[quote="deo_with_it (oh no you squident)"] ok this makes me pissed off ok my friends shannon is wiccan and she is nothing like what you just typed (note: she was born wikkan here whole family is wikkan ok) [/quote]
LMAO Ignorance right there.
1) It's wiccan, not wikkan. If she claimes to be wikkan (spelled that way) she isn't. I don't care if she was raised in the religion or not. Any true wiccan would know how to spell wiccan.
Just like spelling pagan pegan. Yeah, your a "pegan" alright... Your are the Fail!
2) And if you actually read the posts in this thread. You'd know that is bashing on the stupid idiots who can't seem to understand wicca and what it's about.
Maybe if you looked around instead of just the first page. You'd know that.
I hate people who just read one post and comment about it. I atleast have the decentcy to somewhat scan over some of the comments. : D
>/
3) And is your little friend 18? And in a coven? if not, she's not a wiccan. She can be raised in any religion she wants, but if she's not "confirmed (for those of you who know about Catholics and their sacriments that's basically an equavant.)" into a coven, she's not a wiccan, no way no how.
: D Happy days.

edit: Fluffy wiccans and their kinds. (Note this is off another website other than why wiccans suck... )
I found this on my travels and I thought it was funny and fairly accurate. (Please note that I did not write it so if you disagree with anything stated don't complain to me.)
What is a Fluffy Bunny?
This is a difficult question to answer, simply because there are many ideas regarding what constitutes a fluffy bunny. In this thread I hope to provide an overview of the different types of fluffy bunnies. If you feel that I've incorrectly defined or labelled a fluffy, please feel free to either post here or PM me so that I can update these definitions.
Fluffy Bunny 1: The Beginner (A.K.A. the "Newbie")
These are of the harmless sort, which do not deserve to be flammed or mocked. Only guided with patience, care, and attention. I'm sure many of us were of the "Newbie" variety. I most certainly was. A friend has provided a great definition for what constitutes a Newbie.
The Newbies are open to information, and that's precisely why they've most likely come here. For correct information, for open discussion, for general or varying opinions and insight regarding anything from God/desses, to Herbs, to Elements, et cetera.
Fluffy Bunny 2: The Pop Culture Bunny
Those who have watched too many episodes of Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and/or Angel; seen The Craft too many times; have read Harry Potter, the Sweep Series, et cetera; and cannot seem to separate fictitious inventions from reality.
These are different from the people who have seen the magick in The Craft and who ask, "is there such a being as Man'al real?" Because this is an honest inquiry. The Pop Culture Bunny is the kind to see rituals used in Buffy, and attempt to replicate them exactly. Then going on to claim to others that they've opened a Hellmouth, and now a Sloggoth demon is after them.
The kind who want the drama they see on TV manifest in real life. They want that kind of Hollywood excitment in their life, so they try their hardest to replicate fiction. They weave worlds of dellusion around them, and refuse to acknowledge magick honestly does, and can do.
Fluffy Bunny 3: The Bad Historian (A.K.A. The "Poor Me!" Bunny)
These are different from the Beginner Types because the Bad Historian Bunny knows that Wicca is only about 60 years old, but continues to claim that it is thousands of years old. That Wiccans were persecuted during the Inquisition (rather than innocent Christians), that Wiccans were burned at Salem (no one was burned at Salem), and that the evil Christians are out to thwart Wicca at every turn. For this reason, they're also known as the "Poor Me!" bunnies.
This is the sort of Bunny that will wear "Never Again the Burning Times" buttons, and will hiss every time they pass a Church, and will "recall" countless lifetimes in which they were persecuted for witchcraft. These sorts of Bunnies are pretty stuck in their way, so all that one can really do is smile, nod, and carry on without any further thought.
Fluffy Bunny 4: The White Light Bunny
This is the "I only practice White Magick" form of Bunny. They generally believe that all of the magick they practice is "white" or "good," and either deny the existence of dark/black magick, or are hell-bent on opposing it.
Very seldom do they consider the intention of their "white-light-Glenda-type" of magick. Is it wrong to bind someone if they are a danger to themselves or others from doing harm? Usually not, but they will insist it is. Or they will continually try to heal and send energy to someone that really only prolongs a suffering existance when that individual has come to grips with mortality.
Fluffy Bunny 5: The Anti-Fluffy
These are the sorts of fluffies who make it their sole purpose in life to belittle and insult the fluffies. They condemn them at every chance. They're often bitter and highly arrogant, believing that they alone have the correct view of magick and philosophy and that Fluffies are only serving to cheapen magick.
I've seen some anti-fluffies who look like Nancy from The Craft. All in black, looking terribly goth (there's nothing wrong with gothic style, but anything done for the wrong reasons is not very dignified) and scary. Regardless of their rhetoric or the particulars of their rantings, the Anti-Fluffy is still a Bunny.
[b]When I first read this off the website I got this from.. xD I was like... oh noes it's me... but it's not a sole purpose of mine. Mine is basically to live and if i see something wrong or being done wrong I'll say something. It's not me who's got to be the one to change it. It's the person doing it. : D and I don't have a problem with goths or any hollywood movies. Just the people who think they are off the movies and doing that crap. Yesh, that's stupid. : D [/b]
Fluffy Bunny 6: The Blinded Bunny
This is the kind of Bunny which strips basic necessities from a given practice or religion, watering it down, or altogether butchering it. As Asimis suggested: The type of Bunny who focuses solely on the Goddess, while ignoring the God altogether, then claiming that s/he is "balanced" and believes in the "balance" of the Universe. (Often goes well with Fluffy Bunny 4)
Or the kind who starts a Coven for the sole purpose of being High Priestess, and demanding veneration from the coven members.
Another kind of Blinded Bunny is the kind which believes that only heterosexuals can be Wiccan, because Wicca is a fertility religion, which stresses the ability to procreate. I don't know about you, but I've always heard of Wicca as being described as a "Nature-Oriented" religion rather than a "Fertility" religion.
Conclusion
In conclusion, one could begin to associate the word "fluffy" with "nonsense." Thus, a Fluffy Bunny, would one who is ridden with nonsensical and counter-productive opinions. Rarely does a Fluffy Bunny recognize that their opinions reflect reality just as poorly as everyone else's. They tend to carry the notorious "Witchier-Than-Thou" attitude. That, coupled with bad history, too much pop culture, or a hell-bent offence makes for an ugly combination.

