Back before I got my first domain (which is also no longer on the web) I had a site on geocities. That website was called "Castle Hawes" because it's first function was for an RPG where I was LadyMacLane. I stumbled upon a pagan chat room in yahoo called PaganLake while using that name and well, that name is what I was known as in there and outlived the RPG. The site then became yet another Wicca 101 site as well as my personal site. Then one of my chat buds got upset about a book by Silver RavenWolf being held up in a local news broadcast about satanism. The site then also house a wiccan awareness section. Soon after that, I discovered the PWA and that this wonderful pagan owned hosting company called DrakNet was giving away free and totally ad free space. So I moved away from geocities.
I created a website there for wiccan awareness and on the opening page I had some quotes. One of them was this, "Open minds learn many things that closed minds never hear." ~Gwendalyn Wolfrose April 1, 1999 (yep, I said that). I used the Way Back Machine today to go look that up and it got me to thinking. It takes an open mind to think of Wicca as being something other than Satan worship, only a closed minded person would accuse a Wiccan of worshiping Satan because an open minded person would be open to the idea that there is religion outside of the Judeo/Christian belief system that does not involve their "bad guy".
My point being that any one who would accuse me of being a satanist is a very closed minded person and should not claim to be otherwise.
