As for Christianity stealing the appearance of Pan for Lucifer, this is also false (to an extent). Not once in the bible is the devil referred to as being ugly, horned, or cloven-hoofed. He was an angel of the highest order and so beautiful that you could hardly stand to look upon him. The reason that people attribute traits such as a bifurcated tail and red hue derives from peoples need to see things as absolutes. Evil must ugly. Good must be beautiful.

Also, Kastere's comment has to be taken with a grain of salt since he decided to join the talks for a bit.

True, but I was being honest about how I feel about this. I can agree that Wicca is currently (in my opinion) "pretentious hipster shit with a following of complete ignoramuses and sheep." But people still believe in it and if it means they have some valid opinions about the state of pollution, I can dig it. Just don't expect me to buy your diatribes on how everything has a soul when you're some trendy shittop.
