I want to say that i totally agree with everything pebbles and
nosterella have said (including the bit about the grammar). i don't
do much practical wicca at the moment because i don't feel that at
this stage in my life i can give it the time commitment it requires
and deserves. but at my top choice of university there are many
wiccan students, so i hope to practise it there. i have been
researching it a lot, and reading about it. to angelena, i
recommend silver ravenwolf's publications as a good place to start
your research. as i read i realised that without being concious of
it, my mother and i had to an extent being practising wicca for a
long time. i'd always labled myself a free thinker, when in fact
all my beliefs ran unknowingly parallel to wiccan beliefs and
laws.
the devil has absolutely NOTHING to do with wicca. come on, the
devil is a creation of the cristian faith, wicca is a completely
separate religion. and the devil in the pentacle? i'm sorry, but
i'm sure if you focused hard enough, you could see the devil in
anything. the only time i've ever felt the presence of anything
evil or connected to the devil is when i was in church. take that
as you will.
here's a question of curiosity for you wiccans:
do you put down wicca as your religion on official forms? for
example your ic? i mean, how truthful are you/faithful are
you?
i put free thinker down on mine, because i wasn't absolutely sure i
wanted to pursue wicca at that point. even now, i think wicca can
be kept private, and there's nothing wrong with being private or
public about it, because it's personal more than anything
else.
what do you think?
