re exposed, the Church, instead of taking any measures against them, merely assigns them to some out-of-the-way parish at a different state and allows them to continue their priestly activities. This and no other is the reason the Church is so severely criticized.

So, you must still wonder why am I mentioning this at all. There is a very good reason. It is no secret among Mexican Pagans that I am pretty much disliked among many groups of pagans, mostly because I quite simply shock people who seem to believe that “Pagan” stands for “sharing Wiccan beliefs” when they find out that I do not believe in the Law of Three, I don’t give a damn about candle colors, I couldn’t care less about the Rede, I do not believe in “the God and Goddess” (or, like </a></b></a>

sannion says in his article Unity Through Diversity , “the Great Mother Goddess [TM]”. </a></font></b></a> sannion , by the way, wrote a great piece; by all means don’t miss it!). Most of all, though, folks seem to think I’m not even Pagan anymore because I’ve quite simply stated that I’m not interested in Wicca any longer. (Edit: I have no idea where the sXC I Was shocked with disbelief when to one Such person, Who Shall go nameless, eleven wrote to me Something Along These Lines: "I know a lot of shady stuff about (here she Mentioned in Un certain person), too, pero I've Never Said a Word of it just like I'll never say anything bad about you. It is Obvious to me That You Have Never undergone a true initiation, Because you so Openly criticize and expose her, the Oath binds me to never wrong to brother or sister in the Craft, and I am true to it. "

But This is one example of Something Several times I've heard, But It's the only time Actually It Was Used as "proof" that I Was a false adept. Where do I start ...? CHTM LXC

Ok, so we were discussing a person (no, I won’t mention her so as not to detract from our subject here) who charges her students for teaching them stuff like “male faeries are called elves and female fairies are called faeries”; “initiating someone else is unethical, you must self-initiate”; “the Rede and the Golden Rule are the centuries-old tenetrs of the Craft”; “you can follow any religion and be a Wiccan, because Wicca is not religious”; “a Wiccan will never kick a stone, because stones are our grannies”... and my all-time favorite: “Wicca is what the Druids practised twelve-thousand years ago; Gerald Gardner decided we couldn’t call oly.

However, if you know about (let me outline a few instances where I’ve given my opinion in the past) a fellow Pagan who teaches nonsense... somebody who is initiating anybody who asks... a person who is associated with and promotes among her students a well-known hoaxer and scammer... a witch who teaches a mythology of fictional deities and claims they are Celtic by quoting imaginary anthropologists... then you are oath-bound to keep silent and look the other way because “you must not wrong a fellow Pagan”??? So, then, it’s wrong when the catholics do it, but it’s all right when we Pagans do it? If a Pagan tries to sexually abuse somebody (and it has happened too), you would break the Oath if you denounce them?

I’m sorry, I never took an Oath that forced me to allow scammers, liars and fools to fill people’s heads with their nonsense. It bears mentioning that not all Pagan Oaths include that particular clause about not speaking evil about fellow Pagans (nor do all Pagans swear Oaths for that matter), but come on, are those Pagans who do swear that particular Oath truly bound to allow liars and scammers and even criminals to soil Paganism? I don’t think so! It’s arguable whether such people are even “fellow Pagans” or “brothers and sisters in the Craft” at all, when they display a clear lack of ethics and honesty. It would seem that said Oath is often misunderstood at least as badly as the Wiccan Rede usually i and we must focus on what really matters, on our own praxis, and nothing else; if we lost sleep over the nonsense that others are buying into, getting into petty enmities and endless arguments, then it is us who are buying into a game that is as pointless as it is banal. However, out of respect for Paganism, there should be nothing wrong were we to openly state our opinions sometimes and counter the misconceptions. And, if we encounter malicious hoaxers who take money or worse from their students, then by all means we should expose them for what they are; to do otherwise is indeed “looking the other way” when we see an illegal action taking place! In both instances, those who have been convinced by whatever disinformation and claims will be infuriated; but hopefully, at least a few will pay heed and maybe not fall for the snare.
