Big fucking show question: Ron Hutton wrote marking difference between the two; Gardnerian (Gerald Gardener) would always mark clear separation between Pagan/Wicca & Christianity & the struggle of the later against the former. Alexandrians (Alex Sanders) portrayed themselves as “warriors in a constant battle between good against evil magic.” I have mix views on this myself. These guys where before Cunningham or Buckland. What is P.C.P.’s opinion of the this old school rivalry in wicca?

More fun than a Barrel of Mead!

As they say in the intro, this is a group of average pagans discussing daily and common influences and news about paganism and alternative religion.

Very humorous, with gobs of Dr. Who and other fun sci-fi jokes, 8/10 for audio quality, since sometimes the members attending via Skype are a bit fuzzy sounding.

If you’re pagan and want more information, or just want something fun to listen to, give this a listen :)

Hey,

I see there’s finally a video game that pisses of atheists. This is so ridiculous; I knew Christians wouldn’t like it because there’s evolution in it, but I never thought atheists would care. Now I’m definitely getting the game.

Also, I love how you guys are going after the organic food topic. I’ve gone to Whole Foods, mostly for meat without hormones, and it’s too expensive. I found a cheaper place called Trader Joe’s, that’s one of the cheaper grocery stores in NYC. It’s has a mix of both organic and non-organic.

If you have already seen this (attachment: Field Guide to Fluffy Paganism) I apologise – for all I know you guys wrote it! But I thought it seemed like your kind of thing. I like to use it to fluffy spot and I am ashamed to admit many pagans in the UK fit these descriptions!

Keep up the good work – Love your podcast
