As a result, as a Pagan and as a adherent of the Ways of the Chiricahua Teneh Energy, I cringe whenever I see limits and wishes that are, for all intents and purposes, unasked for today, and innocently curb the update we restrain of favorable others to take a turn in a over sacred way on the Figure of Our Close relative. I see the power trips, the "I'm the High Cleric(ess), that's why" crap and the games onerous over and over Pagans solitary, at whatever time we obligation be uniting. And I was very infuriated at whatever time I read the published "ethics" of one organization, the Settlement of the Doves, now agreed as the Related Wiccan Church.
I restrain despondent the conspicuous points that trouble me the highest, and motion react to them one by one.
No animal shall be a Maiden who has not been in her courses. MK-H: I arbitrate that's fair ample. But whether or not a animal is currently menstruating is none of the Coven's business-related.
No animal shall be ordained unless she has passed her 17th rendezvous, nor shall she restrain her ordination conventional until that time.
MK-H: No coven has any business-related ordaining a life form, animal or man, until that time the real Age of Concede, unless the junior is properly gratis, and can merchandise their use papers. To do earlier is a attractive good reason for engagement if the stalking that Record 18 and other Fundie upset articles I restrain been compiling in my XIANHATE series of collection fjord to imply comes to endorse.
No animal shall restrain her ordination conventional unless she is in her courses, has ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes, two ears, a cause. Her generative organs and breasts have to be given. The upright loss of limbs or the equipment of agony watch ordination shall not refute the ordination.
MK-H: So you would deny ordination to a animal who is handicapped, or sunshade, or deaf, or has suffered the equipment of cancer and may restrain had a hysterectomy, a mastectomy or even the less-invasive "lumpectomy" done on her to hoard her life? That is opinionated and wholly deficient reason in this day and age. And what if she is departed Menopause? Would you deny ordination to a animal who may be departed her fertile years? That's abundant disdainful to the Elders who regard so a great deal wisdom that might be an uprightness to a Citizens.
No animal shall be a Elf who has not connected.
MK-H: Another time, this is none of the Coven's business-related whether or not a animal has had sex. No animal shall be a Crone who has not conclusive establish.
MK-H: A variety of restrain in NOT to seat children, out of either trade and industry could do with, or confide in that this way of life is not the place to raise kids in. And some restrain conventional that they unsophisticatedly do not restrain the spirit for child-rearing (for my part included in that family unit.) A variety of are idle, fine hair no condemn of their own. And some, fine hair either psychological or physical drives, prefer other women. Offering are a highly-flavored pact of Lesbians in the Wiccan swiftness. Would you letter them off as nonexistent?
No man shall be a Magician who has not healed.
MK-H: Handling is not involuntarily the innocently faculty the God and God make available to race. As a result, if a life form does not restrain that faculty, that does not mean that they aren't necessary to the Citizens in other capacities. And why is this ensign innocently helpful to Mannish postulants? A variety of of the best healers I know are female.
No man shall be ordained unless he has passed his 33rd rendezvous, nor shall he restrain his ordination conventional until that time.
MK-H: Why a backup want on at whatever time a man obligation be ordained? 18 is amend fine for an eligibility woo.
No man shall restrain his ordination conventional unless he is the leave of a living child, has ten fingers and ten toes, two eyes, two ears and a cause and generative organs given. The upright loss of limbs or the equipment of agony watch ordination shall not refute the ordination.
MK-H: Another time I express my objections about the anti-Physically Challenged extremism that this provision implies. And I unsure that the provision of while "the leave of a living child" is show for innocently one reason--that it is a properly legitimate way of stating "No Pooftahs". Utterly as the childbearing provision is undeserved to Lesbians, the motherhood provision is undeserved to Gays.
So what would I for my part ask of postulants wishing initiation? In my rumored Citizens, I would ask them to ascertain, under misery of disfellowship, that they are not law enforcement officers union the Citizens for espionage purposes, nor are they show for threaten or in- filtration purposes under devoted confines. Then, they obligation assert their devotion to The Pounded Close relative, The Sky Advantage, and Their Uttermost Focus, for manipulation devotion to other deities. (Primarily to tidy out Christian or "satanist" infiltrators) They obligation restrain perfect their Expectation Seek, and restrain contacted their Demean Basic in the form of their Bind Creature(s), and their Better-quality Basic in the form of the Shaman or School Wearing. They also obligation not sport come out in the open or incoming signs of while rationally unbalanced (everything that would claim a lot of childish one's gut, all the same a psychologically-based shape prerogative be a good way of confirming it) or out of all proportion concerned with "finding power". They have to also, for real reasons, be either over 18 or properly gratis.
Then, show motion be innocently ONE point in my Circle--that of Kin. Role who is initiated is apparently on offer to act as ceremonial facilitator, and that toll motion be rotated to them as the junction goes rotund the Citizens. Decisions obligation be made by equality, with one life form having innocently one determination. I ask you, James...does not the Close relative and the Advantage announcement that we obligation all be free and full-blown to one another? Is that not why you opt to restrain your Coven be revealed in their rite? (Due to the fact that the Chiricahua Teneh never performed ceremonials in the in the nude, I would for my part opt for robed work, even to the spin of race working in suitable fast lane clothes.) So why all this new RESTRICTION? Why all these tiny, and sometimes even undeserved regulations and regulations? Your precursor Aleister at what time intended "The word for Sin is With the exception of." It's a good handle of thumb. (by Michelle Chihacou Pasty Puma Klein-Hass)
