I'll fallow him right after I'm done fallowing my reeds.
This has something to do with farming, right?

I just love how he thinks he's smacked me down. It's obvious he thinks I'm some sort of wannabe.

I'm wondering if I might have met this guy before.
There was a guy at one of the meet ups who was really pompous, and asked me if I knew what his necklace meant.

Well, I told him that it was the alchemical symbol for earth, with the colored stones at each point and the center standing for the directions + spirit. I told him I had the same necklace.

He informed me that that was impossible, since he bought his at *some mystical spot I can't recall* and that it stood for THE ALL-FATHER.

I said, basically: "Whatever. I bought that identical necklace in Renton,Washington five years ago. The paper that explained it came with it, and was printed right from the Azure Green catolog the shopkeeper had ordered the pendant from. kthxbye."

It wouldn't surprise me if it was the same guy, both pretending to be all Norse and stuff.

So true.

I think I finally understand what the intense work you do with riddles has given you: the ability to unravel the ravings of a nearly illiterate, self-aggrandizing wannabe.

I hope you rewarded yourself after that exchange.

I will tonight, by doing Circle with my love. That is the ultimate reward. :)

I think you should find out where he got his "Rev" credentials--I'm betting ULC because the Correllians don't grant ordinations until 3rd, which requires face-to-face training. (Unless they're doing some oddness with their phrasing, granting Reverences without ordinations or some such.)

While you're at it, find out if he's a Correllian 1st or 2nd. (Shouldn't be hard; they tend to proclaim themselves pretty loudly.)

Then write to the Correllians, quoting select bits of his emails:
servent of the dark lady (Note the misspelling.)

just a well deserved slap in the face for someone the needs to better understand the reed the profess they fallow. I am not so handicapped. ;) (Note the lack of spelling again, and proclamation that he doesn't follow the rede.)

I am a tact less old man that finds many faults in the world, yet there are those that would fallow me still

Oh, I think this one claims to be an HP.

I really don't think I want to go that far. I know the High Correllian Witche Queene, D.D.S. in the area, from way back when, when she was just your everyday eclectic poly pagan, and I don't think she'll care. This guy is prolly one of her boyfriends, anyway.

And the Grand High Poobah of the Correllians told an interviewer that "Bewitched" showed what Wicca was really all about, so can anyone really believe he gives a hoot about what people think of his trad?

Potentially, you could write up a rantish article for witchvox, about how standards for "clergy" have declined so much that many of the people claiming to represent Wicca to the general public are uneducated (in several senses of the word), incoherent, bigoted and completely oblivious to how *stupid* they make us all seem.

[dbmyrrha]

My Priest already did something similar last year, with his article entitled "Keep Your Money."

Perhaps I may be motivated. I will think about it. I hear they're hurting for writers there.

Friending

[morven]

Ooo. Interesting. I found you from pimp_my_altar, definitely friending you if you don't mind.

Re: Friending

[dbmyrrha]

Certainly. I will return the flavor. :)
