Not arguing any of that, only that the modern brand centers around the power of the female. I work with a couple of Wiccan(sp?). It seems very woman centric.
Are you suggesting pre Christian Europe was that way @Wood-Ape - OK/MN
Wicca is made up and stupid
Not arguing that bruv
a lot of wicca came from the Jewish kabbalah
particularly the symbolism
Makes sense.
@Ald No. Pre Christian Europe was patriarchal even if not Christian.
That is why (non-pozzed) Asatru is okay, but Wicca is cancer.
the "star of david" was central to the temple of solomon when he was experimenting with other religions
I would just say the female role in pagan spirituality needs to exist in that Indo European patriarchal tradition or it becomes made up and self aggrandizing like wicca
there is nothing Godly about the star of david
it's middle eastern pagan if anything
there is a pretty good theory that the star of david is actually just 666
6 points, 6 triangles, 6 sides ...
I wonder if the symbol came in through Solomon's diverse wives...
@MrBland - VA that's exactly where it came from
@MrBland - VA Solomon was purported to be a sorcerer, no?
Magus, wizard, etc.
he was and after he was granted "wisdom" from God he abandoned God and started practicing other religions of his wives
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN you mean Saurumon, I think
which is where the Kabballah comes from
I firmly believe the star of david is the "mark of the beast"
@Ald I've always felt Polish, but I don't wanna be a subverter, so I'll support white American interests
it makes sense in the New Testament the Jews are referred to as the synagogue of satan
I agree but Americanness is a natural extension of Englishness I guess
I love Ecclesiastes, that man definitely had some wisdom.
Too bad he squandered it for so much of his life.

The text is likely NOT of ancient origin, but perhaps inspired by earlier lost works
Also, the idea that two "Americans" of different races will have more in common than two whites is absurd
I've been to 18 countries and there's no way I have more in common with a black American than a Norweigan
@Ald no LMAO-ing white religious denominations
@Procella Eques Wasn't that just the Pharisees referred to as the synagogue of Satan by other Jews telling them they weren't being Jewish correctly
@ThisIsChris Sorry I kind of assumed there are not IE Anglicans
Magic dirt theory pisses me off so much
Mark of the beast.. One if my favorite topics. My take on it is rather... Practical I guess you would call it rather than esoteric.
@Ald not sure about IE in particular, but there are serious anglicans out there, carrying on their traditions
@Ald Yes, I can see balance is needed. In Christianity Mothers (and Mary) are honored as are many female martyrs and saints. For Norse/Celts/Hellenics goddesses are honored, but sacral kingship is primary.
That's fine but the mainline Anglican church is run by lesbians for the importation of aliens to the UK
