Hail and Welcome!

I have been an active member of the pagan community for 20 years, and before that I spent another good ten years ruminating in the broom closet, that is learning and contemplating the “Craft”.  In fact I was of the generation of the teenage witches in the 90’s that largely became witches or learned about witchcraft from the movie the Craft.  Go ahead groan lol, that wasn’t my only source I assure you, I spent the time since I was six learning about ancient mythology, and watching that HBO movie in the mid 80’s about witched (NOT witches of Eastwick, but I can’t remember the name). So when I was approached by my highschool’s resident witches, they found fertile ground.

My point is that I am by no means a noob in these circles and I later went on to earn a bachelor’s in religion and philosophy, and be a minister for almost a decade before I retired myself to a semi-monastic life.  I even served in the Wisconsin state prisons for a time.  That is, until I was ganged up on by Christian conservatives within the DOC and suspended on grossly exaggerating and misleading grounds…much the same way they did Jamyi Witch.  This is after a lifetime of persecution in the town I live in, in large because of my pagan beliefs.  You should hear what I have heard about myself (apparently I suck 10% of the life force out of every man I sleep with to stay so young looking…)…and you can laugh but that same ignorance and bigotry has cost me jobs, and dare I say trying to confront that religious hypocrisy has all but lead to a lynch mob trying to shut me up and bring me down and drive me off anyway they can.

But these troubles are not just my own, and I’m sure most of my pagan readers would be able to share similar stories of harassment and persecution, done by the very group of people who like to pretend they’re victims anytime anyone persecutes them back…  Enter in MAGA…

Now I’m not Republican or Democrat, to me it’s same shit different pile, nor am I communist or fascist.  I am a Taoist hermit in that department, and like those great ancient sages I absolutely realize all of that is a zero sum argument, no one wins in either scenario and it’s best just to steer clear of the whole works lest it drain you of your life essence…which it absolutely does.  Modern science knows stress kills..but I digress.  My point is I’m not going to express an opinion for or against, merely point out one crucial fact…

They hate us.  They want us dead and they outnumber us 100 to 1.  Those who believe the burning times are done haven’t spent any time watching these people and what they really want to do.  They want to make the United states a Christian nation, and are willing to use force to do so.  Just yesterday president Trump signed and executive order directing to federal agencies to go after “anti-christian” groups and individuals.  Given they think we are in league with Satan, it’s not too far a stretch to put two and two together

I have seen this coming for years.  And like Cassandra of the Trojan war my local pagans have paid no need to my warnings.  Indeed much of the greater pagan community at large started to become somewhat commercialized as it became popularized, and that’s how we get idiots trying to hex the moon (really guys?).  And again, you can laugh, but people don’t realize is that we are absolutely being watched, by everyone who doesn’t know what a pagan is, and takes whatever example they encounter as emblematic of the whole, whether it is or not.  Not that I think we can ever truly convince the Christians to chill tf out about us completely.  No, we represent legitimate spiritual competition, even our enemies acknowledge that, and have for 2000 years.  Out numbers increased as theirs declined…and believe me they’ve noticed, and being better organized than us, you better believe they have strategized their way out of that one, they have been brilliant at it for 1700 years, that’s why our ancestors got burned in the first place….they were individual witches and covens, not the highly organized juggernaut the Roman empire, excuse me I meant the Roman Catholic church is

And don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with Jesus, or a true Christian, I really don’t, I go to mass sometimes, I have the immaculate heart of Mary tattooed on my back and I have prayed to mother Mary and prayed her rosary in total honest faith.  I see the Goddess in her.  But these Christians who want to kill us are not Christians.  They are heretics.  They same meglomaniacal heretic that brought you the Spanish inquisition, smallpox blankets and entire villages rounded up and burned for the crime of heresy (cathars anyone?)

And welp, these lunatics, are in fact running th asylum right now.  First it’s the Mexicans, then it’s the homeless….we are going to be next if we don’t learn some military strategy and organize.  To that end I have restarted this website and would like to speak with other elders in the pagan community as to how we can address this very real existential threat.  I will not be intimidated and I did not swear by my blood to serve the Lord & Lady, all of Nature and all that is holy to let some murderous hypocrites destroy it all.  Please email me at alchemistdruid@gmail.com if you recognize the same threat and would like to discuss.  It is my intent to organize a defense for all of us.

Sincerely,

Rev. Debra Weiss
