To members of the CUUPS:
Please
forgive the scope of this email. I am sending it individually to every
member of CUUPS whose email address I can find. I am doing this
individually by visiting every chapter web page and finding the contact
emails because I desperately need to inform the membership of CUUPS of
the actions of a person who claims to be your Vice President. Actions
which are stated to be the use of a fire arm in an apparent effort to
use sympathetic magick to bring about my murder. As the father of two
children, I hope you can understand why I would use such a tactic to
solicit you help.
My
name is A.J. Drew. I am a pagan author and long time supporter of your
organization. More importantly, I am a father with the clear goal of
improving my community for my children. To that end I recently asked
members of Pagan Nation (pagannation.com) to write to Pagan Pride
Project LLC to express their feelings about what many believe to be
pedophilic instructions found in a book by Gavin and Yvonne Frost. I
will provide quotes from that book in a moment such that you may
understand why I am so alarmed at its content and continued sale at
Pagan Pride events.
In what seems like a direct response to
my asking for pagan folk to express their concern over this literature
to folk, a person claiming to be Jill Medicine Heart Combs, Vice
President of CUUPS and regional coordinator for the Ohio Valley Pagan
Pride Project, sent emails to a Circle Sanctuary email list which
rather clearly calls for assistance in facilitating my murder via
sympathetic magic and ritual.
The first email was rather vague, calling on magickal assistance:
"Subject: 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.
Jill Medicine Heart Combs
Ohio Valley Regional Coordinato"
The second email was a bit more to the point:
Subject: The rituals are done ---
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 publicly) 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
I
do not know what it is that I could have done to so enrage this woman
to violence. The very thought that someone would believe members of
Circle Sanctuary would assist her in a ritual that involves shooting my
effigy 80 times with firearm is stomach turning. Even more stomich
turning is the thought that this person claims to be Jill Medicine
Heart Combs, Vice President of one of the most respected pagan
organizations in the United States.
At this year’s International Real
Witches Ball, we are having a ritual called a Sacrifice to Caring. The
ritual is being written by survivors of incest and child molestation. I
have stated that I plan on sacrificing the Frosts in effigy at that
event, but have explained exactly what I meant:
http://pagannation.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showthreaded/Number/61877/gonew/1#UNREAD
Yes,
I keep a blog at ajdrew.blogs.pagannation.com in which I have been
detailing what Gavin and Yvonne Frost have written and who have
supported them these many years. This being done as part of my
involvement in the De-Frosting campaign, a movement which feels that
before we address such issues as Catholic Priests sexually molesting
young boys, we must first address the problems in our own religion. But
these things are matters of Freedom of Speech and as such are sacred.
As
your vice president seems to be responding to my request for letters in
which folk simply express their opinions, I am shocked to find that I
am apparently the target for 80 rounds fired from a handgun in a
symbolic murder as part of a pagan ritual.
In
all sincerity, what am I now to think of CUUPS? I am hoping that this
email will prompt its members to remove its vice president so I can
return to greatly respecting your organization. Failing that, all I
could hope for is that folk leave the organization such that I can at a
minimum respect those members who have taken such a valiant stand as to
not to be associated with such activity and hatred.
All I
have sought to do is to bring to light what seems to be a clear and
present danger to our children, the pedophilic writings of Gavin and
Yvonne Frost. All I have tried to do was to demonstrate to Pagan Pride
that we pagan folk are not proud of Gavin and Yvonne Frost. For this,
the vice-president of CUUPS wants me dead? I do not know what to think.
Am
I so wrong in wanting to use my First Amendment right to Freedom of
Speech that your vice president should want me put to death? There have
been claims made by folk who have spoken against the Frosts that the
Frost’s supporters have attempted to kill them. Until now, I have
always thought those claims were false. Even when I encountered a few
folk who threatened to physical assault me, I felt the claims were most
likely false. But now that someone in such a position of prestige in
the pagan community has made her feelings clear (with a fire arm), I am
not so sure.
In closing, please help defend myself and my
family from this magickal attack being waged by your vice president.
