Merry Meet....reviewed your site promoting your book. Interesting comment in chapter one...."Christians have taken over Easter & Christmas, why not Halloween?"
The way I see it, Christians are still paying homage to the earth religions, glorifying these pagan celebrations. I have no problem with this. While we had to remain in the "broom closet," Christianity gave us an outlet for our holidays. They never took over, they allowed the earth religions to continue their worship under the clout of Christianity.
However, we now enter the age of the Goddess awakening. Halloween is the highest holiday of the year for pagans/witches and you pay us no greater honor than to incorporate it into Christianity. I for one, wish you much success with your book.
I hope that your studies lead you to find out more about who we really are and what our faith is all about. We do not worship Satan for we do not believe that he exists. We believe that Satan is a god created by Christianity so as to pass the blame for personal acts on to external forces.
Pagans/witches take responsibility for our own actions. We follow the rule of three: what we dish out returns to us threefold.
Love is the law of the universe for us. So I send to you light and love....
Blessed Be....SnowRaven

Merry Meet again Louis

I was surprised to see my letter posted to your site.  
Something I need to clear up:  I am a Witch and I am Pagan, but I am not
Wiccan.
Not all Pagans are Witches and not all Witches are Wiccan.  But all Wiccans
are Pagan/Witches.

Just because you are Christian does not mean you are Catholic.  See?

Thank you and let love and light lead the way in your life.
