I like the study of religions and have studied about Wicca, but lost interest do to several of the people I met.

I recently moved to a lovely area that is largely Wiccan, five generations or more. I am impressed with how stable the people and their communities are. But, I cannot seem to find anything of interest in the Wiccan women my age. They are ballsy and bland at the same time, bold, yet ineffective. Can't put my finger on it. Wiccans don't seem to belong to the global community. They tend to narrow their perspectives down to herb gardens and walks along chilly flagstones in the rain.

I am Wiccan. As for why, I studied many world religions after realizing that Christianity was a round hole to my square peg...Wicca was like coming home. It is spiritually fulfilling to me in way that none of the other religions were.

Every religion has its fanatics and dumbasses, and Wicca is unfortunately no exception.
It is a very lovely and moral religion, from what I have observed on the most part. The Wiccan Rede is a good code to live by.

I used to. But then I saw their version of a bible (I forgot what it is actually called) and realized that it is strict. I take some of my ideals from it, but created my own type. Yes, I believe in magik and am polytheistic, most of my prayers probably resemble wiccan more than anything, but do not want set rules to define how to live. I think if a person acts morally, it is the right thing. I may not have any set religion, but I have had too many answered prayers and coincidences to not have faith in what I believe in.

Given that I'm Wiccan, yes.
I became interested in it because it's far more balanced than the Christianity in which I was raised. It also puts the power to shape your life in your hands - none of this laying it all in God's hands and letting "him" take care of it (notice, also, that it's "him" in Christianity, not "her"). In Wicca, the Goddess and God expect you to be proactive about bettering your own life. You're a driver, not a passenger.
Blessed be!

I am a neo-pagan but not a Wiccan. Still, I like learning about Wicca because it helps me to better understand others in my local neo-pagan community. I respect those who follow that path and enjoy learning about it.

Though I practice Witchcraft, I do not practice the Wiccan religion because the worship of many deities conflicts with my own personal beliefs. All of my Wiccan friends, though are absolutely lovely people who I learn very much from.
Blessed Be

Sort of. I'm Pagan, so I get lumped with them a lot. I'm just not all that interested in the whole "legitimacy though secrecy" thing. I'm not really a coven kind of person, but I do occasionally like to talk to them. It's the whole respect thing. Not many people waste a whole lot of respect on people who disagree with them.

Had. Mostly gone now.
The most annoying thing is that people think it's some ancient religion. It was started only about 50 years ago.
