Which is witch??


Watching this video of Sarah Palin and her witch hunting friend Pastor Thomas Muthee, reminded me of the lyrics of Destroyer 666's song Witch Hunter.


Witch hunter - seeks a scapegoat
Witch hunter - words blow in the wind
Witch hunter - seeks a way out
Witch hunter - know all that is sin

Witch hunter - herald of plagues
Witch hunter - would kill to morality's name
Witch hunter - the virulent keep
The lies of pigs and their fuckin' disease

There are those who will come to watch you die
To stand around your funeral pyre
And they'll laugh as you're marched to your death
And they dance when the noose is put round your neck

The first to cry and the first to fall
The first to come to the witch hunter's call
The first to curse whatever is free
The first to fight and the first to flee
The first to do whatever is done
The first to sing the witch hunter's song...

Appropriate scary stuff to help us celebrate Halloween, right?

Well we haven't had a witch hanging, crushing or stoning in quite a long time, but it's fun to reach back into time and hold close to our bosoms the nutso stuff from the past.

Breaking News: The criteria Pastor Muthee uses to determine who is or who is not a witch. You must see. Remember you heard it here first.

Hey LB -- nice to see you on my blog. I don't blog much anymore but there's so much material today I wish I could blog more often!

So I guess it is Palin vs Obama in regards to wacky preachers.

There are Wiccans who serve in the military and vote. They are also more patriotic than certain Christian sects (Amish, Mennonites, Quakers), and are a benevolent faith.

Hi Thomas...! Wiccans don't go around shooting snakes and chasing fortune tellers out of their village.

I know a Wiccan and she's all about herbs and aromatherapy although she prefers the name Pagan. Being a nature based "religion" I don't have any problems with the concepts -- and it dovetails into my pantheistic views...although I have a hard time calling pantheism a religion as I think it's so much more than that.

What no comment on the hilarious part on witches from the Holy Grail?

Well fortune tellers charge too much. Last time I made a witch joke, I was turned into a newt, but I got better :)

Well, pagan includes many beliefs. I just tend to go specific. Well, religion can be a good broad based word. Judaism is more than a religion, but it certainly is a religion as well.

I wonder if Muthee checks that witches are made of wood :)
