I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when you got to the part about human sacrifices. Few religions left in the US still require actual blood. It speaks volumes that you even had to address the issue. I would say the evolution of religion might have more to do with the country you reside in than the religion itself. Some countries are more given to violence in everyday life and think it normal. In general, the US does not. I bought Wicca, A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner. I don't pore over it, I just let you do the spells. I suppose it would be a step forward to do more. I have the kit. Mostly I just try to get forward in life and let the spirituality and your spells let me do that. I think of the spells as prayers. Someone else cares, also, for a bit, about what is going to happen and lends you their strength and purpose. May your day be Blessed Also.

Hello I love this article.I have been raised to believe the negatives about anything other than what I was told in my (as you say) religion when I was young.I see now as a adult we all have any power we want just use the power with Right and Just and this is what this article is about.Right,Just and all good for people not a Name or Title.As you said it so wisely, if you're interested in something Research it and make your own decision.I would like to Thank You for taking the time to write this article because I have learned even more.You all are an inspiration to me.Love ya Martha

This misconception Must be dispelled through the unraveling of great truths pertaining to rationales which do not harm man in whatever manner even causing pain.Always each one of us has an up to depth understanding of each issue which to my view need to be shared in necessitating a common conclusive ground by locking those evils purportedly exhumed in serving someone being important. Wicca is a religion of faith like others dedicated in manifesting good in the world.

There is a good book for beginners which I always recommend to people The process of gaining cosmic consciousness.

How do you know that your gods have no need for blood sacrifices....As in the old times. Is there any proof of this

This is a really great article. I had no idea there about the king and queen thing, since I never ran across it in any of my reading.

Thank you for this article. I have always been very connected with Nature, Animals and the Elements. I was Baptized and raised a Catholic. However, by researching different religions over many years, I found out my beliefs more closely aligned with Wicca. I am a solitary practitioner, because it's more comfortable for me. I call upon the God and Goddess (King and Queen?) when celebrating the Sabbats and Esbats and I still say my Catholic prayers and believe in God. So, I have made this work for me. Another good book by Scott Cunningham is "Living Wicca". Read and research, as much as you can, and travel the path that's right for YOU! Blessings on all my Wiccan sisters and brothers. )O(

It seemed to me that originally Wicca was a branch off Witchcraft many years ago because the mention of believing in Witchcraft out loud was totally unacceptable so it went underground ...hence the awakening of NEO PAGAN WICCA came out of the closet hoping to be acceptable ......Now it looks as though the Wicca Religion has taken off and appears to have broken away from Witches but they are so very similar that this article backs up because Witches believe the same ....I don't mind the fact that it has made us all acceptable isn't that the great part of it!!! Blessed Be

The article only posted Wicca is or isn't -about Wicca, the topics for each section should have said Wicca/Witches. Those that fear, will always think the craft/wicca is about dark things, no one teaches about each others' religion in temples or churches; Because society in general think we praise their dark deities. When in fact it is their own fears and ignorance that cause the misconceptions.

I had to smile at that part about sacrifices. I am a pro-choice Liberal Democrat who still believes that Wicca is my path.
