Lebanon - A woman is recovering in a Boone County hospital after injuring herself with a three-foot sword over the weekend.
Katherine Gunther put a hole in her left foot in a cemetery early Saturday with a sword she was wielding as part of a Wiccan ceremony...

"Oh Great Mother****ER THAT HURTS!"
Why? Stupid isn't against the law.
(We'd never have enough jail space.)
Better yet what did they think they would accomplish by praying( or sacrificing) to a pagan god(s) in a Christian cemetery.
Surely their “earth god” wouldn't appreciate their services being performed on hallowed ground dedicated to the God that destroyed their (tin)horned god.
Ya think these "druids" would do a little research beyond their D&D Players handbook before they offer thanks to their "gods" Real pagans were into real blood sacrifice and not the accidental kind.
Whadda bunch of poseurs
Bake bread, bake; butter the scone!
Slice cake, slice; eat every crumb!
Freeze cream, freeze; scoop into cone!
Phi, fie, foe, FUMMMMMMMMM-BLE!
Do they speak Lebanese in Lebanon Indiana?
Hold my potion, and watch this!
We ought to outlaw stupid. Then maybe we could get a fence built around our borders. lol
They have revived the the Scandanavian.
Excerpt:
Prison-outreach program
WotansVolk and the Temple of Wotan were known for having prisoner outreach ministries. In 2001 there were prison kindreds linked with Wotansvolk in all federal states of the USA and the groups supported more than 5000 prisoners. Research by Mattias Gardell indicated "a pagan revival among the white prison population, including the conversion of whole prison gangs to the ancestral religion.".
Then there is Greek "revivalism"; for a starting place, see: Hellenismos / Greek Revival
From the latter link, you can also jump to the 'Roman Reconstructionists'.
And there are a LOT more out there.
They don't mean it. They don't even understand it.
“Im British and Welsh, sounds like something my ancestors would do before they were taught the Gospel.”
Precisely!
They don't mean it. They don't even understand it.
The original pagan religions were real, substantive religions that prescribed codes of conduct, held certain behavior to be virtuous and other behavior to be evil. They functioned as the moral and ethical guides for their respective societes.
This New Age stuff doesn't really focus on those aspects of pagan religion. The new age Norse religion seems to be a cover for white supremacists. Modern Wiccans are a bunch of middle-aged hippie chicks who like to go naked in the woods, and the men who want to bed them.
The old religions are dead- trying to revive them in a society like ours makes no sense. The original religions, like any religion, grew organically to serve the needs of their respective societies. You can't just transplant a religion over centuries into a completely different culture and society.
I did that once, just to spite my face.
But seriously folks....my dog had his nose cut off when he was a puppy...How does he smell, you ask?
Terrible!!
Lewis was well read in the Classics (his day job) and the Edda and Sagas. He commented elsewhere that it would be worth reviving Paganism just to see a gaggle of cabinet ministers trying to sacrifice a white bull!
Nobody who has read the Edda (elder or younger) has any illusions about Norse paganism. The problem is that nobody is reading them any more!
Here's Your Sign
I just hate stupid people.
They should have to wear signs that just say I'm stupid.
That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you?
You wouldn't ask them anything. It would be like, "Excuse me...oops,
never mind"
"I didn't see your sign."
It's like before my wife and I moved from Texas to California
our house was full of boxes and there was a u-Haul truck in our driveway.
My friend comes over and says, "Hey, You moving?"
"Nope."
"We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week. Just to see how many boxes it takes."
"Here's your sign."
Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?
We're not dealing with the planet of apes,
we're talking about the modern man.
So you people with them itsy bitsy teensie weensie tiny minds... Here's your sign. Here's your sign.
A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine,
we pulled his boat into the dock,
I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of bass
this idiot on the dock goes, "Hey, yall catch all them fish?"
Nope.
"Talked 'em into giving up."
"Here's your sign."
I was out in the front yard with my boy the other day
and he was playing with his little friend,
and he hit his friend
and I went up to him and I said "Hey, (smacks his boy), we don't hit." He looked up at me like, "Here's your sign, dad."
Why can't they get the picture?

I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel,
there was a guy inventing a shark bite suit.
There's only one way to test that.
"Alright Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks good...
They want you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you tell us if it hurts when they bite you."
"Well allright....hold my sign, I don't wanna loose it"
Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?

Last time I was home I was driving around I had a flat tire,
I pulled my truck into one of these side-of-the-road gas statioons,
the attendant walks out,
looks at my truck,
looks at me,
I swear to GOD he went, "Tire go flat?"
I couldn't resist.
I said "Nope".
"No I was driving around and those other three just swelled right up on me."
"Here's your sign."
Why can't they get the picture?

People with them little bitty teenie weenie tiny monds...
Here's your sign.
We were trying to sell our car about a year ago,
a guy come over to the house,
drove the car around for about 45 minutes.
We get back to the house,
he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the exhaust pipe,
then goes, "Damn thats hot!"
See...
If he'd been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.
LOL
Just a thought...if you can’t even handle a sword without stabbing yourself in the foot, you’re probably not ready to be allowed to be a Wiccan priestess.
lol
What do you mean "British and Welsh?" The Welsh are British (in fact, one of the oldest British populations).
Did you perhaps mean "English?" Please do not subsume English identity into Britishness. The Scots and Welsh retain their particular identities. The English deserve the same.
