Wicca and Paganism

United States
December 31, 2006 5:05pm CST
Bright Blessings! I am new to myLot and was wondering where all the wiccan/pagans are. Who is practicing, who is curious, and who down right hates us? I am open to comments, questions, and even debate for all of you out there who think I am going to hell. I am a wiccan mother who has been practicing the Craft for almost 10 years and am raising my daughter in wicca.

an internet coven?!!? what a novel idea... right now I'm a solopractioner although I do know a few other practising wicca in my town. We do discuss stuff and pass ideas and whatnot back and forth and we'll do readings for each other but when doing and actual circle and such i prefer to do it alone.

I'm pagan (not exactly Wiccan). My path consists of both Celtic and Native American elements because of my dual heritage. I've been practicing... well, the first memory I have of learning my religion was when I was four years old, so I'll say 22 years. I have one son, but he will be raised with multiple religious ideas as my husband is quasi-Christian. Nice to meet you!

I cannot call myself a Wiccan at this current time, but I have studied the religion extensively for a number of years (among other religions, both pagan and not.) I started delving into religious research when I decided to find a religion I could connect with based on the beliefs I already have. The Christian faith does not mesh well -- at all -- with my belief system, but Wicca and other pagan religions are something I seem to connect with. Now it's a matter of further research and contemplation before I can decide on the appropriate spiritual path for me.

I blend Wicca with my Native American Spirituality. I think they fit together quite well. Blessed Be

I'm a self-proclaimed kitchen-witch and have been officially for 3 years now. It's got nothing to do with satanism and it's not that i don't believe in god.. .i do.. .but i also believe in balance... male/female... i also believe in the goddesses.. i have a native bent to my beliefs as well... kinda shamanistic due to the surroundings i grew up in. I have a bunch of stuff about wicca on my site (Silver Sity). I practice candle magik ceremonies on a regular basis and i grow herbs and put together mojo bags for people. I find it gives me a balance in my own life... a way to unwind and just get back to nature.

Hi luckBreak, I'm in the UK and would class myself as a sole Witch rather than Wiccan, I've been practising for about 5 years but had an interest in Witchcraft since I was very young. I'm looking to add friends who have interest in the Craft from all over. Peace and love

Hello. I am interested in Wicca/witchcraft paganism too. I haven't really declared myself any of those things...yet. I'm still in the learning stage. I have been reading various books for the past couple of years. I think this is a very interesting religion. I started a B.O.S a few years ago and I want to improve upon it. Do you have a B.O.S? Blessed Be!

I started to really learn about paganism, Wicca and other religions in my early 20's. I found that for me it gave me the balance I didn't have before with my religion. I personally believe that all gods are the same it's just a matter of how we precieve them. I believe there are many up there others might only believe in one. To each is own in my opinion. I have found with the internet it is a lot easier to meet others with similar beliefs where I might not have otherwise. It's also easier to find information one might be looking for. Yes it is also easier to find the ones who think we are going to hell in a handbasket but overall I think it's worth it.

Merry Meet and Bright Blessings to to a fellow Wiccan, it is nice to find a friend amongst the multitude of people. I have been practicing for 3 years now, I have my 1st Degree in Wicca and in Reiki and I love what Wicca has done for my life and my faith.

I am an agnostic occultist, but I support the craft of Wicca and believe it to be a very beautiful thing. There's much I don't know about it, but perhaps we can change that here on myLot.

I am wiccan,but unfortunatly not able to practice now. ive moved to care for my ailing grandmother, and since everything vaguely related to "witchcraft" is of course the work of the devil...i just packed everything into trunks and there it stays. i miss it very much, but this is her home and she is elder by far, and of course ill to boot...which means that if it offends her...then i dont do it/ or talk about it. Blessed Be.

I'm Italian. In my country Wicca is growing, but at the moment there are a few Wicca groups. I follow a "mediterranean path", I belive in Potnia Theron (the Great Mother). Unfortunately I don't know Pagans in my town and in my region, I know Pagans who live very far from me and as I'm very busy because my son is only 7 years old, I have no time for celebrations. Till now I went to a celebration (Beltaine) four years ago. My little son goes to church because his friends go to church and I decided to let him free to choose. I never go to church and he never asks me to go to church with him, I respect him and he respects me.

I'm a Wiccan and have been writing a blog on the subject for a while (it's listed as my homepage if anyones interested). Glad to see there are more Wiccans on here who are discussing the subject. Blessed Be.
