Her and Don do seem a bit self indulgent.
Being Pagan I do come in contact with many like her.
It's the showy side of Paganism I don't like.I'm a jeans kinda lady! I was on a Witchcraft message board on Google I think. Alot of people are not crazy about her representing Witches. One person said something that made alot of sense. It's TV if they Portrayed a real every day Witch. The show would be boring. Same goes for a Naturalist or a Vampire.

Which song?

--is curious since she missed the episode

At the end of Fionas Ritual she sang a chant of Goddesses names.
That Chant is a song called "Witches Chant" By that band.

The Chant is:
Isis
Astarte
Diana
Hecatate
Demeter
Kali
Innana

>That chant
>is acually a song by
>a british Goth band called Inkubus
>Sukkubus (yes, spelled like that)

This might be an example of the goth band stealing an ancient rite and coopting it for a song. I have a feeling that the Goth band "stole" a sacred rite and put it to music and popularized it. I bet you that's what's up.

Concidering Fiona was in a rock band herself. I think it's just a song.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with using a song in ritual. I've done it many times. It's not about the words per se, it's about the intent behind them.

Besides, the names used in the song are Goddess names so...

--doesn't listen to Goth music cuz it makes her head hurt

I have used music myself. I think it is just the portayal of Fiona. Even though I am not Wiccan I get gruff from people thinking I'm like her.

Better to be labeled a wiccan than a devil worshipper I say.

When people ask me I often just refer to myself as wiccan because it's more easily understood.

True, But people don't see me as a Satanist but they think me as being "fluffy" Like the whole world is wonderful no evil!! LOL
Some "Wiccan" come off that way. That's why many don't take them seriously.
I would like to tell Fiona you are an author and now in the public eye. Think before you speak. because the editors of the show will make you look worse. so I'm told.

People who are in the business of spin might suggest you call yourself a Luciferian rather than a Satanist. It means that you are looking for light and truth rather than looking for what people believe to be the antithesis of God (good).

Hi Gaelraven- nice to meet you!

I just wanted to note that I've been singing that chant since I learned it in 1995, and it was old even then. Inkubus Sukkubus didn't release their album until 2000- so it looks like Inkubus co-opted the chant for their own interpretation.

Just adding my two-cents way late after the fact.

Hey sneezy baby, nice to see you here!

--tells sneezy join the MMH party by gettin' nekkid

No need to ask me twice... nekkid I am! (well, in spirit, anyway).

Can we go skinny-dipping? That is my favourite thing.

Nekkid only in spirit sneezy? Aww, here I was picturing you skyclad and typing away! *grin*

Now, if you can talk HE into getting skyclad and joining the circle, we can skinnydip all you want!

--hopes HE's move is going well

Being nekkid might bother my cubicle mate here at work... then again, maybe not...

I don't think I would have any problem persuading HE to bathe nekkid with two gorgeous chicks. It's just the "moving between states" thing that could be a problem. When he gets back online, we'll have to tempt him.

I'm picturing a siren-like call toward the floating boobies.
