Got to agree with you on this one.  Nope is an awfully blunt and a bit
neive to talk about symbolizm that genrally everyone takes differntly.

Well, I'm glad you said it. Because I would have felt like a moron if I had
said that.  You see, I was a practicing witch for a while, too, (then I 
stopped practicing)  Until I basically just changed termenology. Now, I 
refer to myself as a number of things, since witch has alot of preconcieved
notions behind it.  Since I was born with most of my alibities, and I don't
require symbolizm to do it, I usually just refer to myself as a psychic.
Not that that gives me any more insight into the history and folklore of
spiritualism than does your current religion, witch is why I wonder why you
mentioned it.  (hoping someone got the play on /\ words)

Actualy, Gaiya has been adopted by alot of various religions now.  Most often
it is refering to the Gaiya hypothesis, which is basically a metaphysical
worldveiw that we are all of one consiousness. (I could get more detailed
in the view, but I don't buy into it myself, and I would lose my own
interest long before I lost yours)  Basically, I think the name Giaya (I
think we are all misspelling it, since we don't speak greek, and they used
a different alphabet anyway) just sounds pretty, and kind of like a green
earth kind of thing, so people just took the name. Too bad. Alot of people
took my name because it's cool, too, and it just wastes it.

   And for the record.... As a practicing psychic :P and more importantly
a student of the scientific dicipline of parapsychology, dealing with
the experiential aspects of PSI, (meaning I do research on this stuff as a 
hobby)  I can say that the general view is what I have mentioned in my
privious post.  Once you get into saying the the pentacle looks like a person
and the other one looks like a skull (?) is usually just christian theory.
As far as the actual practice of the MAJORITY of people who actually use
these symbols, (not including everyone, of course) what I said was true. (at
least in the western cultural tradition, witch is what we were refering to)


And most importantly... All who oppose me.......