Please pray for my family and self.
Blessed be and live free,
A.J. Drew

Quotes from The Witches Bible / The Good Witches Bible
By Gavin and Yvonne Frost
Chapter
IV
"When
a child develops to a stage where the physical attributes of
reproduction are present, he can become a full member of the coven."
Note
the use of the word "child". As I understand this statement we are
speaking about prepubescent / onset of puberty. Perhaps the age of 10.
"The
parents relinquish the spiritual guidance of the children to the coven,
and warn them that temporal authority will also soon be outside the
family. "
Note that according to this statement, it seems
what follows would have been led by Gavin and Yvonne Frost as the Heads
of their Coven.
"It is hoped by Wicca that the first full
sexual experience will take place in the plesant[SIC] surroundings of
the coven and that the spiritual as well as the physical aspects of the
experience will lead the child to a complete life. "
Note:
Note the use of the word "child" in this sentence. Note also that this
sentence appears in the same discussion as the reference to the age
being the onset of puberty. Obviously, we are speaking of children well
under legal age and apparently about 10 years of age.
"The
physical attributes of male and female virginity are destroyed at the
youngest possible age, either by the mother or by a doctor. In the
female case, the hymen is painlessly broken surgically. In the male
case, the mother makes absolutely sure that the foreskin can be drawn
fully back by cutting the underside attachment membrane."
Note: I did not know that home genital surgery was part the Wiccan religion.
"At
the last sabbat or eshbat before the initiation, the female novice is
given the sacred phallus and the instruction sheet in Table 5 so that
she can learn to insert and remove the phallus quickly and comfortably.
She is also taught how she should lie and what she should do during the
initiation ceremony. "
Note: There are two phalluses. One
large, one small. There are instructions for making them using wood
dowels, nylon cord, and wax. The object of this exercise appears to be
to stretch the virgin vagina to make it ready for coitus.
Remember, as we discussed earlier we might be speaking about a 10 year old girl.
Table Five contains the following instructions
"You
have been entrusted with two phali[SIC]; these are in your care until
your initiation. We would like you to be initiated at the next coven
meeting, which will take place on …. This means that, excluding your
menstruation time, you have three weeks to prepare your muscles for
introitus. Your father or your sponsor will help you if you have any
difficulties or pain. You may have to delay your initiation, but there
is plenty of time and no need to hurry. These are important development
phases. Relax and take your time. You have no hymen; there is no
restriction except the vaginal muscles."
Note: As I
understand this, a 10 year old girls father should help her with the
home made phalli? In the state of Ohio, this is rape. In any state,
this is obscene.
"After
your evening discussion and meditation, and before you go to bed, take
the smaller phallus and smear it with lubricating jelly. Either lie on
your back with your knees up and legs slightly apart, or stand up and
bend your knees. Spread the lips of the vagina and gently insert the
phallus. Remember it must point toward the back, not up inside you.
Push the phallus in until the vaginal entrance muscles close around the
core. Wear it and the larger phallus in accordance with the following
table, except during menstruation."
Note: The table provides the time and schedule to use the two devices of differing sizes.
"The final three days before the initiation are a time of fasting. "
Note: The importance of fasting will become evident later.
"Throughout the fast the novices
are given a demonstration of introitus by a couple selected by the coven. "
Note:
As I understand this passage, this states that a live sex show should
be given to children as early as the age of 10 years of age.
"The novice makes her own decision on contraception or lack of it."
Note:
As I understand this statement, children the age of 10 years old should
make decisions on the use or lack of use of birth control prior to
having sex.
"The flamenca gives the novice a full glass of mead."
Note:
While I am not a doctor, I believe the result of having a child or most
adults fast for three days and then drink a "full glass" of a high
carbohydrate alcoholic beverage would be near instant intoxication.
"Bring back the fruits of your sponsor’s body"
Note:
Although the instruction is not specifically to go have sex, with the
wording of the preparation, this instruction is not hidden at this
point. So at this point, we might be speaking of a 10 year old girl,
removed from her parents care, raped by her father with a series of
home made dildos, fasting for three days, intoxicated on mead, and told
to go have sex with her sponsor. In the case of a male child, skip the
dildo and include genital surgery.
