___I know people who are true Wiccans. They do seem to avoid most of my questions about how in depth their assumptions about their gods are, but if I'm not good enough to be a part of their little world then it's their loss.

___The flaunty type of "Wiccans" however are everywhere and they are just the opposite, I can't ever get them to shut up. It wouldn't be so bad if some of the things they said made sense or was the least bit interesting.

___But you do have to remember that my opinions about people don't count because I hate everybody regardless of what they tell me their religion is.

I went to this site and I read the whole thing before I allowed myself to fume. Although the set-up looked good, he was rolling all the individuals that are or claim to be Wiccan into one group, which is really unfair. The people this dude is talking about are Wiccan-wanna-be’s. Real, dedicated Wiccans do not generally behave like that. He does have reason to complain about teenagers who are just looking for a new fad and have missed the point if Wicca completely. But he says, “It's the Wiccans I can't stand... Every day I see ‘Wiccans’ defile the religion of Wicca.” as if all Wiccans behave in this manner. If he is going to give up on Wicca because of a bunch of dumb high schoolers are running around claiming to be Wiccan in order to stir things up, then he was really never dedicated to it in the first place. How lame.

im wiccan and well all the people at my school are so like freaked out by it. like i tell them that it's not evil and they're like well yes it is and that you need jesus and that its bad and crap. I just wish everyone would see that it's not bad and that it is good.

I'm glad there is finally someone out there to write something that'll shove the numerous fluff-kids back into there dark closets. I hate girls at my school who read books and suddenly know everything about wicca. What the ****! its a new movement and its killing the religion<i know thats not spelt right i seemed to have misplaced my handy little dictionary>

Hey, I read this the other day after you put up a link on another post...I thought it was excellent. Though I'm not a Wiccan (duh), I have met a few of the fluffbunny Wiccans myself, and I did appreciate the bits about not hating Christians, since that also used to happen to me quite a lot. And I hadn't done anything to them...it's not like I went around calling them evil or anything. It's like they were trying to pick fights with me, and when I asked them questions about Wicca, they would just huff at me and walk away. It was very frustrating. And the pentacle thing...how I hated watching girls who suddenly became Wiccan twirl their little necklaces around and try to get attention. It's nice to know that there are people out there who actually care about a religion enough to make sure people know what it's about when they claim to be practicing it. Also, it was really informative for me, since I am currently trying to learn about other religions. Thanks for the link. Jen.
