Thanks for the heads up! I'll bet that the online chat with these two will be pretty powerful!

Merry Meet!

I am a proud Wiccan and ordained minister of the Universal Life Church.

Wicca is one of many beautiful religions. There is nothing evil about it, nor should anyone fear of its practices. For the former wiccans that left to become christian, all that means that Wicca wasn’t the right path for them. We all should choose the path that well fits us.

Wicca is an modern revival of the ancient pagan belief of Europe. These pagan beliefs consist of Celtic, Nordic, Roman traditions. The Christian holidays (christmas and easter) also derived from these pagan traditions.

Wiccans don’t worship, nor do we believe in the devil, the devil is an Judeo-Christian concept of fear.

As far as the title Generation “Hex”, Wiccan do NOT put hexes on people. We have a law called the Wiccan Rede which states “An it Harm NONE, do as ye wilt”, which means you can do what you want as long as it harms no one including yourself. We use spells as a form of prayer.

If someone wants to know about Wicca, ask a wiccan.
The authors of this book say that they interviewed current and former wiccan before they wrote this book. But i am pretty sure they used their own biased opinion and left out important positive information of Wicca when writing their book.

May i add that all faiths follow the ONE God. Each faith see the divine differently. All Gods are one God.

Unfortunately for the Authors of this book, Wicca isn’t going away. They can use all the scare tactics they want. We will continue to grow. In the U.S, Wiccans recieve the same religious freedoms as Christians and other faiths. The US Dept. of V.A granted a widow her right to put a gravestone ingraved with a wiccan pentacle on her wiccan husband’s (who died in iraq) site.There are Wiccan churches,wiccan clegypeople lead worship in the military, and prisons. We help out in our local communities. We are people just like you.

My church the universal life church motto is “we are one “, simply means we must co-exist.

Blessed Be!

Reverend Michael
