Hey, Nanaea.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa. I hadn't gotten around to *cornering* my teacher until late last Wednesday, and she concurred with your statement concerning satanists. I finally got a chance to log on (for a paper I need to do for Wicca class :D) I was assigned to do a paper on jewitches, so I thought I'd drop the other info off while I'm at it.

So, they've got you doing a paper on Jewitches now? I'm wondering if your instructor will be covering Christo-pagans next. :)
But I can dig the Jewitch concept. Because there's an inordinate emphasis placed on things Celtic in the Wiccan religions, and not all of us are Irish. Some of us prefer blintzes 'n' Manischewitz to cakes 'n' ale. ;)

If you are interested (or if anybody else is), there is a cool website run by a bonafide jewitch. The address for it is http://www.bbzzz.com. You might find it kinda interesting, especially since you might be able to link with other jewitch sites.
I think you're gonna have to exit this site since I haven't got the hang of underlining e-mail. Sorry. :(

"Blessed Bees"?
I checked out the website, and Melissa Oringer is a genuine witch, all right. Cool sense of humor and the abstract. :)
Interesting that she says she's not quite sure why she associates the goddess Shabbat with the honeybee, except for perhaps the traditon of eating apples dipped in honey at Rosh Hashona. I wonder if Melissa realizes that her name means "honeybee"?
Also liked her description of the Horned One: "He's the beasts and the life and the swirling energy that is free and wild." Very apt prose.

Wow, and thanks for the comments. This is what happens when a friend of mine runs a Google search on my name - he forwards me a post about my site :)
In answer to you question: yes, I know "Melissa" translates into "honeybee" in Greek, thus the name of my personal site. Melissa, one of two daughters of King Melisseus, the other being Amalthea. Amalthea ("goat") is said in some stories to have suckled Zeus.
My comment about honeybees and Shabbat is because the association is purely intuitive on my part, based on trancework on such. There's nothing (that I'm aware of) to verify such an association.
For those interested in Jewitchery, I've gone live quite recently with a new site focused on the topic: http://www.jewitchery.com. If you have thoughts, essays, articles, book recommendations and/or links to contribute, please drop me an e-mail :)
And thanks again!

Hmmm... I wonder if I would be a SAM -- Satanic American Magistra. :)

As long as you aren't a SAP --Satanic American Pervert -- who needs to be *saved*. Ran into a bunch on my way to school and told them that I was saved from "The Guiding Light", "General Hospital", "One Life To Live", etc.
Strange, these *elders* didn't seem older than twenty or twenty five. I won't see that side of thirty again.

Hahahahaha! Loved it! :)
Those so-called "elders" who got in your face are "elders" because they are OLD. Doesn't matter if they're 20 or 25 -- it's their mentality that make's them OLD.
I've know people who describe themselves as being "old" in chronological terms, but they are by no means OLD. They're bright, vibrant, witty, challenging and highly entertaining. That ain't OLD by my definition. :)
Heheh. Daividh here sometimes makes references to himself as being "old" -- but he ain't OLD by any means, either. :)
And, you already know what I think of PriaposLovs -- he rocks.
You're exceptionally cool too, Phyllis. :)

Go raibh maith agat (thank you). (Picture doffed hat and graceful bow ala Three Musketeers).
I was thinking of you guys (the Anagram Caballeros) while doing my Wicca homework (reading, of course). Too bad you guys can't take this class, too. It rocks, too.
I try not to think or act "old" but there are some times that it's impossible. I hope I'm still rockin' when I'm in my late eighties.
