To call every Wiccan a 'priest' is to render the term
meaningless. It is a foolish and deceptive practice.
Wicca claims to be the reincarnation of the Old Religion but it
most certainly is not.
Only the New Religions have gods and goddesses, and priests and
priestesses (which are supposedly much more knowledgable than
ordinary people and in close contact with the supposed gods and
goddesses and can intervene with them on behalf of ordinary
people). Only the New Religions assign magickal/creative power to
supernatural beings exterior to the Self. Only the New Religions
worship.
Gerald Gardner didn't know anything about the Old Religion. He
knew a little about a religion that was older than Christianity,
but so is Judaism, by thousands of years.

The "Old Religion" wasn't even a religion. During that period of
humanity's history, religion and science and culture were one and
the same thing.
People knew they were magickal beings living in a magickal
universe, just as young children still know that today (as well
as certain tiny cultures isolated from this one).
They knew that they created their own realities with their
beliefs/spells, individually and jointly, in cooperation with
the rest of Nature. They knew that their existences, and the
existence of everything, were Blessed. That all beings were
Innocent. They knew that they were spiritual beings having and
earthly experience. That Nature was supernatural. They did not
worship anything, because worship is giving your power and worth
away to something else.
Wicca as stands is an artificial _New_ Religion, not the 'Old
Religion' reincarnated.

I'll tell you who is a true idiot...the engineer who decided the memory
chip access panel on Mac computers should be fastened with #1 Phillips
screws. Damn things are almost sub-atomic in size.

You need a proper American/German/Chinese set like your counterpart in
Seattle... You know, a little plastic box with fancy colors.. or
colours as our resident panty waste would say...;)

This joint is filled with useless trolls like JustHate, Loogy, Herring,
DK, et cetera. You think crossposters are a lower life form? At least
some of them can write complete sentences, eh?

I take it that it is very important to you for one to write complete
sentences or questions?

I think it important that one be able to use the mother tongue
correctly. I also find nothing wrong with relaxing the rules and being
informal. ..."

Then, I take it that you really have no complaint with posters who
happen to use half or at least, non-complete sentances?

I've got a full set of precision engineered and manufactured German mini
screwdrivers. A #1 Phillips is in the set. That doesn't mean I enjoy
working with "watchmaker" tools.

*From what I have seen of your handiwork, you use your snaggly front
teeth to remove Phillips screws. Or a cutting torch.

BWAAAAHAAAAAA!!!!! HOW is a damned screwdriver "precsion
engineered"???!!!!
That's about the funniest thing I've heard Harry lie about!
