Today I was in a truck stop that is apparently owned by very Christian people. They have all kinds of plaques and clippings hung up all over with "inspirational" stories giving praise to God. I couldn't help but glance at one while I was microwaving up my lunch. To me this sounds more Wiccan than Christian, but I will let you decide. I hunted it down online so I could paste it. If anyone needs the link it is here.

This story, unlike the others hung in the truck stop, don't mention God or Jesus. They do, however, show a man doing something that looks suspiciously like a Wiccan "grounding out" their bad energy after a hard day. What are your opinions? Is this story more Wiccan or Christian in nature?

Just sounds like a story to me.

I'm sorry - don't mean to offend, but it sounds like pure rubbish to me.

Believing a tree has some kind of healing properties sounds like human nature to me.
The belief is there first, the religioin is created to explain it. Ownership of the belief belongs to the person, not the religion. |

Thank you, Guitar's Cry. For those who are not of the Wiccan Faith, I will explain why I feel this story relates to Wicca:
Some of use a process called "grounding" in which we return our negative energy to the Earth and we draw positive energy back into ourselves. Out with the bad, in with the good. There are several ways to do this, but one common one involves using a tree. Some feel that channeling this energy through the tree is more efficient because of the way the roots are sunk into the Earth. Whether you believe in a person's ability to transfer energy as such, anyone can benefit from the idea of leaving their problems from work outside of the home. Even a Christian should be able to understand that it would not be right for the plumber in the story to come home and be cruddy to his wife and kids because he had a bad day at work. Wicca is a living religion as we actually live the religion. We don't say one thing and then act a different way. For some reason folks still think we are evil though...