wow.... *rubs eyes*
Those faux-wiccans are just like those bleach-blonde moms trying to be 15 again.
XD not gunna happen
Thats pretty cool though... but that whole pentacle thing isn't it like... when its upside down it means evil and then rightside up it means earth? something like that I read somewhere i think...
Does it really matter if you were born into a religion or not? You could be born to Ozzy and then be shipped to Bill Gates, right? I mean... its all a matter of situations....
And that whole cry for attention? When girls want attention then can shave their head. When guys want attention they can shave their legs and wear a dress... little people need to get over themselves....

Everything ends up in a trend. Trends never die. Just the way it is. xD Eventually they'll move onto something else. _________________ [img]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b362/Dragonicflamesfac/DFsig2.jpg[/img]

Wiccans cling to their religion not because they necisarally balive in it but because they are insecure in their own lives. The thought of mother earth being a safe haven for them helps them feel included and safe and the thought of spiritual energy also helps. ^^ |

I have a couple of friends who believe in Wicca, I really don't think its that immature or stupid, but as you said Will, its usually the people who try to "follow" the religion that ruin the whole spirit of it.
I find Wicca very interesting actually, never fully believed in it myself, but its still a very calm and relaxing religion that always makes you want to learn a little more about it. ^_^ _________________ I'm just a simple MEGGY MAE. |
