Antar Bolaeisk

Tom Lanting (34) and Iain Robertson (39), who have been together for 12 years, were married in a ceremony in the 16th-century vaulted cellars of Marlin’s Wynd in Edinburgh.

What the hell, since when could men be witches :mad:!

Maybe I'm just too backward in my belief that men shouldn't be allowed to be witches, to me it just signifies the continued decline of the Western World.

MarkAnthony

Congrats to them both. What ever make you happy.

Antar Bolaeisk

Yes, absolutely, congrats to the happy couple.

Menas

Good to see people having the wedding that they want, not what they think they should have to confirm. Well done to them.

Aw, sounds magical

I thought wizard (wizzard if you're spelling it with sequins) was the generally accepted title for a male of the magical persuasion.

Fantasy fiction has been lying to me all this time.

Was thinking warlock myself.

A warlock is something different, something more akin to a witchhunter I think.

Burn them.

For putting under the cups at the reception.

Did they at least sacrifice a goat/kid/virgin?

Or all three in one? Conveniently enough.

Sourcerers are the eight son of an eight son of an eight son, magic cubed, much more powerful than your standard issue wizard.

They jumped a broom, I don't think it's an innuendo.

Plenty of equally absurd beliefs besides it and also a rather progressive religion when it comes to social issues plus no expectation of their religious beliefs dictating law. So fair play to both of them.

That's sourcerers.

This reminds me of that Jedi wedding that time. Two lovely jedis were having a wedding in their back garden and who came along and jumped over the wall but an irate Darth Vader wielding a blunt object or some such, only to lay into them something fierce. Hospital visits required. Day ruined.

Always a risk with Jedi weddings.

I know I should not laugh, but that was hilarious.

With witch weddings you have to worry about rival covens, irate priests or young girls in tornado driven houses. Luckily this one passed off without a hitch.

Magick with a K I gather Whoops. Wiccans are funny. Only slightly older than scientology(though with at least an attempt at a backstory) and nearly as daft. Up there with Druids and such. Historically and theologically a bit silly.

However and to be fair every single Wiccan/Pagan type I've ever met has been universally pretty sound. Now maybe that's just been my personal experience, but it's something I'd find hard to say about pretty much any other religious belief. So that's something to be said in their favour, in a big way.

Ew.


















Scottish people.

Their third album, "Lesbian Baphomet Summoner" was brutal. The good brutal. With a metal growl. \m/

We should celebrate their first time referring to pagans and it actually being accurate.

Don't worry they're Scottish so nothing to see because they won't take off their duffel coats.

A show about gay Scottish witches, I smell a ratings winner.

It's a classic of the homosexual pagan metal genre alright.

From what I say on Wikipedia, hardly seems much stranger or sillier than any of the other established religions.

It isn't, but the other established religions came up from the bronze age onwards, faiths like Wicca et al came along after the enlightenment when people should have known better. Then again scientology and the moonies prove how easy it is to fool a remarkable amount of people even in the 20th/21st centuries.

Seems harmless enough to me. An excuse for people old enough to be "sensible" to wear dreads and dance about butt-arse-nekkid in the moonlight. Blessed be, let's wind-walk with our ancestors and not return to Ye Burning Tymes!

Meh. Just because a religion is 2000 years old, doesn't mean people born today shouldn't know better either.
