The Llewellyn Encyclopedia

Term: Once Born

DEFINITIONS

Once Born:

An early derogatory expression—used by some Wiccans at the beginning of Wicca’s modern growth—for Christians. It was to refute the Christian claim that they were “born again” and used to indicate that Christians want to get off the natural cycle of reincarnation and that this life is their first incarnation. This is in distinction to Pagans who have the advanced knowledge and development of multiple incarnations and lifetimes.
