Blessings Darlings!
The wonderful Morgan blogged about St. Patrick. And included full citations. You - each and every ONE of you - should read it. http://lairbhan.blogspot.com/2012/03/st-patricks-day-snakes-and-irish.html
In short: The neopagan "we are eternal victims mythos" about Patrick are not based in fact. They are simply a way to justify neopagans playing the victim card.
Many people are amazingly invested in playing the victim card. A person on Twitter tweeted the "St Patrick committed genocide" thing, I cited sources showing it's not true and asked for HER sources. Turned out the woman is a few sandwiches short of a picnic, and is now accusing me of being a part of the Russian mafia, involved in sex trafficing, just saying I'm in Druid and Wiccan groups because I'm trying to shut her up. And asked "REAL Druids" to "Take Fern Out" (and implied a few times she's going to hex me).
In response I DID get a date offer (we riffed on 'taking me out'). Keeping the joke going I suggested we catch the Trans Siberian Orchestra.
Frondly, Fern

You would sound more credible if your writing actually made sense.
ReplyDeleteAh, Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteI can make it simpler: Patrick didn't drive anyone or anything out of Ireland. Anyone saying otherwise has an axe to grind. The neopagans and witches who whine about it are playing victim, and need to grow out of it. Victims make lousy witches and are fluff bunny pagans.
How's that?
I'm pickin up what you're putting down, Fern. LOL!
ReplyDeleteif your confused anon, I suggest reading the wonderful blog she links to at the beginning of this post.
