Beltane Fire Festival is an annual participatory arts event and ritual drama, held on April 30 on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. It is inspired by the ancient Gaelic festival of Beltane which was historically   more...held on May eve and marked the beginning of summer. The modern festival was started in 1988 by a small group of enthusiasts including the musical collective Test Dept., with academic support from the School of Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh.

Our Imbolc this year was overshadowed by the passing of our friend Gene on January 30th.

Having grown weary of observing so called 'witch wars' within the pagan community, I decided that I'd babble about this. No offence was intended to folks, but it is hoped that perhaps humanity will learn   more...to look upon each other in a different light. When you can look into the face of a so-called enemy and recognize Divinity within that person, then you will understand what I am talking about. It's not about being a victim to anyone or letting people walk all over you, its about choosing to respond in a honorable/respectful manner. The louder the words, the weaker the cause.  less

1. Dubunk attempt # 1
Most Wiccans, who are knowledgeable recognize the age and the

background of their religion. Gardner's studies have been well

documented. Although he claimed to have been initiated   more...into a

centuries old coven, this cannot be proven. What we can prove is that

he collaborated and borrowed heavily from Aleister Crowley and

Helena Blavatsky of Thelema and Theosophy respectively as well as

ancient practices of the Saxons, Germans, Norse, Celts, Greeks and

Romans. Other notable sources would be Robert Graves and Charles

Leland as well as Margaret Murray.

Well as Margaret Murray's research has not stood the lest of time,

Leland, while not perfect in his recantations, has managed to get many

things right. This is why reputable Witchschools such as

Witchschool.com use Leland's writings to this day.

So John Parker's book is called At The Heart of Darkness: Witchcraft,

Black Magic and Satanism Today. Not exactly an unbiased account of

Witchcraft, huh. So let's stick to non biased sources shall we.

2. Debunk Attempt #2
Any Witchcraft that claims to be older than 1950 is highly suspect.

Three words for you. Stregha, Voodoo, and Paupa, New Guinea. Try

pre Christian. All three traditions are virtuially unchanged through time

and can be traced hundreds if not thousands of years. Stregheria, for

example is one of the oldest surviving forms of European Witchcraft

and can be traced prior to the Christian infestation of Italy. The

Etruscan civilization, whose Gods are well documented and bear close

resmeblance to the Roman Gods, is the basis of the Stregheria

religion.

The very idea that there is no Witchcraft tradition that is older than 50

years is absolutely silly in the fact that Leland wrote Aradia or Gospel

of the Witches in 1899. Umm I'm not very good at math, but hey, I think

that adds up to more than 50. But then, hey we're talking about a

Christian that thinks 4.5 billion equals 6000. Not very good at math, or

science for that matter.

3. Debunk attempt #3

Wiccans don't acknoweldge the Devil and or Satan. And we use

deceptive schemes and word games to cover up our involvement with

the devil.

Lucifer=Light Bearer this is simply etymology. Lucifer's presence in

the Bible only happens once, because it was an error, There are

subsequent versions of the Bible that don't mention Lucifer at all and

instead replace Lucifer with the Morning Star, Christians can

understand this. Just to prove my point here's a website from a church

with that very information.

Jules Michelet
Satanism and Witchcraft. Okay, first of all, you are quoting someone

who was a sympathizer with the Catholic Church, secondly, his work

has been largely debunked.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism_and_Witchcraft

Mastering Witchcraft, a Practical Guide to Witches, Warlocks and

Covens Paul Huson, making a grave error in the title of his book

obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. Also, I don't see how

this is a Wiccan book.

Upside down pentagrams used as Second Degree Initiations.

The Horned God, is older than the idea of Satan. Christians made

their devil look like the horned one in order to try and convert European

Pagans. When that didn't work, they used force.  less
