They call themselves the "Hidden Children", yet, whether they are gothed out or sweeping the floor in a big flowing mumu, you can always spot them--They've bought out the entire azuregreen catalogue and are trying to wear it all at once! Who wears Gauntlets anymore, besides them? Dreamcatcher earrings, pentacles the size of hubcaps--the one who dies with the most lucky rocks wins, it seems...You can hear them jingling a mile away--whoever they're hiding from must be pretty stupid not to notice with all the bling they're wearing

Priceless, thank you. I think we all know a "Lady Moonbeam Jasmine Unicorn." Part of the Circle of Indubitable Goodness, Sunshine and Fluffy-things.
(And this Pagan is in uniform. :-P )

If adhering to the teaching of Al-Quran and As-Sunnah is to be called a Wahhabi then, I guess I'm a Wahhabi. What happens to Syafiee teaching I've been following? Actually nothing happens. If we are to look closely at the Sunni practices, it follow closely what the salafus-salih did. Except that there are people in those days who tag these Imams name to their teaching creating the sects. When I studied Al-Hujjatul Muslimin Al-Ghazali works "Ihya' Ulumuddin" -"The revival of Spirit of the Faith", does my translation right?- well, there are alot of instances that took as-salafussalih doings according to tradition that shows how closely the Imams of the old follow their teaching. This is conjecture so I may be wrong, anyway, I strongly suspect the Imams never suspected that their teaching will turn into sect in the Muslim Ummah. I mean, Imam Malik is Imam Syafiee teacher, Imam Hanbali and Imam Syafiee discussed and learned from each other. And they all closely follow the footsteps of the Salafussalih. So, if they all do that then wouldn't it be they are also Wahhabi? Don't be ridiculous! So, brothers and sisters all. Follow the middle path, as I've always advocate. Be it Wahhabi, Sunni or Shiah, we follow the one rule, Al-Quran and A-Hadith. And yes, in matters we are not clear then we ask our scholars. "Not to adhere blindly to the scholars" means use your better judgement according to the teaching of Al-Quran and Sunnah. Scholars are humans too, they are susceptible to corruption like all the rest. But choose your teachers carefully, use the Al-Quran and Hadith as a guide, for as there were worldly scholars, there are also heavenly teachers. 'Ulama Ad-dunia, vs 'Ulama al-Akhirat. You should know the difference thereof.

Meh...
I got invited to Circle once by a stranger because I have Celtic jewelry. I'm actually not pagan - although I am paganesque for sure.
I think what you're refering to is more an aesthetic value than a religious thing. The two just happen to co-incide frequently. I even wear pentacles. The fashion isn't what's hidden anyway. It's the esoteric nature of the practise.

You are confusing material experience of a practitioner with the spiritual experience of practice.
The active aspect remains hidden in the unfathomable constructs of the spirit domain. We can't show anyone these things within ordinary consensual reality. We can only tell them how to get to the hidden places and see for themselves.

Um... a lot of my friends are wiccan and they look as normal as everyone else. I'm guessing you're referring to the teenage crowd who thinks that being wiccan means listening to metal and wearing all black... it's a BIG difference between actual wiccans and those that think it's a cool thing.

That is their plan, to deceive you into thinking that is what they are all about. Meanwhile, they are laughing at people like you behind your back because you fell for the charade.
Any wise person can judge, but it is the enlightened individual that knows they have no right to do so ......

They even have an annual gathering (heavily) advertised to the public. RenFest or something like that.

Most Wiccans don't dress up like that. But they usually make no efforts at secrecy, either.

They're hiding ordinary humans underneath all that jewelry somewhere... yet you're so distracted by the brightly coloured decoration that you never notice.
