You have got to be fucking kidding me? I am going to be sick.

That's some messed up shiat right there. Seriously messed up. I mean, I'm all for natural remedies and such, but maybe this takes it too far.

It's one thing to use stem cells to do research that leads to life-saving techniques, it's another to eat aborted babies.

And people call me a racist when I mention the Orient's long tradition of cannibalism.

Sorry to intrude on your fantasies, wannabe witches, but the primitive world wasn't a shiny happy place where people communed with Gaia in peace and harmony every night. Mayans and Celts did perform human sacrifices, Vikings and Mongols did practice cannibalism, and the only magic that has ever existed are the same mind tricks and sleight-of-hand stage magicians use in their acts; the only difference is the number of people fooled by them.

You won't find these truths in "Wicca for Dummies."

Well, not to stray too far off topic, but the reason you won't find those truths in "Wicca for Dummies" is because Wicca doesn't really have those traditions. Gardner pulled most of it out of his ass and imagination (some could say one and the same) in the mid 50's. Any links to Celtic, Norse, etc religious history is not actual but more of linking in an attempt to give credibility (mystery) to what he was trying to pass off.

It makes me wonder if he and L.Ron made a bet to see who could con the most people.

I'm thinking that most early religions and cultures had some form of human sacrifice in them. But I'm not sure what that has to do with the article at hand and any connection to Wicca.

Only that I know far too many Wiccans who excuse all sorts of third-world barbarity in the name of multicultualism and alternative religious beliefs.

I'd show them this article, but they'd just dismiss it as "right-wing lies," like they do anything else that conflicts with their beliefs.
