I love October, the wheel turns as the leaves do, and the whole place is beautiful... and we have Halloween!
As a kid I loved the dressing up and as an adult ...I still love dressing up! As a Pagan, it's an important time too, not only because I start to find really weird stuff online from people who have some strange ideas about the holiday... todays top find has to be this:
WOW...This is a new one to me..... Satans Birthday...I really can't explain how many holes there are in this idea. Thankfully a young child has covered some of them for me...
A friend posted this on Facebook and received some every interesting discussion (possibly from the teacher mentioned above!) 😞
I would post extracts from the discussion here but as the commenter (as usual) ended up falling back on petty insults when they were obviously outdone, I won't give them the space.
I will provide one quick easy lesson in basic logic however:
Satan is a construct of Christianity. Pagan is an umbrella term for pre-Christian religions. Therefore, Pagans aren't Satanists.
Simple huh?!
