New Age Witch vs. NeoPagan Witch

Q: How do you tell a New Age witch from a NeoPagan Witch?

A: You throw them both in the water. The NeoPagan Witch will float, whereas the New Age Witch will sink under the weight of all her overpriced crystals....


A Pagan in Heaven

A Pagan dies, and to his great surprise finds himself standing before some pearly gates. The guy in charge looks him over before asking, "Can I help you?"

"Where am I?" asks the Pagan.

"Beg your pardon?" the other guy asks. "You're in Heaven, of course." "B-but I don't believe..."

"Hmmm" (squinting his eyes) "are you one of them Pagan folk?" the gatekeeper asks, his mouth curling in mild distaste.

"Yes, I am... I believe I'm in the wrong place, which way is the Summerland?" our Pagan friend asks.

"It's been 'temporarily' shut down for repairs," the gatekeeper said with an ironic chuckle, "ever since we took over...err...I mean... since the people found their way to the true path."

"Whatever," says the Pagan, "What do I do now?"

"I'm sorry sir, but you must go to Hell. No Pagans allowed here."

"WHAT? Hell? But I don't believe in Hell!"

"Sorry, those are the rules, just follow the downward path to the left."

So our Pagan friend walks down to Hell, only to find the doors open. He warily goes in and looks around to see beautiful meadows, and animals happily roaming the surrounding woods. "Hmm, so far so good." A voice behind him made him all but jump out of his skin. "Can I help you?"

"SHEESH! Give a guy a heart attack, why don't you?"

"Ahem... a little too late for that, isn't it?" the guy said with a smile.

"Who are you, anyway?" our friend asks.

"Why, I'm Satan," the other one said with a slight bow.

"Satan?!" said our friend as he started looking around nervously.

"At your service... you're the Pagan guy Pete called us about, right?"

"Pete... oh the guy in Heaven, yes..." he said, eyeing Satan carefully. "What's gonna happen to me now?"

"Well, you can hang out, there's some great fishing going on in the lake beyond these woods and, if you follow the road down this way, there's refreshments and a little market not too far and to your right. I believe the Pagan meeting grounds are just behind that hill..." Satan went on.

"Are you serious...?" he finally asked.

Satan grinned at him innocently. "Why shouldn't I be?" Sudden understanding filled Satan's eyes. "You don't believe the rumors, do you?"

Suddenly, in answer to our friend's growing fear, the vault of the skies opened with a thunderous groan. A soul, plummeting through the sky, screamed in terror, his screams drowned by the opening of a yawning chasm full of fire and brimstone. The stench of sulfur thickened the air. Thousands of howling, suffering, tortured voices echoed through Hell. When the screaming soul finally fell into the pit, the ground shut closed with a sickening thud that rattled the earth. Our Pagan friend all but soiled his undies as he yelped in terror. "And what was THAT all about?"

Satan rolled his eyes, and made a dismissive gesture with his hand as he said with a distasteful grimace. "Oh, just ignore that..." He rolled his eyes again. "My Christian guests refuse to have it any other way!"


Top Ten Reasons Why Witches Don't Worship Satan

10- Scorch marks on the furniture whenever Satan manifests.

9- Not even Lysol can mask the smell of brimstone.

8- Hard to keep flaming goat's skulls lit.

7- Decreased availability of blonde virgins.

6- Blood stains from the sacrifices are *impossible* to get out of the carpet.

5- Wailing of the damned souls in hell keeps the neighbors awake.

4- The cats keep attacking Satan's tail, which annoys him.

3- Repeated stooping motions for administering the Kiss of Shame (is difficult on the older coven members).

2- Demons smell even worse than brimstone

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY WITCHES DON'T WORSHIP SATAN...

1- Impossible to worship something that doesn't exist!!


Why M&M's Are Wiccan

  • MM = Merry Meet
  • Round shape for wheel of the year, cycle of seasons
  • Skins are different colors, but the inside is the same chocolate, because we are all related
  • Associations with the colors:
    • Red = South
    • Green = West
    • Dark Brown = North
    • Yellow = East
    • Orange = For the Solar God
    • Light Brown = For the Earth Mother
  • Rotate the M & M:
    • M = 13th letter of alphabet, and there are often 13 members in a coven
    • 3 = Triple Goddess, three phases of moon
    • W = Witchcraft, Wiccan
    • E = Enlightenment


Bill Gates Book on Wicca

  1. The book would be called Windows to the Goddess.
  2. Iconology would be a major chapter.
  3. A revised edition would be released approximately every 6 months without which your magic would no longer work.
  4. Your broom would crash at least once a week.
  5. Cauldrons would be called recycle bins.
  6. A book of shadows would be called the folder of magic.
  7. A free high speed connection spell would come with every book.
  8. Ever now and then, your circle would collapse and you would have to perform the reboot ritual to get it working.
  9. If you used the more powerful MagicNT rituals, the above would happen to all circles within a 5 mile radius.
  10. At least once a month, you would have to reinstall your spells into your folder of magic.
  11. You would have to use a start ritual to exit your circle. (And cake and wine would only be available after a sign from the Goddess saying it was safe to do so.)

The Top 10 Ways To Annoy A Pagan

10. Sayyyyyyy, is that a Jewish star?

9. No, then you must listen to Motley Crue, right? Not that, either? I know, it's a ... a ... Pentacost, right?

8. You guys really worship the devil, huh? Cool, I, like, listen to Black Sabbath, like, all the time, dude.

7. Oh, you're a Witch! I'm like, totally into, like, Goddess Consciousness. I sleep with a crystal every night, and have an Atlantean spirit guide. Will you teach me all the secrets of your religion?

6. I hear you Pagans do all your stuff in the nude. Wanna show me?

5. You will all burn in Hell. The Goddess is really Satan in drag. You don't believe in Satan? Boy, does he have you fooled!

4. Fascinating. I'm a sociologist; may I study you as a phenomena?

3. Do you really believe in all that nonsense?

2. You worship the Goddess? Poor thing; you obviously haven't heard about Jesus. Here, let me tell you...

And (drum roll, please):

1. You're a witch, huh? Well, I'm initiated at a higher level than you. I was initiated at the age of seven by my grandmother, who was the last of the Atlantean Trad Elvish Ninja Masters. I don't suppose YOU have any lineage.

A Pagan Fart Joke

courtesy of Travis Osborne, 2013

If you're at a Pagan gathering or event and have a fart that escapes you, here's how you can bring some smiles and laughter. During or after the fart's escape, say:

"Ah! Negative energy spirit!"

(This was first done by Travis immediately following a home cleansing. Before anything could be said, the joke processed and I laughed about it the rest of the evening. Give it a try!)
