Well that is the first time I've ever been called a threat to others. First, Wiccans do not believe in the devil, satan or whichever name you want to call him - that belongs to another belief system. Secondly, like others try to live best by their religious standards we try our best to live by the Wiccan Rede - "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will".
Also not all Wiccans practice the Craft. You can be a Wiccan without being a witch.
Personally I don't see where we are any more a threat to society than any other religious group.

I never knew that we did? Where are you getting your information from? And it is Wiccans, Thank-You
Does this sound like a threat? read it and learn
The Wiccan Rede.....................
Bide the Wiccan Laws we must In perfect love and perfect trust.
Live and let live, Fairly take and fairly give, Cast the Circle thrice about To keep the evil spirits out.
To bind the spell every time, Let the spell be spake in rhyme.
Soft of eye and light of touch, Speak little, listen much.
Deosil go by the waxing moon, Chanting out the Witches' Rune.
Widdershins go by the waning moon, Chanting out the baneful rune.
When the Lady's moon is new, Kiss the hand to her, times two.
When the moon rides at her peak, Then your heart's desire seek.
Heed the North wind's mighty gale, Lock the door and drop the sail.
When the wind comes from the South, Love will kiss thee on the mouth.
When the wind blows from the West, Departed souls will have no rest.
When the wind blows from the East, Expect the new and set the feast.
Nine woods in the cauldron go, Burn them fast and burn them slow.
Elder be the Lady's tree, Burn it not or cursed you'll be.
When the wheel begins to turn, Let the Beltane fires burn.
When the wheel has turned to Yule, Light the log and the Horned One rules.
Heed ye Flower, Bush and Tree, By the Lady Blessed be.
Where the rippling waters go, Cast a stone and truth you'll know.
When ye have a true need, Hearken not to others' greed.
With a fool no season spend, Lest ye be counted as his friend.
Merry meet and merry part, Bright the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind the Threefold Law you should, Three time bad and three times good.
When misfortune is enow, Wear the blue star on thy brow.
True in Love ever be, Lest thy lover's false to thee.
Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An ye harm none, do what ye will.

Wickens are the folks that make and repair wicker chairs for your home and patio...
Wiccans are the witches and they cause a threat by using demonic power to do their witchcraft..
There are only two sources of spiritual power, God and the devil.. If it doesn't come from God then it is the devil.

i feel that wickens do not hurt today's society, wickens do not hurt people it is against their religion and they believe in protecting nature, they would not harm anyone. if a wicken was hurting you or someone you know they would be going against their religion.

No Wiccans (you've misspelled it ) do not believe in doing harm. Check out even on the web..3 fold law says everything we do returns to us 3 times. The Wiccan Path is one of harmony and balance. It is one of respect for all...and not just people but all living things...including everything on Mother Earth....opposite of what you imply in your question.
It is easy to research this..don't take my word..find out for yourself. Someone is stearing you wrong or else you are deliberately trying implant misinformation.

2 Kings 9:22: [When Joram saw Jehu he asked, "Have you come in peace, Jehu?" "How can there be peace," Jehu replied, as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?"] Wicca is a form of witchcraft, and witchcraft is a sin. Any sinful thing can cause disaster.

Might help if you spell their name correctly. And using witchcraft is less of a "threat to others in society" than parading around at soldiers' funerals because "God hates f-gs."
