STOP, part 1: Cafe Druids, Suburban Shamans, and all the other retards.

"Condescending meet" has me giggling like a ninny!

Also, "May Tucson smile upon you". 

Fact: I've actually used that to my ex's face.  didn't feel weird at all either!

[LMNO]

Oh god, ESPECIALLY the "Merry meet" part. What the fuck IS that, anyway? And "Bright blessings"?

Also, the loud talking. Sweet merciful shitfuckdamn. NOBODY CARES. Nobody is going to be impressed to overhear you talking about your stupid fucking rituals and religion. NOBODY is going to be all, oooooh, she's a witch! NOBODY FUCKING CARES SHUT UP.

We need to come up with our own.

Vile Blessings.

Condescending Meet!

*punch in the face*  <---  This is actually traditional among my ancestors, and if you can't handle that, then you must be on some kind of judgemental trip.

I prefer a low growl, with a curled lip and a frown.

I just point and start screaming "WITCH!!!!"

I have to admit, I did join in a pagan May Day ritual a few years ago... after expressly telling the people asking that they probably wouldn't want my goddess there... and dropping hints as everyone was getting ready that Eris would probably make something bad happen. I kept looking up at the sky nervously, looking around as though something terrible was about to happen and, as planned, that unease spread.

About halfway through the ritual, the skies opened up and dumped a torrent of rain on all of them. They never invited me to join them for another ritual.

STOP digging up dead Native Americans to "get in touch with your heritage". 

What about digging up dead Native Americans to "get in touch with" our human "heritage" anthropologically?  Or at least anthropology is my excuse to dig up people and study their bones.

There's not really a whole lot of good reasons to go digging up indian graves.

Old settlements, however, are plenty interesting.

Around here, they do dig at burials, and they get a lot of information out of them (mostly from the really old tribes, like the Hohokum).

When they're done, they carefully place everything back exactly where it was, and bury the site.

A friend of mine out here is an archaelogist, and her job is to determine whether or not a find at a construction site is "significant".  If it isn't, then the backhoes come in, the grave goes into fill, and the WalMart goes up.

This is why the grave of Cochise will never be found.

Yeah, "Contract Archaeology" is very big in BC, since there are so many archaeological sites.  Before any digging anywhere happens, an Archaeologist has to come in and check for any remains...  Since most places are built over old settlements anyway, lots of arguments happen.  In Oak Bay on Vancouver Island, there's a ridiculous lawsuit happening about a woman who is upset that her water heater had to be on a main floor instead of in a basement (which she wasn't allowed due to the human remains there.)

TL;DR: What TGRR said.

And this could just as easily be a metaphor for the whole of America.

Yep.  I've said this before.  We built this nation on bones.

I almost did that and just couldn't quite

  I have to confess that 10 years ago I fancied myself a bit of a suburban shaman...luckily that trend quickly reversed itself.
