Devil?  Grab a bible, that is if it doesn't burn you, and read the chapter Revalations very closely and beleive it.  In the end all sinners will be punished first, with 40 years of suffering with 'locusts the size of chariots' and the like and then with the tribulation in which you are judged before god, and then unless you repent you will cease to exist.  And if you die before the end you have pits of fire and unspeakable torments to face.  Now you may say I am merely a religious fanatic just trying to scare you, but if you beleive in Satan must you not also beleive in God?  Of course there is still a chance for you to save your immortal souls.  And before you scoff at that think carefully about the immortal part because as bad as you may rebel against soceity on earth I assure you there will be nothing so kind in Hell.  May god bless you and your like.  In nomine patris, et fili, et spiritus sancti."

 Monsignor Preston Manning. Æ
