Have you read Margaret Alice Murray's theories on him?
I never have either. But some think that when Christianity tried to take hold with the Pagans, they "satanized" their God somehow. Kinda strange that he (satan) has Horns. Satan (as is) is completely fictional, a Boogyman, to scare Children, nothing more. Yeah, the red Suit with Tail and the Pitchfork are way over-the-top, kinda silly, really. lol

No, I never read that Book.

Then again, the Christian church clergy (especially the Catholics) were big on playing on both our sabbats and our beliefs in order to attempt to build their fold, nay?
True.

Quote:
Think about the sabbats, and then think about "Christian" holidays:

First (and yes EMan ours predated yours) there was:

Yule...and gee whiz, how convenient that Jesus was born around same date! Viola! Christmas! Puleaseeee.
Winter is Winter, even where Jesus was born, supposedly in December. Animals don't have Babies in the dead of Winter, because the chance of their survival is pretty much nil. I'm referring to the baby animals in the Manger.

Quote:
Next we have ...

Ostara...they copped it for Easter. (Another convenient time slot to suck in pagans utilizing their feast days of celebration.)
Ya.

The rather creepy looking Easter Bunny of the Christians roots in: The Hare = The Great Mother= Fertility.

The Egg = Fertility.


Quote:
And of course Samhain...which many good little Christian children celebrate as Halloween.
Well this one is my absolutely favorite Holiday! I just love the way the Babtist freak out and cry: "This is a Devil Worship Celebration!"

But seriously, I love to set the Table for us the living and my loved ones, who have passed on. And I also love that time of Year.

Quote:
It makes a good lil pagan want to sue their church, lmao.
Yeah...if they would just care to take a good look at History, they would surely notice, that their Holidays are superimposed upon an already existing ancient Belief System.
