Pagan Origins of 4th of July

thebeardedwitch:

Don’t let the history books fool you! What Americans call “Independence Day” was originally a Wiccan holiday that honored the ancient goddess of freedom, Independencia.
Independencia was a quadruple goddess that represented the four elements and the freedom Witches found in using the elements to honor the Horned God and Great Mother.
Great bonfires were lit and the (originally Pagan) early Americans would light their wands and sing in merriment of the obviously pagan Star Spangled Banner. The American flag is covered in 50 five-pointed stars to represent the 50 Wiccans that were burned at the stake in Salem by the British in 1692 (what is today called the Salem Witch Trials.) The thirteen stripes represent the Thirteen Truths of Paganism that are held sacred by Seventh Level Wiccan Priests such as myself.
Our founding fathers were Wiccan and they had escaped Europe during the Burning Times to set up a new nation that would honor one incarnation of our Goddess, Americana.
Sadly, Benedict Arnold betrayed our Founding Fathers and they were burned at the stake at the future site of the Statue of Liberty.
The Statue of Liberty is today a pagan shrine that honors our Wiccan origins. It was donated by the French High Priestess Marie Antoinette in 1793, shortly before her own murder at the stake by the Evil Christians.
The 4th of July is Pagan in origin and spans back several thousand years to when the ancient Wiccans were first given fire by Independencia, it’s name come from the ancient words ‘Fuorrha’, which means ‘Fourth’ and ‘Joulia’, which means ‘July’.
Remember our history and remember the sacrifice of our Pagan Founding Fathers!
Happy Fourth of July! Happy Fuorrha Joulia!
Blessed be! )O(
