My vibe was if you look into druid and wiccan organizations, there are some pretty specific adherences to particular dogmas and schools:

Inter coven rivalry? Hmm… An that it harm none? You’d think the brick thrower was wiccan…

Ms. Pagan seems to be active in 2 or 3 counties in Florida with regards to participating in planning _pagan_ meetings and events. Kinda noobish, IMNSHO, sponsored events and such, probably not a revenue stream issue.

I’m a little confused with regards to how she calls herself a witch yet she is heralded as a pagan in all these MSM articles.

And here’s the question: What did the note say?

-tc

my question is, how can it be a hate crime if it’s witch-on-witch action? i mean, if i toss a brick at you because i hate *you* and not your race, does that mean i committed a hate crime?

If she had burned a cross on her lawn and spray painted “sinner repent!” on her garage door - and then pretended to find these when she woke up in the morning - she’d be on Montel, Oprah and Dr. Phil by now, and probably have a book deal too.

I agree on that. If it’s simply a matter of getting attention, the obvious thing would have been to make it a Christian-on-Wiccan thing. The very fact that it’s not makes it seem like there’s really something going on.

Q: does the name Jill Pagan sound unauthentic to anyone else?

Yeah, seriously. Hey, maybe she is trying to get a book deal….? It’s a long shot, but having a media splash like that could be enough to get you over the hump. Like maybe between this and her last name, she could be trying to craft the message: “Im so pagan that other pagans are jealous.”

I really don’t know though. It’s all purely speculation.

(i dont mean that literally Mrs. Jill Pagan, please dont take that seriously! i abhor violence, unless it’s written in assyrian. or phonecian, now there’s a hex’in language for you!)

Q: does the name Jill Pagan sound unauthentic to anyone else?

OTOH, why theban and concrete?

If she had burned a cross on her lawn and spray painted “sinner repent!” on her garage door - and then pretended to find these when she woke up in the morning - she’d be on Montel, Oprah and Dr. Phil by now, and probably have a book deal too.

Late on night, she heard a thud outside her home, went to inspect it, and found a large chunk of concrete with a note attached to it.

Boo! A horses’ head would have sent a stronger message.

My guess is it’s something more pedestrian than spiritual. Maybe she’s sleeping with someone’s significant other, or is spreading gossip or something like that.

Check out alt.religion.wicca circa 1998

when the wiccan “internets” were full (at least for some years there, before Blogs existed) of all sorts of maladjusted nerds

threatening each other with hexes and lawsuits over various spouse-flirtartion/pet poisioning/Renaissance Faire costume-idea stealing scandals

and all sorts of other petty mundane nonsense

I was actually talking about this with my shrink last night, there is a genuine “peace dividend” to be gleaned from just dropping and walking away from grudges, arguments, etc…

just drop’em, steer the energy thus wasted back into things you want to build for yourself not tear down for others

easier said than done, as a stubborn argumentative vindictive MF myself i had to learn this the hard way

1. Maybe if school didn’t suck, kids wouldn’t fuck it up.
2. Maybe if you went to high school in the worst school district in the US–that’s a hard-to-win award–you wouldn’t give a damn.
3. That’s good, why don’t you assholes heap blame on some barely-legal small business owning immigrants who live in the back of their store with their kid and actually have a little bit of faith.
