Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness
Recent rantings from Christian Looney-Tunes misrepresenting Paganism and the occult:
More evangelical foibles in Texas where they also manage to work in football (10/25/2009). You gotta love where the author, who is not the evangelical fruitcake, expresses doubt that Pagans or Wiccans have used the park by saying "the police had no reports." What ( Read more... ) -
Effect of Galactic Center?

I was using Lon ( Read more... ) -
FAQ from paganwiccan.about.com
