Spell Checker has it's way


Have you ever wondered what would happen if you let the Spell Checker have it's way when it suggests alternative words to "Athame" and other Pagan terms?  Someone did... and they wrote  a very funny (IMHO) page.  I obtained permission from Don McLeod to reproduce this here.  His page is here: http://www.newage.com.au/library/humour2.html

Here is the  original verse and the "Corrected" one. 


The Wicca Charm

Wicca followers heed the call,
of Lammas to Imbolg,
dancing deosil, never Widdershins
as we worship ye old religion.

From the grimoire's magic true,
we find that we now have the runes;
& the sigils that will bring the power
to our Sabbat's witching hour.

With a pentacle in hand,
await the Goddess's command
then cast your circle with the athame
and with a censer burning vervain.

Throw your talisman into the fire,
and to you comes what you desire.
Then jump astride a besom firm
and ride until the talisman burns.

The Knicker Charm

Knicker followers heed the call
of lammingtons to imbibe,
dancing docile, never widdling
as we worship a yelled religion.

From the grim one's magic true,
we find that we now have the runs;
& the sickness that will bring the power
to our sad bat's twitching hour.

With a testicle in hand,
await the Goddess's command
then cast your circle with the shame
and with a sense of burning vermin.

Throw your tallest man into the fire,
and to you comes what you desire.
Then jump astride a bosom firm
and ride until the tallest man burns.
