If you...There exists a very simple test for racism. If you remove the x and y groups and reformulate a statement in terms of inter-racial relations, you can then pretty well judge whether or not a philosophical position someone is arguing is racist or not.<br /><br />Let's now apply this to test is what we have been witnessing in the Golden Dawn community with so much vehemence lately is racist or not, namely the position that:<br /><br />"Black Magicians and White Magicians must remain completely segregated. To break through Apartheid and mix together is EVIL!"<br /><br />Reduced to in form to test for racism, this would then read:<br /><br />"Blacks and Whites must remain completely segregated. To break through Apartheid and mix together is EVIL!"<br /><br />Strictly speaking, in this instance we are speaking of religious bigotry, but are not religious discrimination and persecuation equally as odious as racial discrimination and persecution?<br /><br />Food for thought!Imperator David Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569334890339311989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814337050017726886.post-17822490747394370552014-04-01T22:00:58.117-07:002014-04-01T22:00:58.117-07:00I agree...

y...do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law<br /><br />yes very well said. I posted a rant on the watcher site last week but i doubt it was ever approved since i was making some of the same points you make here. We have spoken via email in the past David and I do hope to be able to petition AO and make it out to Nevada to receive physical initiation as i practice GD magick tradition in only a solitary format as of right now. Also I just want to add a big THANK YOU to AO and yourself on behalf of all thelemites. I have read a lot of your past posts and i think it is wonderful how you have spoken in good tone of thelema and dont discriminate against thelemites or AA or OTO members. You dont hold back initiation from them or make them choose one or the other. I know that welcoming and not holding advancement grades is a common thing in some of the GD orders/lodges so thank you and I hope one day I can call u and the rest of AO brothers and sisters. I may add Im not speakin on behalf of OTO or AA but I can say that I am sure that the no discrimination would make any thelemites that wish to incorporate GD tradition very happy. I will also add that I follow the primal witchcraft as well so I think it is great that you are not excluding so called "left hand path" magicians or witches. I will admit i am not the biggest fan of mr Koetting (and lets be honest his presence and ritual is why watcher and others have their panties in a bunch lol) his approach methods theology etc I do know not disapprove of his being there or his ritual etc. We can learn from everybody including him and i know he is very knowledgeable and experienced magician and i applaud you for allowing a left hand path person speak and participate. Darkness does NOT mean evil . My Goddess Queen of heaven earth and hell is considered a dark goddess by most but She is not evil . but i digress i just wanted to add my thoughts , say thank you and 93s lvx & love to you good luck with MAGICKALL fest i wish i could come out there. Maybe next year . and hopefully for an initiation also soon. blessings to AO and all true magicians , witches :-) <br /><br />In Nomine Hecate ,<br />Jimmie<br /><br />Love is the law , love under will Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768548035183720838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814337050017726886.post-73749379265097035062014-04-01T07:31:08.898-07:002014-04-01T07:31:08.898-07:00Bravo.
