Re: [DL] Pagans, or Are you a good witch or a bad witch?

WOuldn't the easiest way is to just reverse the rules for Black Magic 
and call it something else? Now, pagans dont' call themselves white 
magicians, not most of 'em at least (we see magick, if used, as without 
class, and it's the will of invoker...

Now, your right it would be new territory. If you want classical wiccan 
belief, there's a little trick called the Rule of 3.. it's a karmic 
rule - the wrong and right you do returns 3 times. This could be quite 
devistating in DL if not handled properly.

The pagan beliefs are closer to SHamantic practices in deadlands, but 
there needs to be alot of rewording and reidealizing.

In the end - remember, Wicca as we think of it today is more a spiritual 
system then a set of laws for magick - be careful how you work this. :-)

Regards,
Stryfe

Blessed be.
