Abraham was just the first one to give many gods the finger and follow a more charismatic figure that did more for him; than all the gods of mesopotamia. i think three hundred people plus is still considered a group, unless servents don't count as people, but we'd still have him and his family, with lot and his family; before coming across the caanite's el and well, we have the first given name, Elohim for his god, negating the original basis of El.
or haven't you heard of the melding pot theories when several cultures meet. quick; without google...who was a caananite king?
but you know the difference between moses and abraham.  |
Two things, Gardener and Wicca is a very complex and involved thing. But Witchcraft is not a religion, it is folk Magic. So While Wicca is a religion that practices magic, Witchcraft is just magic without religion.
Two is that just because an idea or belief is taken from somewhere else, does not validate it or invalidate it. The belief will work or it won't, depending on your ability to accept it and your own personal growth.
I don't see why I should know who was a Canaanite King, we only go by what we are taught and what interests us. I never really had a great deal of interest in the Christian Mythology, but I was taught parts of it anyway. So yes I know the difference between Abraham and Moses, and apart from Cain the Biblical founder, I have no idea about Canaan.
