I do not share their belief in magical forces, but I have nothing but admiration for those people I know who follow the pagan paths. Much of what they believe is beautiful. And their central rede, which says to "do what you will, but harm none" is an excellent moral precept. Best of all, they don't want to take away anyone else's right to believe as they will. They just want to be free to practice their faith as they like and allow others to do the same.

I'm not quite sure about Wicca. Since I have not the knowledge or experience with it, I do not know if their spells truly work or not. So long as they follow the creed of (is it) "'An it harm none, do as thou wilt" I don't have a problem with it. I'm sure there are some bad apples that practice it though, just as there are in all other religions.

All of the Wiccans I've known are wonderful people. Their numbers are growing year by year (it's one of the fastest growing religions, I've heard) so to me that suggests a lot of people are more open-minded to Wicca and other pagan religions nowadays.

I think Wicca is a fine religion, but I must admit to knowing very little about it. I think many people look down on it or are afraid of it, because they don't know much about it, or because they mistakenly identify it with Satanism. Hopefully, these views will be changing soon.

It has been around LONGER than Christianity, and I have not met a bad Wiccan yet. In fact, my wife's grandmother is a 4th level Wiccan priestess, and she is a VERY neat lady! I love her to pieces!
I don't personally follow Wicca, but I do follow one of their base tenets:
An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will
So Blessed Be!

Nothing good about it from a Christian standpoint!
When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD -Deuteronomy 18:9

I practice Krishna consciousness. We understand they worship the dimi-gods for mystic power. We are notinterested in this temporary benefit. It only brings one back to the material world again. Mystic power is a subtle material thing nothing spiritual about it though many think it is spiritual due to the subtle nature of it.

i find it to be rather a peaceful religion ... anything involving nature is ok in my book
and i have yet to meet a Wiccan who hasnt been lovely and respectful of others
note for fish ( above ) ... on the contrary ... it is rising in numbers as are many pagan faiths

I know a few Wiccans. All are very nice people, they believe in "do no harm" and they don't try to push their faith on me in any fashion.
I've never met any that were willfully ignorant as are so many christians, so I have no beef with Wiccans.

Wicca is a bunch of hippies and free minds. That's my kind of crowd, lol.
Blessed be.
