Beware Christian Day, Pagan Predator

I had just logged in to make a post, and got word of something that I need to pass along. My original post will have to wait for another time.
I want to warn everyone about a tool named Christian Day, a member of the Salem pagan scene who has recently started posting private information about people publicly, including real names. When one of the women he outed informed him that she used a pseudonym because of a deranged, violent stalker, he replied “I hope your stalker has some fun with you,” and “Oh, and by the way, if he rapes you please call out my name while he does so.”
As far as I am concerned, that makes him an attempted rapist. I advise you all to share no troth, or personal information, with this tool.
Mr. Day, you are a nidhling. A contemptuous, honorless troll. Three ises I give thee, and three thurses too. Let all wights hear this nidhing, and give you no peace until you make amends.

Appalling, offensive, and intolerable

Appalling, offensive, and intolerable

9/3/2014

I'm a bit at a loss for words right now. A couple of colleagues and then my partner just shared with me an online exchange that frankly makes the contents of my stomach roil -- and I've been on the receiving end of quite a bit of misogynistic and/or virulent attacks. My partner has written about the specifics here, and provides a screen cap of the offensive comments.

Basically, we have a self-styled "elder" (though I can hardly think of anyone who deserves that appellation less and he's certainly no one of worth, let alone an elder, in any tradition that I practice) Christian Day who recently 'outed' a number of witches in an online forum for working under pseudonyms. When one of these women contacted him pointing out that she was being stalked and harassed to particularly dangerous levels and that she used a pseudonym for her safety, he not only dismissed her comments, but went on to say that he hoped her stalker was successful and that she should call out his (Christian's) name when she was being raped.

Yes. you read that correctly.

This is vile, disgusting, unconscionable.

This is completely unacceptable in any human being but it is especially so in someone who claims a leadership position. Elders and leaders have a sacred trust to their traditions and to their people. Making himself and his co-religionists a laughing stock over an actor's intoxicated rambles is one thing, this is quite another.

I really hope for the sake of Paganism that there is a massive outcry over this and that he faces consequences from his own people. Those in the traditions he practices deserve better in their leaders. So what are you going to do? 


Edit: Wayland Skallagrimson chimes in most emphatically here.

Another day, another BNP behaving badly.

Following on the heels of Z. Budapest’s incendiary remarks, news is circulating that Christian Day, a prominent figure in the Salem, Mass. occult and pagan scene you may remember from his attempt to curse Charlie Sheen, has been sharing people’s private information in a public venue. When contacted by one of the people he “outed” who explained that among the many reasons she used a pseudonym was to elude a violent and threatening stalker, the “world’s best-known warlock” responded as follows:

Yes, you read that correctly. This guy actually said:

I hope your stalker has some fun with you.

As well as:

Oh, and by the way, if he rapes you, please call out my name while he does so.

I am sickened beyond words. This vile creature’s ego is so bloated with hubris that he believes not only that speaking to an abuse-survivor in such a way is permissible but that he will suffer no consequences, either professionally or magically, for doing so.
Perhaps it’s time to show him otherwise.
