""So please keep your judgements to yourself""
NO sir I will not keep my judgements to myself.

There is nothing respectful about a book with the title " Understanding the Subtle Dangers of Wicca" Maybe you should ask your Wiccan friends how they feel about this site promoting this book. There are so many Wiccans who hide there faith because of the religious ""bigotry"" that is promoted by organizations and Christian indoctrination books.
""
I also don't think that the statement was trying to claim that the
people in Salem were Wiccans, but rather that they practiced witchcraft.

""
The people accused in Salem did not practice witchcraft, however that did not stop the God fairing of Salem from killing them, nor where they Wiccans.

What is needed is a book covering "The Dangers of Christianity"
What is needed is a book that covers the bloody history of Christianity.
What is needed is more Wiccans who will stand proudly for their faith and who will CALL a bigot, "A bigot"
Blessed be

Wow... thanks for stopping by... i guess...

I do want to respond to a couple of things. I respect your right to not want the love of our God. And no one here is forcing you to accept it. You and I obviously don't view Him the same way, and you sound pretty convinced about your beliefs regarding Him. Whatever the reason, you have every right to make the choices you make. I believe that, and respect that.

I also don't think that the statement was trying to claim that the people in Salem were Wiccans, but rather that they practiced witchcraft.

As far as keeping it to ourselves... please remember that you came to a Christian website that's talking about Christian themes as it relates to the rest of the world around us. I don't think that we were trying to force you to read this by publishing it on a website designed for Wiccans.

And "bigots"... That's a pretty harsh judgement to make on someone. Just for the record, I have several very good friends who are Wiccans. And we have some great conversations about what each of us believes. And while we ultimately believe different things, we still love and respect each other. I know that they would be the first to tell you that "bigot" is the furthest from the truth. So please keep your judgements to yourself... my faith teaches me to be respectful of other people. Please do the same.

Thank you.

""In 176 pages, we cover the basic of what Wicca is, why it matters, and
how to influence those involved in it with the love of Christ.""

I don't want the love of your god.

"" We talk about Harry Potter and other media and their influence, the
history of Wicca and witchcraft in America (including the Salem witch
trials), ""
Harry Potter????? really...
That's insulting.

Salem - the people killed in Salem where not Wiccans...

Please keep your thinly Veiled book of religious indoctrination to your self.
bigots

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
