Crazy Fucks

what the hell is that?

of coarse it cant be proved!!!

Haven't picked a religion but it ranks right up there with me. The peacefulness and the nature consciousness of it ranks high. Also, it seems like a very empowering religion as opposed to the dispowering beliefs of original sin and an angry sadistic god

Ehh!!! Devil Worship!!!

All it is,is Paganism with a fancy names! People are scared of the word witchcraft and decide "Arrrrgh! It's Evil!". Nothing wring with it though ;)

Wicca is a Sissyfied rip off of older pagan beliefs, Around 90 years ago, Gardner made up the religion when he took paganism,cut it's balls off, forced it to wear a dress and heels, and called it Wicca

Very non-judgemental, flexible belief system, non dogmatic. Big on personal responsibility. I am NOT Wiccan but know many.

totally wrong!!!

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

watered down paganism at best

Most TRUE wiccans are kind respectable people

Can't we just appreciate nature without the need to worship and/or control it?

Uhh don't you mean cult!!

Whatever its origins, In Wicca we have an attempt to harness magic ( one most oldest known of only a few holistic systems that realize the awesome potential of Humanity's creative potential, what in my opinion may be our quantum intelligence birthright) into an ordered system using the order and harmonic balance observed in nature as a logical framework.This is good what is bad is the persistent tendency to deify numerous spirits and defer to superstitious traditions that constrict the outlook of seekers. A neo feminist arrogance has also settled into this movement that smacks of the ancient serpent cult's influence. It is probably sad that Christian persecution of both magic practice and ironically it's more inquisitively methodical and consensus oriented cousin the Scientific methods so successfully, I wonder if humanity might be further along in understanding it's ultimate place in the universe and have a better sense of our priorities and I'm sure as individuals and communities would be more equipped to deal with potential threats from the known and the unknown.

used to be one =P

depends on the convictoin of it is it good ?

I may not be Wicca myself, but I find wicca to be a very sensual and natural religion. When practiced with caution and extreme devotion the effects can be amazing....

Just another tool of the devil.

obviously I'd think so-but I am also a solitary practioner, and if I feel that I need insight, I pray and chant, as I am a solitary practioner-initially, 12yrs. ago, I referred to several books about Wicca(mostly Celtic and Nordic) in order to understand it-however, now that I'm grown, am able to seek advice from my guide, and "travel" to the astral plane, I do not seek insight or advice from "men", cuz who kno's if Gardener was right?! not one person in my opinion, n u also have ppl that used manipultion in order to to "create" what they wished to happen(I'm speaking of Aleister Crowley, just for example-there have been others that do that as well, but Crowley is most well known to most ppl)-tho, at this point in time(for bout 12yrs. now) this is my chosen path, so I do recognize that I'm biased

ummmmm....NO

Another attempt of humans to deny the Sovereignty and Uniqueness of the God of the Bible. Contains many practices and teachings which go against the word of God, therefore, heretical.

Other than Satanism, this religion contains the most untrustworthy and misled people in my opinion - also evil.

I fully understand Wicca, and dabble a bit, but I am not a devoted practioner.
The nice thing about Wicca is you can fine tune it to your lifestyle.

I have a problem with this one too. Mainly it's the followers, and not the religion. This could be why I'm not a Wiccan though. But on to my point, I doubt that if you decide you are a Wiccan that all of a sudden you can work 'magic' whether it be from earth or no. It's all these Harry Poter maniacs who can't destiguish reality and they go and join a group of people who actually understand the religion. It makes me want to punch babies...
Mainly, I'm saying that the new 'members' who claim to be wiccan are onlydoing so to gain attention or to feel like somebody special in this world of chaos.

Better than christians. not saying much.

Made up by some friggin tree huggin hippies.

like witch stuff!?!?!

GO WITCHCRAFT!

I believe that if you believe this as your truth, you are sadly mistaken and demons and devils will play with you and make you think it is GOD.

I'm not exactly Wiccan, too many that I know are "fluffy bunny" type. But it's a good place to start learning!

I'm just glad Jesus came..... Who do they call God?

Pretty absurd as far as I'm concerned.

Had to do some work with my comment, as I was unhappy with it's wording!!! Regards Pug 05/28/2008 2:00pm

Wicca is affiliated to early witchcraft and Druids. There are some fundamentals from witchcraft, but not all of it.(It has a bit of everything in it!!) I would say it is a watered down/re-worded version of witchcraft, something like the New Age Movement! (The new age being a re-hash of Buddhism, Hinduism and Paganism.) For a Christian it is referred to as paganism and is far from Christ. Many who get mixed up in this do not realize its origins and think that it is nothing but health and fun! (Sorry but it is very different from that.) All you need to do is go into the history of Wicca and you will quickly find how it was created. (It has disguised its origins.) Always look at the fundamentals of something before you commit yourself, otherwise you won't understands its real purpose!

