Glastonbury is the most magickal place in England, it holds the legends of Avalon, and holds a energy line through it. It has many pagan shops and workshops and is amazing place. I picked up this months spirit and destiny to find the most horrible story about the Pagans of this place being assaulted. I love Glastonbury and go their alot, this really upset me. Here is the article:
Glastonbury pagans recently found themselves under attack by a group of Catholic pilgrims to the somerset town. Local pagans were pelted with salt and branded witches who would "burn in hell" during a procession as part of a festival organised by Youth 2000, a conservative Catholic charity for believers aged 16-35. Although Youth 2000 did not condone their behaviour, militants at the event claimed they were 'cleansing Glastonbury of paganism' and threatened to set fire to The Magick Box, one of the countless shops selling estoeric paraphernallia in the high street of Britains mystical capital. Local witches have been casting spells of protection and the towns preist has told these fellow Catholics their no longer welcome in the town

I've seen this! Where did I see it? It was on myspace....one of the groups....Not sure where. This shows the relation to the witch hunts today from yesteryear. They still exist. Even with 'conservative' people, this can happen. We fear that which we do not understand. Fear can manifest itself into many beasts.

The problem is that there always one person like that in all walks of life. Why? I'm not sure. Up bringing....maybe they weren't exposed to anything new or different....Who knows? The fact is that it is very real & would still pose a problem. Remember, USA has a place they call the Bible Belt. It roughly spans from Virginia out to Ohio & down to Florida. All those states have people that think like that. It's really sad & bothers me because they won't allow even small changes. Many Pagans from those areas REALLY have to hide it.

Witches are supposed to be burned by the salt. Personally I like a good bath salt soak! Oh and we're not supposed to be able to swim. The boogers got me there, I sink like a stone! No religious intolerence crosses all boundries. Children learn alot from their parents behavior. I taught my children tolerence, now if they continue to be tolerant I'll be proud.>^..^<

I think they went to Glastonbury because hundreds of Pagans live their and they were attempting to "Cleanse Glastonbury of paganism" It is crazy!

Because, We're going to corrupt the innocent and lead them to damnation! Our Idolotry is an affort to Christ and his father. It doesn't matter they break all other commandments, as long as they are saved and have Jesus in their Hearts. If I was Jesus, I'd get the hell out of those hearts quick!!! >^-.-^< PS One of my favorite sayings is; Christian- Have you found Christ? Me the Pagan- I didn't know he was lost!
