Wiccan teacher makes bargain with multiple Wiccan gods to win the Lottery. True?

"You let me win the lottery and I'll teach."
So did the Wiccan gods really give him the winning tickets?

Personally I think satan gave him the winning ticket so more people will turn to wicca and turn away from God.

Who knows really...
If theres something to it then some more
Wiccans will win.
If not then it was something nice to say to boost the Wiccan economy.

They must have, because the guy won the lottery right..

the money will likely be cursed. He certainly doesn't need the money for food......

I know of no evidence that lottery wins are distributed by any mechanism but chance. In other words, the hypothesis that supernatural entities intervene in the lottery process is not supported by the data.

I think this was just a lucky coincidence. Plus there's really no such thing as specifically "Wiccan" gods or goddesses. There are tons of pagan gods that Wiccans choose from (well it's a bit more complicated than that but I'm too lazy to go into that).

He is simply ascribing his good luck to his fictional deity of choice like many christians do everyday.. What's the big deal?

I congratulate him on his luck and hope he uses the money wisely unlike many lottery winners who go nuts...

Sorry but the reason he won is he got lucky. His God had nothing to do with it.

I said it before but I will say it again

what makes this person so special

Why is this any different from the millions of stories used to convert Christians every day

yes..the gods love him....330,000,000....thats real money!

Only insofar as God gave this guy a winning ticket, too:

"I just want to thank God for letting me pick the right numbers . . . or letting the machine pick the right numbers," he said as he claimed his check.


Personally no, I think it was more luck. But I hope he does with it what he said he would, and that his knowledge can be shared with others who will benefit from it.

I think I can answer this.

There are many religions on the earth; Wiccan is but one.

In Christianity, there is One God, but many presented Angels and Archangels, such as Michael being presented as but One of these.

Each seperate "entity"----or "division" of God, (or in bodily terms, a different limb of the Body of God so to speak) all are under the same Authority; meaning, there are many representatives of God, however they are all under the same One Authority... the One God, "The Father" (as Jesus put it), or in Jewish terms, Jehovia (?), or in other terms "Allah", "Ra", among others.

Jesus never discounted the network of Higher Beings----as I term the Angelic Kingdom---which are the same idea of having seperate "entity Gods", not excluding mythological times. (and not excluding the different Wiccan God(s).

I hope this is not too deep for your taste.

The answer to your question is... (if he really prayed and KNOWS it was a result of his/her prayer) than YES, it is a God granted thing, however don't think that Wiccan Gods are any different of a Being than the God Jesus, as well as many other "guru's" discussed.

Unconditional Love Rules; it is all the same; Love is Love. Therefore, "The Law" is Love: God is Love: All is Love in the Higher Realm(s).

Oh grow up.

if this man had been christian would it be such a big deal?

hilarious to the comment above mine about the food ...

guy looks really weird if you ask me

but, under christian faith the devil gave him that because under christian faith wicca/ witchcraft and paganism is worship of the devil

When I went fishing yesterday, I promised Neptune I'd praise his name if I caught a Walleye... I caught one two minutes later. Did Neptune send me a Walleye...?

Guess I better make bigger demands of deities, eh?
