Posted by Curmudgeon Witch : You say: all i wanted is to get to the people Thanks for posting the letter, I had not run across it before now. Did you do a google search to see if you could locate the exact author? That being said, what I don't quite understand is exactly what it is about the letter that makes you so angry? *I* might quibble that the letter infers that ALL Witches are Wiccan and that ALL Witches think that the harm-none-bit of the longer Rede is some LAW that they must follow and that ALL Witches are god and goddess worshippers... but those quibbles are just me, a Witch who likes semantic and historical and realistic accuracy, whining about terminology. I also dislike the letter-author's inference that every single person who self-labels as a Witch is someone who I MUST love and call 'sister' and 'brother'.... Has this letter-author never run into any Witchy wackos before? After all, there are some folks who claim Witchcraft or Paganism who are thieves, liars and not to be trusted at all. Demanding that I embrace all Witches is silly, I reserve the right to only embrace those who have shown themselves worthy of my embrace. But the above is MY quibble with the letter... what is yours? It sounds to me that you are angry about the letter and in fact, find the letter offensive. Could you give us some details of what you disagree with.
