St. Christopher is not a Wiccan
I'm bidding on a St. Christopher medal that depicts him as the Greeks sometimes do - a dog-headed man.
The seller is an idiot, though (or at least trying to sell to idiots): "This one is NOT Christian though, but rather the Wiccan St. Christopher. THIS St. Christopher is said to be a descendant of Cynocephali - a race of giant dog-headed men. Yes he does hold a cross."
There is no such thing as a Wiccan St. Christopher. The very image on the medal was copied from art on the wall of an Eastern Orthodox Church. I recognize the picture.
Furthermore, Cynocephali was a derogatory term used to describe foreigners as dog-headed barbarians (the Greeks just took it literally). They were not some gay fantasy dog race out of a TOR novel or a shitty Llellewyn book.
Dear Stupid Wiccans, you make non-stupid pagans look like morons. I'm not even pagan, and I'm offended on their behalf at your ignorance. Just google "St. Christopher dog" It takes 5 min. You don't need to be a member of the literati to figure this shit out.
Last but not least, if you want to co-opt dog-headed St. Christopher, go ahead. But admit you're doing it. Own that. If my 75 year old priest with the oxygen tank can openly cop to the fact that the Church stole Halloween from the pagans, you can admit that dog-headed St. Christopher is fucking Eastern Orthodox.
