Blood sacrifice is sex magick without the fun.

There are two kinds of Wiccans in America: those who owe their religion to the 1960's "counterculture", and those who don't. (The second group is somewhat smaller than the first.)

Bad invocations, like bad poems, are often the most deeply felt.

A ouija board is a waste of money if it doesn't work — and a waste of time if it does.

While nothing is truly unwelcome at a Sabbat feast, it's a safe bet to leave the Twinkies, Chee-tos, and Hi-C fruit punch at home.

When witchcraft is outlawed, only outlaws will ride brooms.

The words of the Magus (aka the Witch's Pyramid) are to know, to will, to dare, and one other I could remember if everyone would shut up a moment.

The most radical notion in Wicca is that religion can be fun.

Those whom the Goddess wishes to destroy, She first makes computer system operators.

Wiccans and Jehovah's Witlesses really agree on a lot of things — they only feel differently about them.

Q. What is the difference between "nature spirituality" and "Witchcraft"?
A. Who wants to know?

Death is Nature's way of telling a Wiccan to turn off the computer.

Crystals are the Earth's way of telling you you're making too much money.

True gods were never meant to be worshipped, only absorbed.

Killing a covener who accidentally knocks over the incense bowl — thereby spilling twenty-five dollars worth of lignum aloes into the carpet — is not a good idea, however understandable.

There is more black magic in one day on Wall Street than in ten years of Wiccan Sabbats.

Never expect a police officer to understand the ritual nature of your athame.

"As above, so below", they tell us. Then why do our Gods look so much cooler than we do?

Interesting Fact: Three of the four Greater Sabbats fall at the beginning of a network "sweeps" month.

Saying that Aleister Crowley wrote the Gardnerian Book of Shadows is like saying professional wrestling is rigged — what's the point?

If the Pope excommunicated the way some High Priestesses banish, there'd be a major housing shortage in hell.

There are no "good" or "evil" witches, only those you can't afford to ignore.

Never forget that there are genuinely good Christian people in the world, and that their religion may have something to do with it.

Please refrain from snickering at the Priestess during the Gnostic Mass. That butt on the altar may one day be yours.
