Oooh, look, I have an admirer in my guestbook! How sweet, my site "sucks ass" and he's not going to come back. Well, if he's not coming back, then he won't mind if I use his little tirade against me to ridicule him and amuse those who like coming here. So here I go. :D
you dumb bitch, anyone who listens to type o realizes that the song, "The Green Man", is about the Druid faith.
Let's get past the "dumb bitch" part first. Considering that I just graduated from a research I university with honors in a double degree, it doesn't really make sense. Hmmm, and I also listen to Type O Negative, and own 2 albums, so I guess I am "anyone who listens to Type O." But what's really funny about this sentence is that anyone who listens to Type O would know it's about the Druid faith. Like if I didn't listen to them, I wouldn't know? Did he read the liner notes and finally have a religious awakening or something?
it has absolutely nothing to do with paganism or wicca for that matter.
Druids weren't pagans? Did they not worship multiple gods? Didn't they live out in the countryside (the definition of "pagan" is someone who lives in the country)? Didn't they get stamped out by Christians millenia ago and since the areas they lived in were illiterate they left no records? So how the hell would he know what "the Druids" actually did? So no, Druids had absolutely nothing to do with Wicca (since there's a lot of time lag btw 100 and 1955 AD), but they were definitely pagan. Now, if he were talking about those guys who think they're Druids in the modern day and go out and prance around outdoors, well, then they are not only pagan, but they do in fact have lots in common with Wiccans who do the same.
the only reason he add the line, "So says me, me wiccan friend", is because that is the closest religion to Druidism there is, if you wanna even call wicca a religion, its more like a reason to disobey the laws set by the pagan society.
Excuse me while I laugh a bit. Wicca is the "closest religion to Druidism" but it's not really a religion? And please, Wicca set the laws for modern day pagan society. But which pagan society is he talking about anyway? I mean there's Greek pagans who have different laws than Latin who are different from European who are different from Irish. Oh, and lets not forget our eastern bretheren who have been following a polytheistic path longer than anyone (and better if I do say so). And you know, you really need to stay away from those liner notes.
but, each to his own. i myself am a follower of The Dark Carnival. its the only "religion" that makes sense. peace.
But each to his own? Is that why you flamed me, out of open-mindedness? Wow, I wonder what would happen if he were closed-minded then. And it's the only religion that makes sense? So... Buddhism doesn't make sense? Jainism doesn't make sense? What about Bahai or Hinduism or Judaism? Oh, and thanks, but your little tirade didn't manage to convert me.
Oh, and just to let everyone know, those songs don't have to be about Wicca, they just have to give one a feeling of being close to it. I mean, Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" is definitely not about paganism, I think it's just funny if looked at from that perspective. So please, unless someone can write an intelligent criticism (with correct grammar and punctuation), please don't bother.