"Does the novice now understand the meaning of life?"
"Do you still wish to be a member of this coven?"
Note:
Some final highlights remember we are obviously talking about
"children" and seem to be talking about children as early as the age of
10 years old.
"Do you have the fruits of your body (sponsors body)?"
"I will use my sex for good;"
"She
symbolically whips him with his own whip. He kisses her foot, she helps
him to rise. He points to his ankh (symbol of the God’s authority) at
her. She falls to the ground. He symbolically whips her. She kisses his
foot; he helps her to rise. "
"The symbology [SIC] of the
meek overcoming the strong and the godhead overcoming all, even the
flamenca, is easy to understand, but has been the cause of many attacks
by the establishment, who freely change "foot" to "backside".
Note:
Interesting use of the word "establishment". When combined with the
pedophilia, I find this use of the word alarmingly similar to other
religious organizations, which have turned my stomach.
Chapter VII – Perils and Precautions – All quotes and page numbers are from the 1972 edition of The Witches Bible.
"At
the end of this chapter you will find an additional section covering
the problems you may encounter with the local temporal and civil
authorities. Precautions and cures for these ills do not fall within
the scope of the present book, but on your getting a good lawyer".
Section title "Temporal Authorities and Law" – page 181 at the end of the chapter VII.
"First
and foremost, check your local laws so that if you have to bend or
break any of them, at least you’ll know the risks you run. The
following should be checked."
"Carnal Knowledge
The
daughter of a local Wiccan couple wishes to join the coven. She is
sixteen. May she join? The answer in most states is that when she is a
member, all of the men of the coven could be jailed; no amount of
formal releases properly signed will help. So if she wishes to join,
all the male members of the coven must sign an agreement absolving the
other members from responsibility."
Why do the authors seem
to think only the men could be jailed over this? Why not the female
members as well? The only thing I can come up with is that elsewhere
the Frosts explain how homosexuality in their religion is not
permitted. As best I can figure, the signed agreement is thought to
absolve the female members of the coven for the crimes of the men who
will be having sex with her. Note that "all male members" must sign the
thing. Not just some or the one who will sexually initiate her. No no,
all men must sign it.
Page 189 – Forming and Running a Coven
Speaking about things that potential coven members must be told prior to joining, the Frosts list:
"Their bodies will be used in ceremonies that
a. sap the vital power,
b. are dangerous,
c. require sex with assigned partners."
Ok,
the above is just about sick enough to illustrate my point that Gavin
and Yvonne Frost knew exactly what they had instructed. Sure, in this
situation they are speaking about a hypothetical 16 year old, but
elsewhere they are clear that the average age of a coven member in a
coven that is 5 years old is 15 years of age. For there to be a 15 year
old in that coven, should this 16 year old join there would have to be
a 14 year old. If there were an elder in the coven, well do the math.
Children would have to be much, much younger than the average of 15 now
wouldn’t they?
But
there are other quotes from earlier in the book, which might cause one
to think that the illness runs even deeper. Note that above, they did
say the child was the "daughter" of a Wiccan couple. In chapter IV we
see other instructions concerning Wiccan children which might be
related to the above quote.
Chapter IV
"The
parents relinquish the spiritual guidance of the children to the coven,
and warn them that temporal authority will also soon be outside the
family. "
Oh, but it gets even worse.
Pregnancy - Page 181
"Towards
the end of their term, though, when they find they are unable to
participate fully in coven activities and are worried about the future,
they sometimes panic and sue for child support. Therefor, all single
women joining the coven must sign a release."
So as I
understand this instruction, it is sometimes necessary to bend or break
the law if you want to practice the Frosts Wicca. Sex with children is
illegal, so when you go around breaking the law you should make sure
the women folk are protected from charges of child molestation and rape
and you should be equally sure that the women joining the coven
(including the children evidently) sign a release protecting the men
folk from child support.