If I could buy stock in Wicca as an up and coming religion, I would. Green everything is super hip right now - why wouldn't this extend to areas of faith as well?

They may put the Kook in KooKoo for Cocopuffs but they seem like they're having a good time.

I could care less what they believe, in much the same way I care less what Lutherans, Buddhists, Free Kirks, or whatever else believe.

No thank you!

Eh, it comes down to mind over matter. Rituals are merely tools to convince the mind. Every religion has a few thrown in. Even movies use a few techniques to manipulate your minds attention as do sales people.

Who knows what power a mind holds when it believes in something. The power of the mind is the 'magic'. For this reason be cautious in what you believe.

GenghisTheHun - How can you talk about the people who were killed in the burning times like that..."stamped out". Innocent people were hunted down and burned at the stake for the sake of the "age of enlightenment". These people were knowledgeable of plants, herbs and natural healing - and they were murdered for it. Thousands of women and children. But of course the organized religions would never admit or talk about that. I attended a Catholic school for 12 years and came out Wiccan. That should say something. Not once in history class were we taught of the burning times - when so many people died. Have a little respect for the dead, and open your mind to other beliefs. It is because of people like you that we have wars based on religion. All paths lead to the same god. Maybe one day you'll realize that. And if people want to have funny bumper stickers of a Wiccan nature (I sell them ) then so be it! What about all the bumper stickers I see about WWJD? (What would Jesus do?). But that's okay insn't it? Because it's the norm - it's not "different". Grow up.

Silly, but less so than the big 3 western religions. And doesn't try to force its beliefs on non believers.

All f***ing hail Wicca. I can't believe that Christians believe that MAGIC it BAD!!!!!!!! And they base their religion on a person who practiced magic EVERYDAY! Also WIcca is NOT just a religion about MAGIC, or WITCHCRAFT! It's a normal religion just like the rest of 'em. We have our beliefs and laws too!

I personally think that if you are happy with your religion, do what you want. It doesn't matter what other people think, but why other people feel the need to harass others is beyond me. Does it make you feel good about yourself? Here I thought that only God could judge man and here you are telling wiccans that they are Satan-worshipping sinners that are being deceived into thinking that the religion is pure, spiritual, and nature-loving. Wiccans think this about the religion because that's what it is about, not because they are being deceived to think that it is. Wiccans don't even believe in Satan, nor do they have a being that could possibly resemble him. *Updated* because I am no longer involved in this religion, not that my opinions have really changed on the issue.

This is not a religion, this is a practice of worshipping evil, a division of Satan's practices.

Wicca is a well-meaning religion and it's not about worshipping Satan. However, it provides no way to be saved from the troubles of life. It says that with enough power you'll be able to get by. But that simply is not true. Many have tried but since each of us is fundamentaly incapable of long-term right action, incapable of really loving anything more than ourselves, it just won't work. We need a more powerful being to rescue us: we need God. Praise be to God our Father, for he has sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die for us so that we may join in his death, by faith, and be raised to new life in Him.

Certainly appreciate the Witches Rede, which goes something like, "Do what you will as long as it hurts nobody" (presumably only non-consensually, since some Wiccans are into "power exchange" sexuality, but that's a topic for another list).

OMR... you people are all morons... you do realise that your Bible is nothing but a book that people made 200 years after Christ died? Those people didn't know anything, because they WEREN'T there... all of those 'true' stories are inaccurate... and your religion is supernatural too... like that story about how that woman looked back at the burning city and turned to salt... isn't that spellcraft too? You're all fools for believeing in Satan... that bastard is only something created that you minds created... Morons... you're all stupid babies... grow up... and Muslims are not violent... they are very peaceful people... just because some of them do things, doesn't mean that they are all bad... same thing with Christians... because in a way you people are saying that if a Christian does something bad then all Christians are bad... and I know that you don't think that... so just shut your Ra-damned mouth and leaves Wiccans alone... sheesh... -_- And by the way... Wicca is not a female religion... there are plenty of males that are Wiccan too... but what's wrong with a powerful female anyway? Your women should be ashamed of you... letting you dominate them... with them you wouldn't have been born... so HA!!

