Re: OT class
That's the thing about Wicca that really cracks me up -- all this arguing about whose "tradition" is the oldest. When, in actuality, these are all recently invented religions, same as modern-day Satanism. Satanists, however, readily admit to the fact that Satanism is an invented religion (or, more precisely, a philosophy), and even place the Year One, Anno Satanas, as starting in 1966. There's a bit of debate among Satanists as to whether I A.S. began on Walpurgisnacht of that year (April 30th), or on Jan. 1st -- but that's not really that big an issue.The Gardnerians were founded in the 1950s by Gerald Gardner, and the Alexandrians in the 1960s by Alex Sanders. And even though members of either group may claim a pedigree dating back to the Burning Times, that doesn't make it so. Nor am I impressed that the Gardnerians were around a decade before the Alexandrians. I swear to the Horned One, I'm gonna invent my own cool religion and call all my followers "Nanaeians". :)Hey, Priapos? Wanna join?-- Nanaea

Oops I committed an error in syntax -- that was "Do I get to sacrifice Daividh, Mistress?" -- how many blows do I receive in the head for foregiveness, your beatitude?

Your sin shall be forgiven, for on that memorable evening of Nanaeanacht we were visited upon by the Most High Mike C. Yea, verily, did thou doest good by summoning up His Presence. It was truly a nacht to remember. :)-- Nanaea

The Goddess Nanaea is pleased. She smiles upon you. You shall have much good fortune, up to and including the next Nanaeanacht.Which, in my cool, invented religion, will occur more than once a year. Coz the Goddess Nanaea likes excuses to party. :)-- Nanaea

"This posting will self-destruct in two days...."Heheh, Mike C.'s been reading our stuff, and I'll bet he knows more about us than we know about him. I'll also bet that, just like Mr. Phelps, Mike C. has a dossier on every one of us members of his E.M.F. (Etymological Missions Force). ;)-- Nanaea
