In the latest issue of The Witches Almanac, the Spring 2016 issue, there is a letter in their Mailbox section… actually it’s the first letter they respond too. A reader by the name of Lorraine Margueritte Gasrel Black (any relation to Sirius Black?) writes the question “How does one know if she/he is really a Witch?”

The responder at The Witches Almanac waste no time in using this opportunity to assert their political beliefs by responding:

“Knowing one is a Witch is like knowing one’s gender; It’s within your soul. Someone who was not raised a Witch will often experience a type of inner knowing or awakening.”

Let’s put aside the fact that this person just glazes right by the blatant No-true-Scotsman inherent in the question that is what really should have been addressed, This person instead makes the effort to equate being a Witch to being transgendered. That even though one was not raised as a Witch, like a man who was not raised as a woman, will experience some inner knowing or awakening, like a man waking up one day and saying to himself “I feel like a woman, I must be a woman”. This is comparing apples to turkey. You know within your soul that you are a Witch where as you know within your underwear what your gender is.

The responder then goes on to say:

“You may find yourself intuitively acting in concert with nature…”

This is a point that’s made in another article we published pointing out the gross disconnect “Nature worshiping” Neo-Pagans have with nature. Nature determines one’s own gender and proudly pronounces it by assigning genitals to all of us… yet when a Neo-Pagan doesn’t like what nature did, to hell with nature. It’s very disingenuous to make  a comparison with something as anti-nature as the myth of gender fluidity, and then try to solidify the point with an appeal to that very Nature.

This is a classic example of leftist liberals slipping their political beliefs into Paganism.
