The Yeti\’s Cyber Smithy

C.U.U.P.S., Pagan Pride, and Circle Sanctuary member conduct my murder in effigy.

Did you know that Jill Marie Combs, the Vice President of CUUPS (an organization I once respected greatly) who is also the Regional Coordinator of the Ohio Valley Pagan Pride Project Inc despises folk who use their First Amendment rights and creates effigies of them for the purpose of conducting human sacrifices with guns and dozens upon dozens of rounds of ammunition?

That’s right, us your First Amendment rights and apparently CUUPS and PPP officials will despise you and shoot at your effigy in a symbolic human sacrifice. What the hell? Have our leaders all gone mad?

As many of you know, I have been soliciting Pagan Pride Project inc. to stand against the distribution of what I believe to be a pedophilic instructional created by Gavin and Yvonne Frost. As Pagan Pride Project Inc. has stated that adult literature of any kind may not be distributed at its events and has included this in its statements of ethics, one would think that instructional on sexually initiating children into Wicca would be included and it would not be difficult for them to make such a decision.

But instead of considering the letters they have received, it seems as if at least one local coordinator of Pagan Pride Project incorporated has taken it upon herself to create an effigy and “firing 80 rounds into” that effigy. Although she did not name me specifically, I feel as if it is rather clear to members of the pagan community exactly what she intended. After all, I received a copy of this information from someone who read the statement and thought just that, that the woman is attacking me personally for asking that people express their opinions.

This local Pagan Pride coordinator does not seem interested in living in a country with holds freedom of speech as sacred. I called for folk to write letters to Pagan Pride and let their opinions be heard, to simply write and explain how we feel, to that she replies:

Jill Medicine Heart Combs / Jill Marie Combs
Vice President of Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans
Ohio Valley Regional Coordinator

vicepresident@cuups.org

“I despise Fundie Pagans who think that their First Amendment rights should infringe on how an organization should run—“

In fact, she solicited the support of members of the Pagan Spirit Gathering Email list, a function of Circle Sanctuary. (Yes, I did say Circle Sanctuary) to help her with her magickal attacks on those folk expressing themselves via email or perhaps myself specifically. She later thanked them in a following email to the Circle Sanctuary email list.

“Thank you everyone for your support in some serious magickal workings that have been occurring over an issue that is dear to my heart, Pagan Pride. I had to reach into some deep dark recesses and call upon a few dark forces to help me out– This isn’t my normal kind of magick to perform either– but dammit, you don’t muck with my pagan family!”

The blog where this was first posted was deleted. I originaly posted the google cache of this blog but have removed it to protect an innocent third party.

The blogger who wrote this claims I have said I want to burn the Frosts in effigy. I have never made such a statement. He says he thinks that the matter of Gavin and Yvonne Frost should be discussed as mature adults. I have asked people to write to Pagan Pride and express their opinions. I believe I have done exactly as this blogger has asked. I have asked folk to discuss it. This is how C.U.U.P.S, Pagan Pride, and Circle Sanctuary members respond to my request for discussion?

As it seems Pagan Pride Project local coordinators resort to using firearms, the killing of effigies, and references to jar spells (usually a reference to capturing a person’s soul) against me or other folk who simply asked for emails to be sent expressing their opinions, I am now disgusted by Pagan Pride Project Incorporated.

What has happened to my beautiful pagan community of activists and folk who welcomed discussion and social reform? Do we now respond to emails which include since concerns about our children with death threats? Do we now demand that the First Amendment is an annoyance?

This is the Vice president of C.U.U.P.S. Not a local cups, but the International Incorporation.
This is a local coordinator of the Ohio Valley Pagan Pride Project. Not some rogue event.
This is how Circle Sanctuary’s email list is being used, to attack folk for writing emails.

What the hell?

[PSG_Community] Please light a candle for me on Thursday NIGHT!

I cannot go into details, but I am doing some serious
magickal work to help protect our Pagan Pride
International as we are under attack. I am also
working on doing some magickal work to help protect
those who are joining in on this attack on Pagan
Pride. I wish I could go into details, but this is a
matter of urgency to protect the name of a
organization that has done good for you for over 10
years!

Please help protect me during this ritual.

Ohio Valley Regional Coordinator

Thank you everyone for your support in some serious magickal workings
that have been occurring over an issue that is dear to my heart, Pagan
Pride. I had to reach into some deep dark recesses and call upon a few
dark forces to help me out– This isn’t my normal kind of magick to
perform either– but dammit, you don’t muck with my pagan family!

I despise Fundie Pagans who think that their First Amendment rights
should infringe on how an organization should run–

Lets put it this way— my first ritual consisted on firing 80 rounds
into a target that I created as an effigy of sorts. If this fundie
pagan wants to play with effigy’s, I can too dammit.

The only damndable thing about this and the witches bottle I created
for Phase Three– I had to sacrifice a jarfull of pickles so I could
have a jar to work with!

I will protect the organizations that I am run with– anyone EVER
threatens them with anything the warrioress is coming out and she’s
pissed! — Be it Pagan Pride, Circle, Military Pagan Network, Robin’s
Hood Community Center, CUUPS or anything other organization I am
connected to. And, if anyone has a beef with me (unlike this fundie
pagan who won’t come right out and say anything to me publically) then
you need to take up with me and me alone.

I love you all! Thank you for the candlelightings, the angels, and
whatever else you sent for protection– you are the most wonderful
group of people I have ever come across. You are truly my extended
family.

Bless you all for your help!

Jill Medicine Heart Combs

HOney,I am NOT the only cuupster out there working magick on this
situation–

What I did, I did for an IMMEDIATE cease and desist of actions. No
one has a clue what the WHOLE story is that is occuring to Pagan
Pride. I can’t divulge that information–which I could, but I can’t.

However, I WILL defend myself and not roll over and play dead. I am
NOT a pacifist.

AJ’s acts against Pagan Pride is just like as if I had a home
invasion– I will defend and protect. Human compassion isn’t going
to cut it with AJ– what you see in his blogs are only the tip of the
iceburg what he’s doing to Pagan Pride.

If by my actions offends some people— so be it.. okay, just to let
you know… I created a witches bottle too– with blood and urine
added to it– is that a crime as well?

However, sorry I even brought up the subject of needing some
protection myself while doing the magickal workings.. seems that my
family is turning their back on me–

So much for defending and helping the pagan community– Don’t forget
what **I** nearly had to sacrfice on my own when it came to the
Pentacle Quest. I guess that doesn’t count anymore, does it?
