Is Wiccan a true Religion?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. rick615 (327) 6 years ago

I have met a few witches on the net (the real kind). I know that the army now quietly acknowledges some Wiccan requests for God knows what (if you'll pardon the pun). Are there Pagen followers out there or others with an opinion about Wicca, witchcraft and the like as a bona fide religion?

Actually the armys chaplin handbook includes Wicca and Wicca is as of the mid 80's now a recognized religion as decided by a Federal Court if I'm not mistaken...

Paganism is a blanket term for earth type paths this ranges from modern Wicca (its only been around since the 1950s) and old school Witchcraft (which has been around for hundreds of yrs) and various other paths such as Native American and for some it simple is a term refering to NonChristians

Witchcraft which isnt the same as Wicca is a far older path than even Christianity..

As far as them being real (well Paganism cant be argued really), yes they are real bona fide religions/paths...and they are also very very misunderstood unfortunately...

Thanks for the education. I really appreciate the post.

I thought the army had acknowledged that, just wasn't sure of the details.

Wicca is a cult. The Bible warns us about things like witchcraft, magic, etc.
I believe people just find it interesting or they are rebellious against God. It is a dead-end path.

excuse me,first spring,whatever.b4 you do bash a religion down,i think that it would be wise to at first learn about the religion.Wicca is not an occult.it is an earth based religion.and thanks to Hollywood that is why ppl think that witches and wiccans are evil and of the devil.for it is not of the devil.we dont believe in such an unexisting spirit.a spirit that has never b4 existed how must i ask you can we worship something that doesnt even exists?i therefore that you type into a search engine and search wicca religion.and read,read,read,read,and read.DO NOT MISS NO LINES OR PHRASES!get all in your head.than come back maybe and see if you think you have the right to bash a religion down.
May the Lord and the Lady both bless you,

i am a Wiccan myself.i tend to call myself more a witch though.but anyway.my opinion on the Wicca religion is very simple.it is an earth based religion,and there is a belief in the God and the Goddess.and you abide by the witches Rede you must.and one of the biggest laws of the Rede is to harm none,but do unto others as you wish.as saying,as long as you harm none ,do what ye must.the Wicca religion,is the oldest religion,and probably the first religion ever on the earth....it takes over the christianity religion,and the christians,have devoted their beliefs from our sabbots which is holidays that we practice on,and turned them into their holidays as well,as is christmas,easter,halloween.and so forth.there aare many different types of wiccans that believe in the religion differently.some follow the religion the old wise way,or some than again do the practices amongst themselves that suits them the best for their practices.that is the line that i lay of course.this is called eclectic wiccans.meaning,you dont abide by the rules of the religion,you take it from different aspects of the culture and fit it in to your needs.
many thanks for your question my friend,that's what this forum or site whatever is here for.is to ask questions to get the valueable answers that you need to learn what you are in front of in your life.it never hurts to ask one soul how is this or that?but to not ask,is simply unhealthy for the learning of the new path that one may decide to take.
Blessed be,
Hecate's Witch)O(
