Elmore James gave it a shot around 1951

Did not ZZ release this song ?

A few google findings:

Lack of sexist beliefs and practices: A common principle in many Wiccan traditions is the equality between the sexes. Both men and women are viewed as having their female and male side. Each person has the task of balancing the two. Within Wicca, the female principle is considered as powerful and sometimes even more important than the male.

Wiccans commune with the Goddess and the God. Many teens reject the male domination seen in many Christian denominations -- particularly in Roman Catholicism and in some faith groups within the conservative wing of Protestantism. Here, positions of power and authority are reserved for men. Wiccans view the female and male principle in balance everywhere in the universe.

The Wiccan religion does not have a list of "thou shalt nots." It has a single, universal rule of behavior: the Wiccan Rede. This states "An it harm none, do as thou wilt." i.e. do whatever you want as long as it harms nobody including yourself. The decision whether to become sexually active before marriage is thus not banned by an absolute prohibition. A Wiccan makes her/his decision is based on an analytical process which determines the potential for harm to either party. Instead of pre-marital sex being prohibited, it is can be seen as a morally positive activity in some circumstances, as long as precautions are first taken to avoid pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease, health problems, negative effects on the relationship, and damage to each person's self-esteem.

Right, you've actually got a lot of factual data there, Isaac. Yes, pre-marital sex is not at all discouraged in Paganism. It is left up to the couple to make this decision for themselves. If you have each other's well being in mind, then you do not risk encountering evil in any form.

Pagans believe that if your intention is not to harm your partner, then you simply can't go wrong no matter what you do. This is a very tall order. Not harming a person involves respecting their body, their mind, and their life as a whole. Evil stems from suffering and pain and hurting others.

Pagans acknowledge and worship a sacred lord and lady is are seen as the mother and father of all life. It is not uncommon for some groups to give the mother a little more attention than the father, but the love is equally shared.

Kudos on getting some accurate data there, Isaac.

Being a Christian I do not agree with any of that but to each his own. The Bible does speak of Pagans and their fate.

It wasn't good enough that I called on everyone to burn JoePole for being a witch ??

>you can laugh all you want when someone calls themself a witch. They are out there. THOUSANDS of them!

There are thousands of weirdos of every type (google "furries" for evidence of such) that doesn't make it any less ridiculous. A witch is a child's Halloween costume, not anything around which an adult should base any part of their life.

If that is how you feel, then you have likely never met a group of Pagans in their spiritual environment. Therefore you are no authority on the subject whereas I am. You can think what you want with your half-baked opinions.

LN said it good Burn Witch Burn. I say one thing My son is Pagan, I am not, I told him his belief is his, as along he don't start dressing gothic or getting piercing everywhere. I have went to Pagan stores with him and have found things like herb books that were interesting. I'm not a witch I'm a B**ch can't you tell.

Good post Pie

I have also never hung out with furries or Trekkies. Doesn't mean I can't think they're ridiculous.

I also was among the many who queried him about his life as sheriff, his reputation as a voodoo witch doctor

....his pitched witchcraft battles with such interesting characters as Dr. Buzzard and Dr. Eagle, was virtually perfect well into his eighth decade.

The top drawer was filled to overflowing with letters from all parts of the United States and many foreign countries, seeking his help in removing a "curse" which the letter writers felt had been placed upon them.And what I do for them can't be done with medicine or psychiatry. A person who believes that he has been cursed, or that a 'root' has been placed on him, will sicken and die just as though he were stricken with cancer or some other malady."

In my hometown there are people who still believe. As a child I remember our Sheriff McTeer was known for helping rid one of a curse, or root. There have been books written of Ed McTeer but nothing brings about the reality of all this as seeing someone actually digging up their own yard searching for a "root" and being unable to find it, calling on Sheriff McTeer.
