Ok, I know I will get in trouble for this but what the hell, Goddess hates a coward. I have only been on this site for a few weeks. I enjoy it very much. What I enjoy most is the large diversity of people, ages, and beliefs. But... I have to say I am taken aback by all the posts regarding Vampires, Demons, Black magic, wild spells. I have been studing the Occult for two decades and I have to admit in all that time I have never encountered so many inquiries on these subjects. I realize this is not a Wiccan site, but I guess I have been concentrating on some very practical problems that exist in the world. Discrimination against Pagans in the workplace, and throughout Society. Providing reliable information about Wicca to the general public. Setting the groundwork for Pagan Charter schools, Pagan Daycare centers, Pagan Green Cemetaries, teaching Pagans how to run and win Public offices, trying to unite various groups to meet and discuss these issues and more. On this site, I can read in one day requests for spells that can turn one into a vampire, or a request to meet Faeries, and Demons, and boogeymen of all stripes. I realize those type of spells are sexy, and not as colorful as fighting against discrimination, but I have to say some of these requests are just inane, and border on the ludicrous. Maybe that what makes this site interesting to people, and I am prepared to get feedback telling me to mind my own business, and various historical references defending the existence of Vampires and the such. However, there are a lot of very real problems that exist for seekers in the Pagan world that I think we need to discuss and address. Perhaps this site is not the place to do so, but they need addressing nonetheless. Thank You for reading, Happy Yule to all!! ( and I mean all ) Rilke
