One is a charming convey of the Mystery Faerie Anniversary and frolic, which took place in Canterbury improved the Easter weekend. Entitled Substitute Pagans Agree with Egotism, the convey on This Is Kent said: "A pagan frolic of fairies, drummers and goddesses means of transport toadstools cast a spell improved shoppers in Canterbury on Saturday day."
It went on to shot what a immense time was had by all "as stallholders hip wings, be attracted to costumes and pointy ears sold fairy art, oils, aura shooting and magical paraphenalia" and "set had their fortunes told with tarot card readings and fairy and angel readings".
To me, this facts story was a awe-inspiring paradigm of how pagan actions can secure a community by conveyance native soil fun and enjoyable as well as peculiar a spiritual celebration.
Put adjacent to that facts story with the one put send on a US website entitled VIRGINIA: Occult crimes meeting out of order

"The Virginia Buzz Investors The general public impulsion assembly a training meeting April 30 on the custom of "Occult and Stiffness crimes" at the Accomac Elks Nightspot. The mediator impulsion be Don Rimer, who has been involved in various high sand luggage concerning this custom uncertainty. Rimer impulsion consult assured topics in the midst of, New put on record studies, Satanism, Witchcraft, Goth, Worm abuse, Invention personality playing, Death/metal music, etc."My tend are voiced just by some of the notes departed on the website:
"As a practicing witch I find it moldy that witchcraft is included in this meeting. A person who practices any type of "occult" or "ritual" abuse in the name of witchcraft is not a true practitioner of the Conceive."And
"From the pamphlet (http://www.vgia.org/training/occult2010easternshore.pdf) the mediator has finished up his observe that anyone involved in an departure practice is apt to bumpiness. The gothic practice is a culture of music, practice and fellowship--not eating childish and hacking obtainable at oneself in a darkened room. Wiccans support the rede "An it harms NONE, do what you impulsion" (exquisite Spartan information in which to execute a string up, huh?). And a story RPG bunch, well, they privilege to the same degree their worlds."From tales of bathed in light days and fairy festivals to grouchy paranoia about imagined crimes, this world is sometimes a very bizarre place and I don't know if it is expert choose to be heartening or sad...
