I have been reading up on wicca for years now and I think the belief system is fascinating. We all have heard about the "born again Chrsitians" and how they feel enlighted. I was wondering why did you select wicca and how has it helped your life? Anyone hindered by it and left it? Thanks

I found Wicca three years ago after being a Christian for 21 years. I can't begin to describe how much difference it has made. I'm happier and more confident in myself, no longer burdened with constant guilt over "bad" thoughts or not praying enough times a day or missing church on Sundays when I was too tired to drag myself out of bed after working the day before.
The absolute beauty of Wicca is the closeness I feel with nature and with the earth, as well as the release involved in doing what I see fit, whatever I want to do, without fretting over whether or not I'm offending "God". I know that my Goddess doesn't mind one bit when I have sex with my boyfriend, and that's fine with me! :)

Wicca gave me a door into exploring other religions outside of the "big 3" (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) proving there CAN be a balance with being environmentally aware and spiritual at the same time, and it can be a logical balance. Studying various pantheons was very enlightening about the real nature of human interaction with the god/goddesses realms and nature, etc. VERY enlightening... I eventually wound up at the feet of the Buddha (not literally). Wicca and neo-Paganism are very respectable in my opinion and quite logical in their own ways.

I am no longer what I would consider Wiccan but still Pagan. I started with Wicca and it helped me find the real me which brought me peace of mind and a lot of understanding of the world around me. To date I don't think I have ever been hindered by being Pagan.

I think Wicca is the most beautiful religion there is. Too long of a story, just saying that.

I was involved in a near fatal car accident, and my Faith in Wicca, in my Gods, and in myself helped me to pull thru, and learn to walk again.
I wouldn't have lived with out it.

I was an atheist for many years, but then I came across wicca and it reaffirmed my faith in the divine.

Not wiccan but i love the concept of spell casting, usally when i meditate my spells are at thier peak, when i dont meditate they fail or backfire, so its a mixture of my own version of Wiccan, Buddhism and Taoism

Every Wiccan I have met has been a warm, thoughtful, and intelligent individual.

it looks like some crazy stuff they do, twisting their own ego, self-destruction un-normal from the head
