“It's about self-expression, self-reliance, self-discovery, self-actualization, self-liberation and self-worship,” Stuckey says. “That's what Paganism is all about, after all.”
“It's not surprising that the event has grown in popularity over the years. It's nothing more than a carnal celebration of sex, drugs and perversion,” she continued, noting that participants adopt “new names,” place their weight on wooden dolls and follow a shared resource philosophy to eliminate monetary exchange when attending the event.
“It's like an upside-down world of Christianity, where when we come into Christianity, we become new creations and as we follow the way of Christ, we take on an easy yoke and a light burden and cast all our cares on the Lord, because He cares for us,” Stuckey explains.
“It is a cheap and pagan imitation because it pretends to give freedom to its participants, but in reality it binds them under the burden of sin and slavery,” she added.
