Worst sites about Wicca?

Question

Periodically people ask for recommendations for the best sites about Wicca. For a change, I'd like to ask for recommendations on the WORST sites about the religion -- sites that are inaccurate, insulting, inflammatory, or just plain hilariously bad.

So, what would you say are the worst sites about Wicca out there?

Answer 1

Well, other than Silver Ravenwolf's own site, I'd say Witchschool, The Frosts' site and wicca.com, the last one for confusing a generation of Newbies about Wicca and Celtic, by calling themselves the Celtic whatever and making their site Wicca.com...they win by annoyance....I think the other three can be dangerous. SRW used to have nonsense about listening to Mama Silver for kiddies and how not to listen to those who disagreed with her because they were fakes....That's not scary, that's dangerous.

Witchschool because I know people, too many people, burned hard by them, and The Frosts, well, you know. If you don't know, check here: http://www.haloscan.com/comments/jasonpitzl/1808692917004447627/#232064

The Frosts' promotion by the festival circuit is one reason why I don't participate in the festival circuit....not since my son was born.

[Yup. I've been practicing for over 20 years. I'm not exactly hidden about who I am. Even my websites are over ten years old. Credentials always available upon request from my publisher.]

Answer 2

I wonder what people think about my site? I don't mince words or call a shovel a spade. I see a huge need for Pagans to come together in numbers so that each can be counted and those numbers applied to changing the discrimination that is done in the name of the Christian God.

I had gotten the idea to set up a virtual church and to have people who have come out of the broom closet join with the idea that as a Pagan group we would use our numbers to effect change. Our numbers have always been hazy since so many are worried that someone else will find out and they will attack them or expose them to a rabid Christian community. What is funny is that there are few followers and lots of cheifs... so it is hard to get anyone interested in following because they all want to lead. I have no clue how to change this. I noticed that there were very few groups other than Circle Santuary and their assosciate groups that pushed the VA Pentacle adoption. Oh well,everyone needs to live their lives as they see fit.

Answer 3

Any site that claims they are a former Wiccan who has seen the depths of Wicca and knows it's really all about worshipping Satan and they're now a christian, blah blah blah..
Any Wiccan site that lays claim to Celtic heritage as the celts would roll over in their graves if they saw what Wicca does.

Anything by Silver Ravenwolf and anyone who quotes her as a valid source for Wicca.

Anyone claiming to have practiced Wicca for 20 or more years should be looked at spuriously.. very few wiccans have actually practiced it that long.

Any site that claims that Wicca and Witchcraft are the same thing.

Answer 4

I can't name any specifically, but of course the Christian ones that claim Wiccans are Satan worshippers are pretty ridiculous and show that they know zilch about the religion. There are also sites I can't stand that are all about the fluffy side of Wicca, all that "harm none" BS and total ignorance of the dark side of humanity.

Answer 5

Ouch, I wouldn't know, I always recommend books I've read. I stay away from Internet Wicca, I guess because of the commercialization of our beliefs, and all the glamor they seem to indulge in.

Answer 6

Go look at damn near ANY christian website regarding pagan beliefs. SO few have a clue what they're talking about.

My favorite is the Westboro Baptist Church site's page on it. Or the page they used to have up. apparently Pentagrams and Pentacles are TOTALLY the same thing now!

Answer 7

No recommendations Bob

Answer 8

Any that want money for "helping" you.

Lisa G. god must have told them they're the same.
