No, I am roman catholic, but I have several friends that are wiccan and what not.


To each and their own.

My cousin used to practice Wicca. I don't think she is still actively practicing day to day, but a couple of weeks ago while we were out running errands, she told me, "Oh! I need to go home! It's a full moon and I need to do a spell." :eek: Whatever floats her boat I suppose.

I'm also a Roman Catholic, RB.

Are you implying that Wicca is wacka?

Man, it appears you all know a lot more about it than me... It sounds a little strange to me, but whatever... Is this a form of religion?

i had a teacher in high school that was a practicing wiccan. it's not so much about spells and witchcraft as it is worshiping nature, and yes, the moon.

Yeah it is a religion, about nature. Wiccan are confused with the crazy people in black at the mall that say they are witches. Wiccans (for the most part) are good kind people that believe in balance.

I don't doubt that, but I believe that what society is missing these days, are some good old-fashioned, randomly chosen scape-goats. Wiccans fill that role to a "T."

I am now declaring 9-11 to be the fault of Wiccans, even though they didn't do it.:p

In our colony days, we had a fella that turned out to be a practicing Wiccan.

Due to other reasons, he was told to leave.

His mom called our HQ and threatened lawsuit for mental anguish:D

Everyone had a good laugh.

I had a friend last year that "practiced" Wicca.....I don't think she quite got the point and purpose of it..she was more into the look of it I guess.

I was for a while back in 8 or 9 grade but everyone else who considedered themselves such pissed me off in just so many ways that I hate everyone of them now.

OP, were you really a Wiccan in 9th grade? That is very interesting. So, did you worship the moon, like really worship it? Can you practice Wicca and still be a Christian? If I am sounding ignorant or niave, I apologize.

krazy, I would suggest you check out http://www.witchvox.com You'll get more informative answers there, since there really isn't a large population of GC wiccans.

And Wiccans are different from people who practice traditional witchcraft. Wicca is a fairly new thing, even though it incorporates some practices and beliefs that are much, much, much older.

Yes er thanks Colonist. :rolleyes:
Anyway, on Wicca I believe I heard a great book on it and its surrounding discussion is 'Drawing Down the Moon'. I think that's the title. I haven't read it myself but have read v. good things about it some time back. As AchtungBaby80 pointed out it apparently is indeed a relatively new thing (latter part of 20th century).

ETA: Following a check on Amazon.com, that is the correct title.

Following a check on the retard-o-meter, you've scored very high.

Not sure how so? :confused:. The thread was about Wicca and some people asking about it. I recommended that book as apparently one of the best resources out there if people are interested in the subject.

How ironic.

Re: Wicca
 

People threw rocks at Wiccans when I was in high school.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Why so much harshness? Ya know, some people have the same feelings about Wiccan's as others do about Greeks, so man, chill :)

Another ironic statement..... so bigotry and ignorance are okay now....

Anyways I know quite a few wiccans around here at UofT, and I see alot of posers also. For the most part they are pretty accepting of other beliefs and practices and are more that happy to explain what they actually do. Ironically the place they have the most acceptance from is St. Mike's the Catholic college here on campus.

Oh yeah they can put together a pretty kick-ass party when they set thir minds to it :)

I consider myself as Judeo-Wiccan.

Only people who are accepting of other people's beliefs and not ignorant are allowed to make comments like that about others.

At my high school, the only acceptable forms of jewellery were school rings, stud earrings (and you can't have multiple piercings, either) and a religious symbol on your neck. One girl wore a Wiccan symbol and was almost suspended for doing so because the school chaplain thought it was a symbol for the devil.

It's a very thourough, well written book. Another very good book is "The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk. And anything by Silver Ravenwolf should be avoided like the plague...

I am a Christian. However I have known Wiccans, and a lot of people have misconceptions about it. It is NOT about worshipping Satan, or wearing goth clothes, or whatever. It is more about balance, and peace, and worshipping nature elements.

I *personally* don't believe in their religion...but if it works for them, that's cool. :)

No ,Russell, cracka is wacka. According to Whitney.

Sorry. Long day.

:)

It's not. I'm with ariesrising on this one.

Is it one of those new age things then?
