A Proclamation of PREWDery

(or Upon Further Reflection)

   Having immediately been chastened by reading Beta's rant on Keep Wicca Traditional and being perforce reminded of the Gardnerian Reformation, I have decided to refine my prior Declaration to that of Reformed Eclectic Wicca. It also reminded me that I could be accused of the same failing I call when I see in others - that of not defining my terms clearly enough.
    So here it is:

   I hereby declare myself a PREWD - a Practical Reformed Eclectic Wiccan Demagogue. I invite all those of reason and reasoning to join me in a crusade of PREWDery. PREWDery is hereby defined as follows:

1 - A PREWD will not remain silent in the face of pop etymology and mythical science.
2 - A PREWD stands up for the truth whenever it occurs, however unpleasant that may seem.

This is not the only defining criteria, just the only ones I've thought out at the moment. I'll be further declaiming and defining PREWDery in further rants. Feel free to make suggestions which I may feel free to ignore.

Well educated Christians, or any other faith for that matter, find it hard to accept the validity of Wiccan religious beliefs when what some Wiccans claim as historical beliefs are demonstrably just plain silly.
