Pagan news and views

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: Man-made global warming fears reach hysterical pitch
Dear Mr. Rohrich,
I am flattered that you would give my email (and my website) such publicity over one little email. I would have thought the better course of action would be to simply ignore what was, admittedly, a puerile (although very cathartic) response to what I felt [...]

Magic, Wicca and Pagan Rituals

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: The Left: spirited debaters
What is your opinion on Magic, Wicca and Pagan Rituals - I’d be interested to read?
Is it similiar to your opinions on breaking one loaf of bread and one fish and feeding thousands - or making the blind see, or the crippled walk, or meeting the devil on a mountain!
What [...]

Gaian Science???

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding
I don’t mean to be rude, but I read your article ‘Green pagans find way to White House funding’ and it is quite possibly the most ignorant and bigoted article I have ever read. I was truly aghast.
I am a big fan of not dishing [...]

Witch/wicca/pagan religion

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Wal-mart goes Wicca
As a police officer for over thirty years, and a practicing Witch/Pagan for over thirty eight, I found your article somewhat troublesome, although it did have a certain amusement value.
This is the same Wal-Mart, I assume, that carries entire walls of Christian Bibles, not to mention all of the “Left Behind” books, [...]

A letter from a Druidic/Celtic Pagan Priestess

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
My name is Acacia Nokomis. I have recently read your article titles “Wal-Mart goes Wicca” on an interfaith tolerance group that I belong to on the internet.
I was deeply disturbed by your assumption that Wiccans, Pagans, and other non-Christians would do something to harm another human being. Perhaps you are not familiar [...]

Your hateful column on witches

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
Don’t you have a law protecting freedom of religion in Canada? I just read your hateful column about Wal-Mart selling Wiccan books in Canada and was appalled by your statements. I certainly hope that all Canadians aren’t so unenlightened and close-minded.

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants [...]

Wiccans and Kwanzaa

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
What’s with all the Wicca-bashing in the article “Wal-Mart goes Wicca”? That’s as offensive to me as an article on Kwanzaa that says, “Oh, what will those wacky black people think of next?”

Slanderous comments on witches

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
I am writing to inform you that your article on Wicca
has offended a great deal of people and I am honestly
shocked that any decent publisher allowed that to go
to print. I am offended because people like you don’t
take the time for research on the subject in which you
choose to write. I would [...]

Pagans and Witches have had their heritage stolen

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
Recently, I was made aware of your editorial/article regarding Wal-Mart carrying Wiccan literature. I was, however, shocked and saddened by the cynical jibe at the end of the article.
Pagans and Witches have had their heritage stolen from them by the Christian culture, just as the aboriginal [...]

From a Neo Pagan

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
As a NeoPagan myself, I must say I was less than pleased about Judi McLeod’s article on Wicca gaining an increasing presence in Wal-Mart. Ms. McLeod demonstrates the ignorance and fear that practitioners of our religion have been weathering since we first came public after England abolished its anti-witchcraft laws. [...]
