Willowmist's Wanderings

I drove behind a royal blue PT Cruiser this evening.  Its license plate is GJM 6352 and it turned off from Blair Mill Rd a couple of streets before Country Line Rd.  It had two bumper stickers on the back.  One said, “Yes, I am a witch.  Deal with it!” The other said, “I believe in magick.”

So I’m driving along, thinking, oh look, a fellow Pagan, except that I’m sorry she is specifically identifying herself as Wiccan.  I’m thinking that the one bumper sticker makes her look foolish and the other makes her too confrontational.  The only thing I dislike more than a pushy, preachy Christian is a pushy, preachy Pagan.  So as I am contemplating the faults and virtues of the new age movement, damned if the Wiccan driver in front of me doesn’t toss a cigarette butt out of her window!

Now I am not a big fan of dogma, but, if the Pagan religions have any common theme that ties them together, it is a respect for the earth.  How is a true Pagan going to inhale noxious chemicals and then blow them out into the atmosphere, much less throwing litter on the ground?  The pure ignorant hypocrisy of that single act kinda makes me hate people even more.

Happy September 3 everyone.
