(Stonehenge) A group of Pagan protesters are outside the ancient ruins protesting the treatment of male Pagans. Their spokesman Drew Edd had this to say, “We are fed up with the unequal treatment of males in both language and practices. We think the exclusive use of female gender names such as Mother Earth disparages male wisdom, why not Father Earth? And the term Gaiea again is just too feminine influenced, it just sounds gay-a. We prefer another name for the intricate process of earth interlocking processes – George. This is now the 21st century but sexual stereotypes are still in place in Pagan worship. Is is fair that some parts of our worship can only be inhabited by female virgins. All are called to ministry and to exempt one part of the population because of some traditions and prejudices is simply wrong-headed. We must be open minded and start also sacrificing male virgins, after all it is just as hard to find virgins of either sex. Allowing male human sacrifices would be true sexual equality and justice. The ritual sacrifice of humans is the preeminent part of our worship and because of the human sacrifice shortage people are not gaining access to our rituals. We should also allow married people to become human sacrifices. Celibacy for human sacrifices is unnatural and we could rapidly increase the pool of available sacrifices by not making restrictions based on sex or married state. Who knows all of the psychological problems that might be based on us restricting our sacrifices to be celibate, though normally we don’t have problems with them after they have been part of the altar ceremony.”
