Walking on Water
As part of an Interfaith community project, A right wing Christian priest, a rabbi, and a Pagan priestess decided that in order to improve relations in the community, they will go on a fishing trip together on a local pond.
They're out in the boat, and the Pagan priestess excuses herself to go to the bathroom back on the shore. She gets out, walks across the water back to shore, and then walks back across the water to the boat.
The Christian priest looks in amazement, crosses himself, and they continue fishing.
It comes on about noon time, and the rabbi realizes they left their lunches back on shore. So he gets up, walks across the water to the shore, retrieves the lunches, and walks back across the water to the boat.
The Christian priest, now completely amazed, and a little bit righteous, thinks, "not to be outdone by two heathens, I can do that too!!" So he gets up, excuses himself to go to the bathroom, takes a step out of the boat and promptly sinks to the bottom.
While he's flailing around in the water, the rabbi looks at the priestess and says:
"Do you think we should have told him about the rocks?"
The Pagan priestess replies:
"What rocks?"

Footprints
I dreamed that I was walking down the beach with the Goddess. And I looked back and saw footprints in the sand.
But sometimes there were two pairs of footprints, and sometimes there was only one. And the times when there were only one pair of footprints, those were my times of greatest trouble.
So I asked the Goddess. "why, in my greatess need, did you abandon me?"
She replied, "I never left you. You those were the times when we both hopped on one foot." And lo, I was really embarressed for bothering her with such a stupid question.

A Letter From A 3rd Grade Teacher Sent Home To Pagan Parents
By Ld Obyron Irondrake
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
I write this letter in concern of your daugther, Aradia Moon. Please don't take this the wrong way;however, although she is a straight 'A' student and a very bright child, she has some strange habits that I feel we should address.
Every morning before class, she insists on walking around the classroom with her pencil held in the air. She says she is "drawing down the moon." I told her Art class is in an hour and to please refrain from then to do any drawing.
An speaking of Art class, whenever she draws a night sky, she insists on drawing little circles around all the stars and peolple dancing on the ground.
And that brings up dancing; I had to stop her twice for taking off her clothes during a game of Ring around the Rose!
By the way, what does the term "skyclad" mean?
Aradia has no problem with making friends. I always find her sitting outside during recess with her friends sitting around her in a circle. She likes to share her juice and cookies. It is nice how she wants no one to ever thrist or hunger.
However, when I walked over to see what they were doing, she jumped up and told me to stop, pulled out a little plastic knife and starting waving it in front of me. I thought this was a bit dangerous, so I took her to the Principle's Office.
She explainged to the Principle that she was "opening the circle" to let me in. She also explained that her Mommy and Daddy always told her not to play or run with an "athame" in her hand, that she could poke someones eye out.
I don't know what an "athame" is, but I am glad that she keeps it at home.
As for stories, your daughter tends to make up some whoppers. Just yesterday while I was talking sternley to Tommy Johnson and shaking my finger at him, he started screaming and ran from the room. When I finally caught him, he told me that Aradia told him and the rest of the class that the last time I shook my finger at someone, they caught the chicken pox. I explained to him that the Sally Jones incident was just coincidence and things like that don't really happan.
One of the strangest things that happend was when I asked the children to bring in Halloween decorations for the classroom. Aradia brought in some salt, incense and her family album. I see she has quite a sense of humour.
One of Aradia's worst habbits is that she is very argumentative. We were discussing what the Golden Rule was (Do Unto Others as you would have them Do Unto You), she firmly disagreed with me and stated it was "Do As You Will, but Harm None"and she won't stop syaing "So Mote It Be" after she reads aloud in class. I try to correct her on these matters and she got very angry. She pointed her finger at me and mumbled something under her breath.
In closing, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, I would like to set up a parent/teacher conference with you sometime next week to discuss these matters. I would like to see you sooner, but I have developed an irritating rash that I am quite worried about.
With Deep Concerns,
Mrs. Livingston
P. S. Blessed Be. I understand that this is a greeting or closing from your country that your daughter informs me is polite and correct.
Pagan In Hell
(Author Unknown)
A good, clean living Pagan died and went to Heaven. St. Peter met him at the gate. "You can't come in here," Peter said.
The pagan asked why.
"you're Pagan... Sorry. But Hell isn't so bad. Your friends are there, and they say it's cool."
Th Pagan is depressed but goes anyway, because he was, well Pagan.
So he goes to Hell and is greeted by a beautiful green field with people picnicking and having a great time. A man in a white suit comes over to him and presents himself as Satan, and the Devil tells him of all the delights in what appears to be a 5 star resort.
"Wow!" thinks the Pagan. "Hell isn't so bad! I'm happy to be here."
Suddenly, the sky gets black and fire spews from the ground. A screaming, flaming man falls from the sky and is swallowed by a crack in the Earth.
After he disappears, everything returns to normal.
"What the heck was that?!" the Pagan asks Satan.
Satan replies, "That was a Christian. They wouldn't have Hell any other way!"
For Newbie's: What this joke calls Hell, we call the Summerland, and Pagans don't believe in Satan. But this joke is still pretty funny.
Why M&M's Are Wiccan:
*MM = Merry Meet
*Round shape for wheel of the year, cycle of seasons
*Skins are different colours, but the inside is the same chocolate, because we are all related.
*Associateds with the colours: Red = South, Green = West, Dark Brown = North, Yellow = East, Orange = For the Solar God Light, Brown = For the Earth Mother (Copper Woman)
*Rotate M&M
M = 13th letter of the alphabet, and there are 13 witches in a coven.
3 = Triple Goddess, Three phases of the Moon.
W = Witchcraft, Wiccan
E = Enlightment, Enchanment of chocolate
*"Melt in your mouth, not in your hand"--God/dess's love must be experienced directly to appreciate. Also God/dess will take care of you.
*Sweetness to remind us of how sweet the love of the God and Godess is!
