Do All Teen Girls Have a Wiccan Phase? {Lemondrop}

Apr 28th 2010 2:55PM To the teens who 'are in fact Wiccan' I want to say: You are NOT in fact Wiccan. There is a world of difference between the POPWICCA detailed in books with little crescent moons on the spine. It is a way of life that you are called to, not something you wake up and decide would be cool. What you are describing is earth-centered eclectic paganism. There is NOTHING wrong with that. But it is NOT Wicca. The term "Wicca" refers specifically to the lineaged, initiatory mystery religion with roots in the New Forest area of Great Britain. All true adherents of this Tradition are related by virtue of their initiatory and oath-bound lineage back to covens traced from that area. "The Wicca" are the properly initiated and trained practitioners of this religion. Further, until you are 18 years of age, no reputable Wiccan would ever discuss this religion with you or give you advice or anything else related to it while you are a minor and under your parent's guidance. If you cannot honor the parents you were born to, how can you hope to honor a Mother Goddess and Father God who require that you honor them? You have your whole life ahead of you. Concentrate on making good decisions now, treat your bodies as temples and don't saddle yourself with some misguided notion that you participte in a fertility religion when you are certainly in no place and in no way ready to be a part of it.

It is disrespectful to the practitioners of Wicca to call yourself something you are not. You may indeed one day walk this path, but until you are initiated to it, you are merely eclectic pagans. How you choose to accept this information will determine your fitness for this path. Don't be part of the problem, use your head so that you can one day be part of the solution.

Would you light your kid's cigarette? {ParentDish}

Aug 7th 2006 8:04AM Melanie Griffith has always been an addict of some kind. She supposedly left Don Johnson because he was a threat to her sobriety. Smoking is no different than alcohol or other drugs in that addiction to it represents a loss of control, it affects behavior and it costs money that could be used for something useful instead of lining the pockets of tobacco company executives. She needs to wake up to the cycle she is perpetuating. She's still an addict and she's still 'using' even if it's only cigarettes. Maybe the lesser of two evils in her eyes. People who smoke,or drink to excess are no better than the ones that do the hard drugs. It's still self abuse. She's also breaking the law. Hmmm, just like Mel Gibson. Arrest her ass and make her think twice about the example she's setting.
