When the real #WitchHunts begin, remember... Anyone the #ChristianRight doesn't like is considered a witch! Just like in the 1600s! Piss off the proctor? You're a witch! Have more land than Goodie Smith? You're a witch! Are you a man with a husband? You're a witch!
Concerns Over Targeting of Pagan Community in #Pickens, #SouthCarolina
By Manny Moreno | February 25, 2025
Excerpt: "On February 18, a YouTube video titled 'Witches Be Crazy with Pastor Barry Vaughn' was released by Kevin Harden of Gaining Ground Ministries. The video opens with Harden quoting Deuteronomy 18:9-12, which warns against practices like divination, sorcery, and necromancy.
"Pastor Barry Vaughn and Harden discuss a recent witchcraft festival in Pickens and their efforts to evangelize at the event. Vaughn confirms his presence and states that he and others initially protested outside the venue, later entering the facility before being told to leave.
"Following the backlash, Stillwater Christian Fellowship escalated its response through sermons, podcasts, and videos. Members called on pastors to 'chase the wolves out', a phrase that critics argue refers to witches, #LGBTQIA+ individuals, and #AbortionRights supporters.
"Vaughn later clarified in a video that he does not promote violence but supports the enforcement of what he calls 'God’s law.'" [What about eating shellfish? Or mixing threads together? HYPOCRITES!]

@LeatherCubAndrew Oh hey, my former coven was all about fighting back. They started a group -- the #ThomasMortonAlliance -- which allied with other radical groups (like #EarthFirst). The time has come for alliances to happen again. And for us all to learn how to fight back. #Pagans and #witches (and anyone #NonChristian) have targets on our backs as much as everyone else. We need to fight for #MotherEarth. All of us!!!

"From the feminist self-expression of witchcraft to the conspirituality fuelling QAnon, neo-pagan-inflected thinking seemingly offers agency and insight into what social theorist Theodor Adorno called any 'consciousness famished for truth.'”
Our thoughtful new reading list from Sam Firman considers how the rise of paganism reflects modern life:

The Scottish #Pagan Federation unveils a new #tartan
By Manny Moreno | February 24, 2021
EDINBURGH – "The Scottish Pagan Federation (#SPF) has announced its official tartan to coincide with its 50th-anniversary celebration.
"The Federation was founded in 1971, with Scotland becoming a specific district in the early 1990s and becoming an independent organization in 2006. The SPF welcomes members from all #Pagans traditions.
"The Federation’s 100% wool tartan has now been officially registered with the Scottish Federation of Tartans in Edinburgh, a process that can take months to years between creation, research, and final application. The idea of a specifically Scottish Pagan tartan was originally conceived towards the end of 2019 and was born from SPF’s active role in an interfaith discussion where it was observed that other faith communities were launching their own tartans (for example, a Scottish Muslim tartan)."

‘Ex-Pagan Pagans’? Paul, Philo, and Gentile Ethnic Reconfiguration
“I argue that, similar to Philo’s proselyte inclusion strategy, Paul incorporates Gentiles-in-Christ into ethnic Israel. As Abraham’s ‘offspring’, Paul suggests that his addressees not only gain membership in Israel’s covenant on account of Israel’s messiah, but that they also acquire a new ethnic identity despite that their prior identities as ‘the Gentiles’ are not erased.”
