Palin Named Two Kids After Television Witches & Wears A Pentagram

[KittyWampus]

Willow- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Piper- Charmer

She also wears a pentagram. Technically it's not a Wiccan Pentagram, but she's at least smart enough to wear a less visible one. I know Wiccans who've done similiar things when they work at corporations and have to "blend".

The Fundies won't like this.

[Egnever]

1. oh my

[roguevalley]

42. willow is the name of a town up here. a lot of alaskans name their

kids after towns. Susan butcher did. its not unusual.

[liberal N proud]

2. Where is her Flag lapel pin?

DAMN IT, I WANT TO SEE YOUR FLAG PIN!

[ladywnch]

52. what , you didn't see that HUGE rhinestone flag pin she has on???

It's bigger than the Ralph Lauren logo on the Olympic Uniforms!!!

[redqueen]

3. That's no pentagram...

but if it was, I'd like the way it's oriented. :)

[KittyWampus]

5. I've known Wiccans who do somewhat similar things with symbols they wear to work

in less inclusive, corporate environments.

[redqueen]

9. Interesting! Well if she is then I like her more!

:D


People with the upside-down pentagram... they go on my radar.

[FatDave]

44. You mean like this?

[redqueen]

46. Yup! Notice a difference?

Coincidence, I'm sure. :P

[BrklynLiberal]

8. I believe you are right...

[yellowcanine]

55. It's no cross either, I do think the kid's names sound "New Agey. Not that there is anything wrong

with that. I think the names are kind of cool. But Fundies are always on the prowl for New Age contamination. They may not think so.

[mzmolly]

4. :)

Should we give them back some of their ridiculousness?

[KittyWampus]

6. please...

[Minimus]

7. It's the North Star - you know Alaska.

[mzmolly]

10. Alaska worships satan?

:scared:

;)

[myrna minx]

15. That would be "exotic" Alaska: land of of the midnight sun and Satan worshiping

Governors. :rofl:

[mzmolly]

26. LOL

Good one!

[MorningGlow]

11. I'm a witch. I know witches. And CryingShame, Palin is NO witch.

Witches don't hunt our brethren animals.

But hey, if we can pass off this meme to scare the fundies, I'm all for it! :hi:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. Republicans have witches too

[MorningGlow]

23. Spelling correction, Bambino

You've got a "w" there instead of a "b". :evilgrin:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

40. LOL!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. Republicans have witches too

[Greyskye]

16. Masonic jewelery, perhaps?

Is she an Eastern Star member?

I agree - no neo-pagan/Wiccan would have her wildlife/environmental positions.

[MorningGlow]

27. Sometimes a star is just a star

Eastern Star symbols have the points colored in. Incorrectly, of course (backwards or upside down, depending on its representation), but colored in nonetheless.

[Greyskye]

30. Usually true

I did an image search of ("eastern star" jewelry necklace) and found a few hits that showed non-colored, non-upside down stars. I don't know how likely it is that that is what she's wearing, but I thought it more likely than a Wiccan pentacle given her views towards animals and the environment.

:hi:

[JVS]

47. Freemasonry is not good among Catholics and confessional Lutherans.

other groups probably don't like it either, but those are the two groups I know who forbid it.

[KittyWampus]

20. Morning Glow, have you know "witches" who were in it for the aesthetics or fashion or

percieved "glamour" or attempts to utilize power?

[MorningGlow]

24. Sure, I've known a lot of wannabes

They never last long. And they don't have a shred of magic in them.

[Beaverhausen]

12. She's a fundie creationist

you are kidding, right?

[zbdent]

17. Um ... I don't remember St. Willow or St. Piper ...

or is that just a Catholic thing?

[noel711]

18. What? She's not christian? Isn't that in the constitution?

:)

[book_worm]

I guess that is better than Endora and Hagatha.

