But it was clearly a big deal to Willow and Tara otherwise she would've told them that she got the blood from a handy deer.
true. And while I see your arguement about eating meat, there's just something that bothers me about sacrificing an animal. Hmm, maybe if they'd had venison for dinner, I'd feel better.
And, as I understand it, the Wiccan religion believes that whatever you do, comes back to you seven fold. So, they are anti-sacrifice.
Oy. The Willow debate comes up again.
eh. it's summer, we're bored. Time to rehash. :)
Vortex just made me hungry.

Er, wasn't it supposed to?

Threefold, IIRC. But the point is still valid -- you do something, and it's going to whammy back on you.

Yeah, B, but I was responding to KatieM's statement:
If you're willing to kill an animal to eat it, I can't get morally up in arms about killing an animal in order to bring your friend back from the dead.
Not to change the subject, but quick question -- someone's tagline made me wonder: was Anya's last word (at least onscreen, which is all we have to go by) "bunnies"?
I think it was, which is really funny.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was.

Willow clearly wasn't Wiccan, though - look at her reaction in Hush (she's interested in magic, not philosophy) and Forever (yeah, that's it, it's wrong... am I giving the right answer, sweetie?)
I dunno. I blame her for not investigating the consequences of her spell, but other than that... I mean, I don't believe in Heaven either. If I had the power to bring one of my dearest friends back from the dead, I would find the urge well-nigh impossible to resist, though I'd like to think I'd check up on the question of whether said bringing back was likely to do something Very Very Bad first. (I'd certainly have talked to Giles, for instance.)
Willow clearly wasn't Wiccan, though -
I know, that's why I emphasized "religion" in my post. I was tying to communicate that some folks may be attributing wiccan _religious_ philosophy/characteristics to Willow, because she practiced magic.
I am sucking at getting my point across today. It's probably the hangover. I'll be quiet now.
