But these are YOUR words, not those of some alleged "Star Goddess".

This the biggest problem with the usenet: Anyone can post
anything, and there are thousands of naive people who expect
others to simply accept them as an authority because they say or
imply they are.

Does this person know anything about Magick? Or is he/she just another
academic who has read a bunch of webpages and books?

By-the-way: none of these questions are frequently asked on this group, in
my experience, so he/she is telling an obvious untruth right off the bat.

I hear "wiccans" say this all the time, phrased many different ways:

Do What Thou Wilt So Long As You Harm None.

Yet the people _mouthing_ it buy goods that were made by de facto
slaves, sometimes children. They invest, directly and indirectly,
in the companies that 'employ' these slaves and in horrible,
polluting industries that destroy the health and well-being of
anyone associated with them. They pay taxes to the government to
fund the Military that commits mass murder around the world.

"Wiccans" and other "pagans" who make the same claim are phonies.
They pay others to do harm and pretend their hands are clean.

They claim to be non-violent and then call the Police, whom they
know to be willing to commit lethal violence if someone even
resists arrest, if they have problems.

I've killfiled most of the regulars here (of which there are a
lot fewer than their seems to be: they are mostly usenet vermin
and these people all post using many different names). One gets
tired of rotten, bitch-mouthed cowards who hide behind the
internet and attack anyone who posts something they don't like.

I don't allow punks like these to open their mouths in my
presence.