[DangerousRhythm]

19. I've known Wiccans who wear pendants like hers as a less obvious symbol.

Back before I lost any interest in things of "faith", when I was a rebellious teen mainly being Wiccan to piss off my parents, I even did the very same. I had a star shaped pendant that didn't have a ring around it so it'd be less recognizable but it'd still symbolize the Wiccan religion. Very, very recognizable symbol there. I'm truly surprised the fundies never noticed. Especially with the kids names... how did that go under their radar? I was wondering why her kids were named such hippie sort of names and now we know why I guess. I mean hey, she can practice as she wishes but I do really think it's very hypocritical of her to try to play at being a Christian like that to fool the people who voted her in.

[DefenseLawyer]

21. She turned me into a newt! n/t

[Love Bug]

28. But you got better! n/t

[yellowcanine]

56. But does she float? Let's find out!

[chatnoir]

22. Don't insult the witches.

Palin's no witch. No way would she be aerial hunting if she was. She'd be respectful to nature and animals. Not destroying them.

[MorningGlow]

25. Series.

WE don't want her! Ew! :puke:

[KittyWampus]

32. there's some immature types who "Play" at being witches or are in it for totally selfish reasons

[bushmeister0]

43. Besides, she wouldn't need a gun, She could simply wave her hands

and "poof" instant dinner.

[provis99]

29. eeek! She looks like Ashleigh Banfield

At the risk of sounding sexist, McCain appears to have picked a bimbo for VP. The female equivalent of Dan Quayle.

[Divine Discontent]

31. did she name them for the characters, or it's perceived? I'd like to know cuz

I'd love to send this to some people.

[a la izquierda]

33. what the hell is with the closeup. really. need a warning here.

I almost had a heart attack. and now i'm laughing so hard i'm crying.
:rofl:

[Mr Noodle]

34. ummm, hate to tell ya', but.....

...the tv show Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered in 1997. Willow Palin was born in 1994.


Just sayin'.

[apnu]

35. That is NOT a pentagram.

Pentagrams have a circle around them. The circle is very important. Sorry, that won't work.

[Marrah_G]

36. I have never meant a Wiccan Republican

Why would they join a party who despises them?

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. That is a Star. The only religious thing I can think to associate it with would be

the five wounds of Christ, and I think that is a stretch since it turns out she is Pentecostal and not Catholic as was previously thought. (well, by myself and a few others.)

[Solon]

38. That's isn't a Pentacle, and she isn't a witch...

Seriously, is this all you got? Pathetic. :eyes:

[goodgd_yall]

39. No witch would want to open ANWR to drilling

The witch thing's got no legs. Plus, I don't see the pentagram either.

[ladywnch]

41. willow is also the name a a town just north of Wasilla, the town of

which she was mayor. her youngest daughter is named Twig.

[B2G]

48. Her youngest daughter is Piper

Her 4 month old son is Trig.

[AwakeAtLast]

45. Keep repeating it

It's on it's way to being true! :D

:hi:

[B2G]

50. Great. We can piss off the liberal Wiccans too. n/t

[gatorboy]

49. Not to mention the kid she named after a horse.

A horse!

[NatBurner]

51. Willow would NEVER drill in ANWR. What would Xander think?

[vaberella]

53. Her face is very hairy. n/t

[LibertyLover]

54. Not a pentagram

I know some very conservative, Republican Wiccans who would agree with most of the positions Palin holds, like on guns, hunting and oil drilling, although not the anti-choice ones. The high priestesses I trained under were very conservative, loved Bush and were life-members of the NRA. So were several of the members of the circle I worked with several years ago. The rest of us were liberal. We agreed to disagree on politics and to not discuss it. It's not unknown. I also know a number of pagans and Wiccans who hunt for food. They do it sacrally, taking time to honor the spirit of the animal that they have taken and thanking the gods. However, I very seriously doubt she is Wiccan. For one thing, she is not wearing a pentagram. A star necklace does not a Wiccan make.
