ok a simple question for everybody! (ha ha yeah right)
paganism is a general term for all the many paths that each of us walks in some way or form!

i know for some this might seem an impossible question, but for the sake of all arguments (which i know ppl like to do) lets say that you can only pick 1 symbol to represent the term...

PAGANISM

what would it be?

An umbrella

Can't better that.

interesting... definitely sums up the term!

Nice one Cos! of course my innate cynicism coupled with having spent a lot of time around pagans would suggest this -

perhaps you could replace the stick with a folded brolly?

An excellent compromise sir!

:brollysmack:

Could catch on!

Like that a lot Cos, only problem is that it might look like an upside down Thor's hammer.

mike

not if we make it multicoloured

:multi-colouredbrollysmack:

I like it. But it would be hard to have it animated like the smilie, if it were a badge and I feel the effect may be somewhat lost then.

hell yeah! green,blue,yellow,red!

*quickly copyrights the badge idea*

coming to all pagan shops near you!!! only £9.99

Just read on another forum about National Slap A Colleague Day.

If we hit them with coloured brollies, we could claim we were performing a religious duty.

Then they couldn't arrest us (could they?)

As promised:

Oh fantastic!

thats sooo cool

Yay!

And of course an umbrella can also double as an athame.....

[runs away very fast....]

Glad you all like it - I must get around to designing some smilies for fool's forum one day

Yes you are so right hehe love it

What about a question-mark as a symbol for Paganism?

Since I've not yet come across a reasoanble definition that covers Paganism, a question-mark would seem like an apt symbol.

:multi-colouredbrollysmack:

Excellent



:-) Doubt it. That would require the Christian churches to change, which is impossioble.

I like the brolly smack, it's great - are we having that added to the emoticons list, then?

Well deebs is welcome to add it. There are no copyright issues as its one of mine.
