It’s because of these two countries that we have a hung parliament, its the people in these countries will always vote Labour because they need all the benefits they get under them… Scotland and Wales need to eff off.

These two countries will never stop living in the past, Gordon Brown could personally p*ss down all their throats and they would still vote for him.

since all grandmothers are gone now and i wasn’t old enough to lear cooking from them, i would love a great christmas pudding recipe that i can enjoy and pass on to my childre. please take pity on me. thanks to all who take the time to answer my questions and a recipe for a good rack of lamb would be very much appreciated to.

Maybe it’s just how I was taught (and it always seemed right to me)… but a big thing driven into me was that you respect a God or Goddess on His/Her own terms.

A perfect example– the Christian God says “have no other Gods before me.” But people want to drag Him into Wiccan rituals and put a Goddess beside Him. Does “but I want to do it that way” really cut it? Shouldn’t you be doing it His way if you want to worship Him?

Or people who want to mix Greek and Hindu Gods in a Celtic (flavored) style ritual. Is there something a bit off about throwing out the Celtic Knot altar cloth and invoking Kali-Ma and Pan to honor Them for Samhain? Or throw Santerian Orisha statues on their fairy Wicca altar with a stack of prayer petitions?

Isn’t it a bit like treating like Them like hired help, to drag Them along to do something for you? To not even go out of your way to make Them feel comfortable and at home the way you would treat a guest of honor? If WE are the ones inviting THEM into our lives, shouldn’t WE be the ones to make appropriate accommodations and an effort to forge a relationship in a way They feel comfortable?

Or is it all about us? Do you think God/desses just don’t care what we do… it’s the thought that counts and all that sort of thing (even if the thought didn’t go much further than “hey, i want something from this One”). Call Them, mix Them, match Them, use Them, they’re just delighted to be getting attention from us and don’t ever expect us to have the manners to treat Them a certain way.

But even if you think They are understanding enough not to demand or expect things from us– how do you not yourself WANT to be as respectful and thoughtful as possible when addressing Them, taking cues from history and mythology and cultures that have revered Them for centuries before us, on what They prefer?

Sorry for the rant but curious of what others think. Maybe I’m missing some logic here.
Clarification– perhaps I should have made this clear– I’m talking about those who actually believe in and/or worship Higher Powers. If you don’t believe in deity then it’s a given you don’t think there are entities who care about anything.

Basementcat, I know there is a difference; that’s why I addressed Wiccans & Heathens & Pagans in general instead of just “Wiccans” or just “Pagans” or just “Heathens.” If I thought they were all the same exact thing I would not have used all 3 terms. And I know Wiccans are Pagans… but being Wiccan I was hoping to specifically catch the attention of Wiccans, but I’d be happy to hear opinions from those of any other Pagan faith, and Heathens as well.

…much about it. I need it for school as we’re doing dancing at lughnasadh soon and apparently it’s relevant to this. I need to know some of the political background, cultural background and celtic background, please? I’d be really grateful if any of you could help me, thank you!

The above link is an image of a stained glass window in Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall. It is the Flett family crest. I don’t know much about the history of coat of arms.

The word in the picture, “ROITHMAN” is significant in the crest but I can’t find any information for it.

Any info?

You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find one. I’m looking to go to grad school for psychology and was interested in Scotland but I’m having trouble.
