the devil eh? allow me to shed some light on this horrible case of ignorance.

wicca (more commonly called witch-craft) is a life affirming, positive religion that bases itself around the native religions of the celts and vikings. they worship "the goddess" which is a representation of mother earth (in a nutshell). They believe the cycle of the seasons respresent the cycles of life.

yes, ok, they practice "magic" which is sometimes pretty potent. but no more, say, than some serious prayer. the little old lady on her knees, counting rosary in front of the virgin mary is apretty powerful force to be reconed with. think of their magic as prayer with props like incense and such.

Im not wiccan, but this is what i picked up doing a little research a few years ago for a school project, and my aunt is wiccan, so i do have a bit of knowledge on the subject.

i can suggest some good books on the topic if you would like.

you didnt give an oppinion, you gave a false statement. Witch craft is not devil worship. The offical wiccan stance on the devil: "he's the judeo/christians creation, they can keep him." I have never known a wiccan to commit any act of violence or ill will towards anyone else or any living being for that matter.

In fact, they are some of the nicest, more accepting people ive ever met.

so perhaps we should shake off the blind acceptance of our preacher/priest/rabbi's word on things and actually look into them for ourselves

The whole idea of witches, werewolves and what have you are created from moldy old rye bread. Back in the day in colonial america the frame of mind was extremely religious and reserved. The bread people would eat was usually rye bread, and when rye seeds mold they can become as halucinagenic as LSD. This was the cause of the Salem Witch Trials when a number of young girls were accusing each other of witchcraft.

I know that in high school all the witch craft kids wore all black and played Magic: The Gathering or whatever that thing is called. One kid carried a sack around his neck with sand or something in it. And he claimed he would curse some of us if we didn't stop messing with him.

Tex: Those weren't witch craft kids, they were try hard goth wannabes.


I'm a Christian and a really good friend of mine is wiccan. I don't have a problem with that, I don't get a feeling that she is worshipping satan or anything like that. It's just like my hindu friend or my jewish friend..sure I don't believe the same thing but I don't get the feeling that they are bad people.

Oh ok. I guess we thought wrong then. The kid kept saying he was into witchcraft though. Anyway, my mistake.
