    ( Tuesday, August 29, 2006 )

    Those of you who know me pretty well, know that I’m well-versed in the fine and immortal art of calling people out on complete bullshit. These past few months though, I’ve been operating under the radar, which means I’ve really been holding my tongue. But Im back, and this post is probably going to (once more) get me cursed or hexed or whatever it is that witches do to people nowadays. Its a classic for me to be the target of a wiccan obssesion, specially since as part of the occultural scene in Buenos Aires, I have to deal from time to time with second rate mini cults, composed of a breed mix between Harry Potter and Marilyn Mason.
    This time around, the debate began on Saturday while dining at a friend´s house, and a couple came along. Here's my description of them:
    Moron #1 aka “Look-at-the-big-pentacle-around-my-neck”
    - Has the physical body of Satan and the horns to match, he is a cop by day, and who knows what on full moon. He loves his Hitler musstache and to talk about magic as a way of flirting with the white haired wiccan bitch.
    Mansonite grupie # 1 aka “White haired wiccan bitch”
    - Hates the fact that she has a boyfriend and finds a way to get rid of him whenever the goddess gives her the evil eye.
    This two, not even for a second knew who I was, so after a few minutes, they started to speak about the occult, the real magick, and of course, about how great they where at such an devilish endevours. To this point I was calm, and ready to “let it be”, untill the girl started to talk about how “modern day pagans are trying to peaceably practice their faith in a culture that doesn’t understand them.”
    I have absolutely zero tolerance for this whiny pathetic approach to religion. That was the end of the zazen state. What the fuck do you care if nobody understand you? And second of all, being a “kitchen witch” or wearing a pentagram necklace doesn’t make of anyone some kind of deep fucking philosopher who none of us could ever possibly plumb the depths of.

    They also talk about what it would require to change the stereotypes of pagans in culture: “People don’t know it is a religion, but I don’t hide it. I wear my pentacle all the time… Slowly we are making progress, but It would take more pagans to become news reporters and to get involved in power…” the cop said.
    Wow! What amazing progress! as long as they keep on relying on reporters and politicians, I’m sure the inquisition will be unemployed. This type of weak-willed fishy “adherence” to a belief drives me totally insane, they pretend to be some kind of activist, but at the same time they just want to sit at home and thumb through a cheesy stereotyped watered-down bookstore version of a religion. You bought a necklace! Now you have a religion! It’s as simple as that! Congratulations! And it’s so very brave “not to hide” your religion like that. What a bold revolutionary statement! I’m surprised they don’t lock him up to destroy the revolution!
    Finally, to finish it all, the white head told me “We are tired of being called rebellious or devil worshippers because too many people start to throw all these things at you about going to hell. I prefer to not deal with the negativity.”
    Jajajaja! So you don’t want to be seen as rebellious, but you are rebelling against something (namely, Christianity, and dominant mythos), and your favourite artist calls himself the ANTIchrist… OH THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! They have such an original and complex pantheon to worship…
    And what is that new age thing about not wanting to deal with negativity? I can tell you. The plan is basically to paint our arses in violet and basically throw out completely at least half of human experience and feeling to the bathroom- just cause it makes you uncomfortable.

    Guess what! nobody should try to presume or suggest that they know what the status of somebody else’s soul is in relation to a superior power. I know I do it from time to time with some of the assholes that I analyze, but at the end of the day, I don’t give a fuck. That shit’s between them and God or Satan or Dave Navarro or Papa Smurf, or whoever beared guy they believe in.
    If someone feels convition about something, they have the right to fight against the pressure of other peoples beliefs on them, specially if those zealots arent even close to sure about his own.
    Otherwise your religion is just a lifestyle and your faith a joke.
    In any event, thanks for letting me vent. In a way, I feel bad for unleashing all the pent up annoyance of many stupid people onto this two, but hey, its educational.
