If I wrote a book that said -A wiccan must always do a crap before closing the circle, then take the crap and bury it, to represent the expulsion of negative energy – would any of you actually do it? I know I wouldn’t.

I think that most pagans/wiccans are by nature the type that question what they see and read, otherwise wouldn’t we still be christians? (And no, I’m not slating christians)

I do not defend either the Frost’s book or AJ’s actions and comments, and definately not the abuse of children, or the abuse of power the passage represents.

Interestingly enough, not one person has stepped forward and said they have followed that practice, which hopefully proves the point: While a great many people will have read the book, the majority (and hopefully all) have the good sense not to follow blindly, the Frosts included, it would seem.

I completely agree with a previous comment, surely our energy would be better directed in the setting up and/or supporting of an anti-child abuse group? Those that like their publicity can gain it in a positive way by saving children under threat.

Just one child saved by a pagan/wiccan would give out better, more postive, publicity, as well as a heck of a lot of good karma.

As I said, YOU have made it about the Frost’s. You have made the Frost’s a bigger deal than other other factor of your event; DeFrost, etc.

I believe that you are now trying a bit of smoke and mirrors to redirect how your motives are viewed.

How is the Frost thing being just one hour in a 3 day event any different from your rite just being one hour in a 3 day event? It is all tied together in one package isn’t it? Merry Christmas.

The Sacrifice to Caring is a one hour rite being written and led by victims of child molstation, rape, and abuse. The event itself is three days. Each year, there is a work in focus. The focus of this years work is the defence of children.

Many organizations which protect children will be in attendanc, including Bikers Against Child Abuse (my favorite).

Stating that the event is all about the Frosts is uninformed. Sure, I reply to blogs where people make false statements about the nature of my proposed sacrifice, however that is because those statements are addressing me personaly. The event is much larger than myself and involves much more than the matter of the Frosts.

Like I said, one hour of a three day event. Saying RWB is all about the Frosts is like saying it is all about Voodoo possessions (that one has a two hour time slot).

Greetings;

You’re right. It takes a book, a movie, a stupid TV show, or a board game to do that!

Fraternally,

Now I hear you all moaning (because I hear it so often from fellow Pagans) that nobody has a right to tell other people how to do things- and you are correct, inasmuch as those things do not involve illegal activity, especially child abuse! Once innocents are being harmed, or a situation is created in which innocents can be harmed, something needs to be done- even if that something is nothing greater than the rest of us saying- We don’t agree with that.
