End Times of Wicca Wicca will end in popularity when the fact that Wiccans have chosen to become mental clones of their founder, a Mr. Gardner, who cobbled together some Rosicrucian and Masonic rituals and concepts with Old English as a liturgical language, Gardner's fondness for nudist camps, and falsified histories of supposedly old English witch families. Upon critical research Gardner's frauds were exposed but you'll still hear Wiccans bragging about going "skyclad". On top of the Gardner exposé, another fundamental flaw in Wiccan philosophy has also been exposed. The idea, still popular in Feminist circles, that before the Patriarchal religions developed, the Goddess ruled everywhere. Proof of this was to be seen in the seemingly near universal distribution of small pregnant mother statues. But archeological research suggests otherwise as actually besides male gods, animal gods were more prominently displayed than these mother figures which seem more like family talismans for good luck in childbearing than Goddess statues.
End Times of Neo-Paganism*
Neo-Paganism shares the same fate as Wicca. Both are reactionary spiritual developments, reacting against traditional Christian spiritual conceptualization. As traditional Christianity itself heads into its own End Times due to historical evidence overturning cherished Christian traditions and due to internal contradictions in traditional Judeo-Christian theology, so too will Neo-Paganism face its End Times. The problem with Neo-Paganism and Wicca is that these are personal intellectual spiritual paths without origination in spiritual revelation of those who act as spiritual weather-vanes for their social groups, i.e., the prophets. When God is reduced to only an individual conceptualization that will differ in concept and spiritual life demand from person to person, then the spiritual power of God to instruct humankind is virtually eliminated. When God is reduced to definition as "Deity", "Source", i.e., a deliberately nebulous definition, then God'['s hands, the prophets, are tied. When "Deity" necessarily dies with the death of each Deity believer, no two "Deities" being alike in concept or spiritual demand, then God cannot instruct whole societies. There is no common worship of a God common to all. There is no common spiritual vision coming from a common spiritual source or sources to guide societies. In Neo-Paganism, no one needs to know your particular views of your God. Indeed, it is seen as offensive to inflict personal spiritual revelations onto others. "Do your own thing" as long as it harms no others is the rule. But put into practice this means that the historical trail of God's instruction to humankind will be lost. It isn't a matter of organized religion vs. personal religion but recognition of God as a Great Spirit that can and does effect whole societies through commonly shared religious beliefs that come through those who act as the mouths of God, the prophets. And then also there is the fact that modern Neo-Pagans that promote individual conceptualization and worship of individual gods are themselves worshipping ancient and abandoned group God and Goddess worship, i.e., their individualism is in direct contradiction to their spiritual sources which were ancient societies worshipping ancient gods in common. When God is broken up into many gods then the spiritual/material lesson of a common Unity is lost. My God-your God, each different and each representing division of a Common Spirit. Just as Nature is composed of ecological systems balanced with one another forming a great whole system that is Mother Earth, so too is the spiritual realm composed of archetypal configurations that were formally named "gods" that all together form a great spiritual Whole, the Holy One. Without a spiritual model in heaven of Wholeness we have no spiritual model for wholeness within ourselves. Like our separate gods, we separate ourselves from commonality and this cannot but help promote division and eventually warfare because over and above our own individuality is the spiritual effort of God to bring us all together in peaceful coexistence. The Holy One went to great lengths to defeat polytheism and modern efforts to revive polytheism are doomed as well. God is Holy One or God is not God of all but a fractured system of gods, each competing for attention just like we as individuals are so prone to do. Last comes the key indicator of the End Times for Neo-Paganism which is the marked hostility to the Spirit of Christ as Jesus. Without understanding the spiritual evolution of our human conceptualization of the Holy One, Neo-Pagans do not understand the reason the Holy One brought the world the Spirit of Christ in the first place which is to overthrow the otherwise inevitable masculine domination of every social sector, from birth to death, as males compete with each other for control of the social group. Only Christianity provides the necessary striking image of total self-sacrifice that when spiritually received has the power to mellow out the male urge to war against other males just as our wild animal brethren do. Evil will not stop until men lay down their weapons and need for control. The Spirit of Christ shows how this is done and without it, even Neo-Pagans will be at the mercy of Neo-Pagan males defining their own spiritual turf and never learning the social lesson of Jesus that those who would lead must serve their fellow human being, otherwise humanity will not develop but only more warring groups of human beings without common spiritual identity. * Biomystical Christianity can itself be considered a form of modern neo-paganism. The essential difference between Biomystical Christianity which recognizes some of the pagan deities of the ancient Near East and North America is that Biomystical Christian "deities" have been included in the Judeo-Christian epic--they recognize and are connected historically or in revelation to the Spirit of Christ. From an Internet Wicca & Earth Religions forum discussion: The Wiccan/neo-Pagan belief system that reduces God to a catch-all universal word like "Divinity" or "Source" without any identifying character, without any recognizable imprint on human history or any recognizable Plan for human destiny, in effect, directly attacks our God and It's Spirit of Christ by stripping God of any human means of communication with more than one individual. Prophets and holy people are God's eyes, ears, mouths, and hands. But in Wiccan and neo-Pagan beliefs there can be no real prophets or religious leaders as there are in the monotheistic religions inspired by a long successive line of prophets as each Wiccan/neo-Pagan's god or gods is known only by the individual Wiccan or neo-Pagan and by the shared doctrine that proselytizing one's visions from God is a no-no. This purely human-based philosophy makes it impossible for any one Wiccan or neo-Pagan to consider the god or gods of another as having any spiritual authority to guide their lives or the lives of human beings in general. And, of course, Christianity is nothing if not about God's guidance of all human beings. This is why I fight your doctrines on these boards and wherever I can. I counter W's* posting frequently only because she more than you other Wiccans and neo-Pagans posts the W/nP philosophy more on our C&B boards. She acts like a Wiccan/neo-Pagan spokesperson so I address my criticisms of Wicca and neo-Pagan beliefs to her postings. If you go back through my postings against W/nPs, you will find I respond to all of you. W just posts more than most of you so she gets more postings back from me.* What's happening spiritually on these boards I've started is a return of the Elijah/Baal spiritual war. Through me and other Christians critical of Wicca and neo-Paganism, God is showing Its concern that neo-Paganism is the fastest growing religion in America. Neo-Paganism is therefore in a position to lead many minds astray, leading them away from recognizing the true Holy One and Its Spirit of Christ which provides the spiritual model for human beings to become "born again" sacrificing their egotistical self-serving lives in service to others in order to do God's will on earth, the creation of the Kingdom of heaven in our hearts and minds. God did not tolerate ancient Paganism's division of the Godhead into separate gods, and God will not tolerate modern Paganism' adulteration of the Godhead as an impersonal human construct composed of human ideas gathered from a hodge-podge of sources instead of a single, historically acting Supreme Being. As Jesus says, "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men." So when you post your Wicca and neo-Pagan anti-Christ beliefs following your doctrines you are in fact coming onto these C&B boards as blasphemers to our religious beliefs. You shouldn't be surprised if sooner or later Christians take offense. * The brightest intellect of the Wiccan-neo-Pagan posters, "W" converted to Christianity the following year. Back to top
