		<description>Sorry, have to put my .02 cents in....

THESE ARE HER WEBSITES.  What part of that do you not understand?  Because she paid for the domain, the hosting, the development of these 2 sites, she is more than welcome to link between the two.

Now, if you somehow managed to hack into my spiritual blog, holy hell would I unleash something upon you.  That is not your site, you did not pay for it, you do not maintain it or have anything to do with it.

And someone casting a spell against someone, does not mean that the target is associated with Satan.  In the terms of the Inquisition, it means someone associated with Satan is targeting the target.  Get your logic straight, please.</description>

		<description>She's not doing this to piss people off.  In fact, one truly Irish quality, is the ability to absorb various things and meld them into something that works (The Irish Church is a great example of this).

And forcing?  How is she forcing anyone to do anything?  It's a website, navigate away.  It's not like she has a cosmic gun to your head, making you read every single keystroke she types.  The one thing, that even I complain about, with the pagan community, is the baggage at which they arrive to the path.  That baggage is very anti-Christian, Jews get a free pass by virtue of Kabbalism.  I got to the point where I tend to not attend pagan events because of that baggage.  It's highly distasteful and distracts from the growth of the individual.  I'm pagan and I support Selkie's decision to seek a different path.  In fact, if Druidism didn't exist, I'd have probably converted to Anglicism or Episcopalian.</description>

		<description>Tsk, tsk.  Gotta love semantics.  Particularly, when one displays obvious ignorance of said religion.</description>

		<description>Honey a couple of my favorite people in the world are Christians. You're doing just fine. Follow your heart, follow where it leads you. 

I havent seen you once say it's wrong not to be Christian, only that at this point in your life it is right for *YOU* to convert to that faith</description>

		<description>Wow. I'm floored. Why do you care so much what religion someone else follows? 

As someone who was raised as witch, I have to say you sound an awful lot like someone who converted from Christianity and brought a whole ton o'baggage with her she never put down.

Some Christians are bigoted asshats. So are some witches. Their spiritual/religious/magical paths have zip to do with that.</description>

		<description>uh... ok. riiiight.

well, anyways, thanks for filling in those gaps, selkie. didn't know what to make of robyn's post there. 

speaking of the problem of acting on impulse thoughtlessly - on my side, my first was to be offended, altho i couldn't exactly figure out what was going on. reading her further emails/posts, my second was to laugh mockingly and the third to explain where robyn's various individual points were philosophically incorrect. all completely wrong, besides the point, and not in the slightest use to robyn.

robyn: it's not religion. it's not history. it's not other people. it's you, girl, it's you.</description>

		<description>I don't get what your major maladjustment is.

I've known Selchie for over 10 years and travelled in the same occult circles with her.  She walks her walk, with the highest integrity. 

She's changed her spiritual path - so whats that to you?  She has my support, and the support of all who have known her.  I can't grok why a veritable stranger has such a stake in her conversion.

Selch has always shared her journey online - why would now be any different?</description>

		<description>Yes... and I hope you find peace in yourself too... and a decent relationship! I have peace... I know exactly what i want and do not battle with myself or choose sneaky ways to constantly reaffirm it. I hope that one day, you can too.</description>

		<description>lie to myself? actually, I've never been more honest with myself.

I'm sorry if you don't understand my reasonings for why I do my websites this way; I've tried to explain it as clearly as I can. You can have issues with it if you want, but I'm still not going to change it. They're my websites, I created them, I can do with them as I wish. Considering both HeartsEase and Prodigal Pagan are my sites, it can hardly be said that I'm *invading* a pagan site, lol. And like I said - it's not like I don't have a link to the Heartsease site on my blog.

Actually I've only had you and another pagan who showed any kind of hostility towards me and my beliefs. You seem very angry to me, but at least you can type in complete sentences! Most pagans who are redirected to my blog, either read a few pages, or just go straight to the Heartsease site.  

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make with this whole "Satan" arguement, you're making assumptions about me that simply aren't true. You seem to have a very poor opinion of Christians - most Christians I know, do not pass judgement on others. I try not to, either; I've certainly been where you are now. You believe what you believe for a reason, as did I. People change, grow; I certainly did, and my path lead me back to Christ. I praise God for it everyday. I've never felt so much peace and joy before. Is it always easy? Heck no - but then, that's what my blog is for.

It's a shame that you're lumping all Christians together into some kind of negative stereotype, instead of getting to know me. I think I have explained what my motives are, in my responses to you and all through my blog. You just don't like what my motives are, and that's fine. You don't have to. I'm not here to please everyone.

However. I don't think there is much more we can add to this discussion Robyn, without it being a negative thing for both of us. So I will just bid you peace.

Peace, Robyn.</description>

		<description>right... man... just watching you lie to yourself, that's all. Who said I was trying to get you to come back? I just have issues with you using your pagan website as a lure to lure people into see your blog, but I see you still have baggage that you MUST air.  Really though, you must get this often, since you put yourself 'in harms way' as they say... like if I invaded a Christian site with my pagan site... they'd love that too! I can see you're really in it for selfless reasons! :o) 
Have you talked with your local parson about this need?  You know, associating with us exposes you to SATAN! In fact, if I go cast a spell against you, you will be even more associated with SATAN! And this is what your church teaches, will you deny that witches are of satan? and if not, can I tell this to your local pastor or whatever ? OR are you the kind of Christian who doesn't go to church... just wondering... never seen anyone do the things you are doing. It's why I wonder at your motives.</description>
