Just for Fun
Madame Amoxicillan's Book of Shadows
    A wonderful and hysterical Wiccan parody.

If Jesus Were Here Today, He Would Be a Witch!
    The title sounds a little strange and somewhat out of place, but this page is actually quite interesting. I am not saying I entirely agree with the author, but it's indeed some food for thought!

Evolve Fish
    This site is not specifically Pagan oriented, but it does contain a lot of merchandise that is. Bumper stickers, pins, Wiccan fish, etc. can all be purchased at this site, or you can just view them on the website for a laugh.

Official Site of the Fluff Bunny Trad!
    An absolutely hysterical and a well-thought out parody (or so I sincerely hope!). I await their new articles with anticipation!

Pagan Humor
    The most extensive and wonderful compilation of Pagan humor I have found! Includes Lady Pixie Moondrip's Guide to Craft names, lightbulb jokes, top ten lists, and much more. Be sure to check out the The MWCGGBUMHHWLDSSESFGBLW.

Parodies of Jack T. Chick's Religious Tracts
    Most Pagans have come across Jack Chick's tracts - the tactless presentation, badly drawn images, and poorly articulated arguments in these little comics makes them difficult to forget. These tracts make me feel sorry for intelligent and polite Christians because they are giving them a bad name. Anyway, there are actually a number of people creating parodies of them and posting them on the web. Here are three:
Dead to Rights
Cthulhu Chick Tract
The Jack T. Chick Parody Archive

The Christians and the Pagans
    My friend recently lent me a copy of Dar Williams' CD, Mortal City, which includes a song entitled "The Christians and the Pagans." He is a Christian, and I am a Pagan, strangely enough. Anyway, the lyrics are great. If you get the chance, I would recommend actually listening to the song.

LandOver Baptist Church
    "The Church Newsletter for True Christians" An absolutely hysterical parody site that has fundamentalist Christianity as its hapless victim. It's actually quite frightening that some of the material on this site could make a serious appearance on other sites.

Satanic Hamster Dance
    The title says it all.

A Field Guide to the Modern Pagan
    describes various Pagan subtypes with errie accuracy!

Pagan Humor by Tarty

PagaNetwork News
    This is the homepage of the non-profit Pagan newspaper PagaNet News.

Witch Eye Index
    This page features some articles that have appeared in the periodical "Witch Eye," which is based in the Feri Tradition of Wicca/Witchcraft. Their articles, many which address darkness within a Pagan construct, are wonderful.

Legal Issues and Anti-Defamation
Witch Hunts: Exposing the Lies
    This is a link to a special series hosted by the Witches' Voice which examines the claims made against Wiccans and other Pagans by some fundamentalist Christian literature. Such books examined include Bill Schnoebelen's Wicca:Satan's Little White Lie, Mike Warnke's The Satan Seller, and Lawrence and Michelle Pazder's Michelle Remembers among others.

In Defense of Wicca
    A great page filled with links to various documents addressing the validity of Wicca as a spiritual path, religious freedom in the United States, and the current persecution of Wicca by some other religious groups. (Some of the documents referenced contain historical inaccuracies)

Religious Rights and Freedom of Religion
    Here is another page mainly focused on asserting Wicca as a legitimate religion recognized in the U.S., and it offers a nice selection of links relating to its legality. (Some of the documents referenced contain historical inaccuracies)

Dallas City Council Has First Pagan Invocation
    This page includes an article on Bryan Lankford's Pagan invocation, as well as the content of the invocation itself.
