I know that wiccan is not the same as Satan worship but sometimes it still bothers me. I have never had an immediate neighbor into wiccan/witchcraft before. Hopefully, we will live in peace?

I do not wear a cross. I use other symbols of Christianity, such as a fish.

Hmm, if it were me I guess it would mean being kind and friendly and maybe get to know her as a person, but also don't compromise on your own beliefs.

A pentagram is for most a symbol of protection. Others describe it as a symbol of the 5 elements. Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit.
There is no need to be concerned for that reason alone. As with any group there are bad people but no more than any other.
As with any earth-based-religion they celebrate the cycles of life and death. The cycle of the sun and moon and the seasons.
Education is so important. There are many great sites but I'm not at my computer or I'd list several. If you search under Wicca or paganism you should learn a lot. I recommend beliefnet.com and religioustolerance (com or org???) That will introduce you to all kinds of faiths.
Blessed Be

You shouldn't be concerned with your neighbor. If your neighbor truly does practice wiccan you will be able to live in peace with him/her. Most of the rules they follow go along with most of the christian faith. One of their #1 rules is what you put out, will be returned 3 fold. If your nice it will be returned 3 fold back to you, same if you do wrong and so on. Usually most who wear the pentagram symbol are Gothic or just wear it because they think it's cool. I really wouldn't worry to much about.

No.
Wiccans and witches are "normal" people. I think you might be pleasantly surprised at how nice this person probably is. They aren't violent people so there's no reason why you won't be able to live in peace with this person.
Take the initiative and do some research on the web or in your library and find out more about wicca/witchcraft. You'll find out that they're nothing like Satanism at all.
Don't avoid her/him. Say "hi" or nod when you pass and be friendly. There's no reason that you can't come to a middle ground with your neighbor.

We are no threat to u or any for that matter. I personally take offense when other members of your faith tell me that I and others of my faith worship this Satan character. For to give Evil a name is to give power real or imagined. And anyone (Wiccan or Christian) puts a curse on someone they invite their own sorrow in so doing. Its like the law of motion: For ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
My suggestion is that u try and get to know ur neighbor, and maybe that will set your fears to rest.

Yes you should... you need to start praying for them all the time that God will enlighten them to the evil of their ways. And you need to present yourself in their eyes as a child of God (assuming you are). Nothing can change things like prayer.
And wiccan, and witchcraft, is of Satan. No matter what you call it, it's still of the occult.

Dearheart, if living in peace is all you want then that's what you'll have. Wiccans do not worship Satan, nor do they sacrifice anything. Your neighbor is probably just as worried about you as you are about her.

Do not be concerned she will probably not harm you. I know I have never done anything to my Christian neighbors. Blessed be (thats a Wiccan blessing).

Why don't you ask your neighbour about his/her beliefs to get a better understanding of it, before you dismiss it out of hand. Do you really know what wicca is all about first-hand? Do some independant research and don't just rely on hearsay. You may find that you have more in common with him/her than you think. Be open-minded. It doesn't mean you have to practise it, just learn about it.

why would you be concerned?
i'd try to get to know her, ask about the pentagram and let her explain what being wiccan means to her. (she could possibly become a good friend)

No, you shouldn't be worried. People who practice Wicca are earth based... they believe in the power of the earth, and the rule of threes. If they cause harm to people it will come back to them three times worse. It is a basic law in their religion. Don't be worried at all. In fact I'd go and introduce yourself. If you're curious, ask if they don't mind if you ask some questions because you're curious.