Most wiccans don't even have a clue what they are practicing. I get a different definition from every wiccan I have asked about what it is they believe.

Hilarious. Basically some made-up mumbo-jumbo put forth by extreme feminists and lesbians. I actually saw a bumper sticker that other day next to the pro-choice bumper sticker, My Other Conveyance is a Broom. In the back window was some sticker decrying religious persecution of witches. How do these people know what witches did since I assume that they were all stamped out by the time of the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment?

Before you judge you should do a lot of research. Wicca is a wonderful religion. We do not worship the christian Satan or anything that even resembles that concept so don't go there. The Divine is everywhere and in all things. We do not believe in revealed truth such as Bibles or holy books. We find enlightenment and enjoyment from life and the world around us. Not all Wiccans have the same level of knowledge or experience so you really shouldn't judge all Wiccans on what some Wiccans do. We strive for balance in our religion which is why we honor a God and Goddess. We are not all lesbians or feminists which should neither be considered bad anyway. Wiccans are many types of people. We are everywhere and not going to disappear anytime soon. So everyone should show some respect if they want respect in return.

A religion founded on the principle do what you will but harm none must be steeped in evil.

Some more baloney and bunk!

This is one of the more balanced belief systems in that it recognizes the FEMININE side of Divinity.It is also healthy in it's reverence for the Earth.People who confuse it with Cults and Satanism are totally ignorant.I challange anyone who calls it New Age Fluff to read Vivian Crowleys books on the subject.

Seems harmless. Basically for ugly chicks and Lesbos.

Although I believe that all religions are totally perposterous, I must say that this religion is often lumped in with negative images. I know plenty of wiccans and the truth is, those images you see of depressed little kids dressed in black are simply doing it for the cool factor. Very few people actually understand the religion, especially those who belittle it immediately. There for I will give this religion a higher ranking then Christianity - because I know everyone who gives a nagative rating are only doing so due to ignorance on their parts.

Ridiculous, all the Wiccans I know are messed up. A religion for the weird chicks that most guys wise up and dump!

sad sad wiccans. actually believing that their religion/ethos goes back more than 50 years or so. Modern wicca has as much to do with celtic/druidic paganism as the Holy C has to do with the essenes who wrote the bible. not a helluva lot. Wicca (not witchcraft!not witchcraft!) is just more new age mumbo jumbo for confused rich whites. (if its not witchcraft then why are wiccans always defending witches? hmmm, well some do) -Rev M Baczynski - Atheist Minister

How in the heck did witchcraft rate above atheism?

Intellectually lacking, silly new-age thing.

If its not of God, it is of Satan.

It's not witchcraft! It is a pagan nature religion! Two different things, people! Sheesh, Pick up a book at your local library and READ before making stupid statements about Wiccans or even witches. Wicca is a religion that practices and preaches peace and to leave others alone. Why can't other religions be peaceful like Wicca? Wiccans do not go around bombing abortion clinics or screaming Infidels like many other fundamentalists. Wiccans are peaceful people. Wicca teaches to respect the enviroment and to respect people. It's just too bad Wicca is confused with witchcraft. In the religion of Wicca, You are not supposed to hurt anyone!

i rated it five cos first of all, wicca seems quite intersting, plus people that practise dont hurt anybody, unlike the muslims...so its good religion then

Most of it is pointless, like fluffy spell-casting and gibberish-chanting, but it actually teaches to cherish the environment, which I agree so I have to give it that. I'm atheist by the way.

First of all, hullo, Wicca is Pagan but Paganism isn't necessarily Wicca. Kinda like a square is a rectangle, but not all rectangles are squares. Wicca, which means shape, in the way it is usually practiced now, was brought to America from Europe fifty years ago. Those who are really into it and are in covens and such--I see that as the same as any kind of religion; a group of people who have institutionalized rules about the Divine. I believe everyone must find their own path. A lot of books about Wicca are misleading; they say it is the world's most ancient religion, when actually animism (the belief in an interconnection between everything in existence, and that all living things have spirits, like in Native American and Pagan religions) is what dates back to prehistoric times. Most who practiced it were egalitarian, believed in the Mother Goddess in one way or another, and were very peaceful and kind. Neither women nor men ruled. P.S. I hope person below isn't talking about me, considering all the prejudiced comments on this subject. The only thing I said that wasn't based in fact was that I choose to find my own path.

Wicca will always be a misunderstood religion , i just wish people would take the time to learn whats its really about before making such prejudiced comments. Blessed be ~LadyDragonFly~
