As a practicing pagan, I highly resent Rev. Taylor trashing paganism and insinuating that pagans practice the dark arts (June 29).

That is entirely untrue. Pagans worship the Goddess and the Horned God, and do not practice the dark arts, as he says. Furthermore, witches contribute a lot to society and generally do not practice the dark arts because the rule is, cast a spell and it comes back to you times three. He should really get his facts straight before he says these kind of things.

It is, in fact, people like Rev. Taylor who, in their ignorance, caused many innocent practitioners of witchcraft to be burned at the stake.
