Didn't the OP post about medieval times when witches were only burnt in evil Europe and not in "civilised" (ahem..) Russia?

Why I do believe you're right Sir.

And isn't RT a self-confessed fan of Classic British Rock music.....music that is notorious for its Satanic links.

Watch out RT......they may be coming for YOU soon!

I wish you luck gathering up all the Hermetic alchemists, wizards, heretics, and shamans.

God bless you!

Is he not a big Pink Floyd fan?

I'm sure all those pristine LP vinyls he keeps harping on about owning will be for the pyre.

"The Dark Side Of The Moon" and all that jazz.

Just imagine how different the world would be if everyone still used their sixth sence and gut insticts to guide them like ancient civilizations once did-until organized religion came along and told us these things were evil.

Now, instead of direct communication with the Creator we have to go through a mediator to learn 'the way'.

ppffft.

Sympathy for the Devil and NIB will be his undoing, I fear....

Oh bugger, Arthur Brown's forthcoming tour of the evil empire will have to be cancelled.

Is he still alive? Wonderfully bonkers.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Still with us. Now age 82.

Should it not be "God bless" them?

Or are they just going straight to the gulag?

Like so many other poor sods your nation has deemed to be undesirable in the past.

Bless. Or should I say, blessed be....

I'm guessing Black Widow's "Come to the Sabbat" might be a bit of a no no....

I agree! Only, if everyone lived more by their gut instinct, we would become perilously close to mind reading
By not being in touch with our instincts because 'religion' says so has so dampened individual ingenuity.

I agree, on many levels.

“The provision of services of an occult and magical nature should be prohibited by law,”

Would that prohibit exorcisms performed by the Orthodox Church?

a reply to: angelchemuel

On the flip side of that through the same people who perpetrated the likes of witch trials/inquisition.

We're operating on something reminiscent of gut instinct.

And look where that landed a hell of a lot of poor innocent people, especially women.

Gut instinct and intuition are important.

But so are actual facts and evidence.

True. This thread is falling apart faster than a cheap flat pack wardrobe.
