    In or out of the broom closet?

    I chose to be open with with my religion to my family and friends about everything except oath bound information. It cost me my family on my mothers side (all roman catholic) a few shots at being promoted but I kept my personal dignity, and met my wife. It has been a series of hard choices, and...

    How do you feel about outside observers?

    Our coven has invite only rituals that we do allow others to come in and participate. We don't allow people to sit out and watch though, there are a couple of reasons: 1. the magic of ritual stays in the circle, you can't experience they same energies outside of the circle. To the outside...

    Wiccan Questions

    Well the current working of the wycroft line is fairly open. We encourage everyone to bring their unique style and beliefs to the group. In that way we are kind of a coven of solitaries. For example in my personal practice I worship Tyr and Skaldi, I'm on a warrior path and these are the gods...

    How does one become a Wiccan?

    If your going to start down this path I recommend you spend at least a year or two looking for any wiccan books you can find, reading them and copy out what you agree with and what you don't. The only rule I would use as a guideline is if they reference another religion (ie a bible quote in the...

    Skyclad

    My wife prefers Skyclad, I prefer to wear robes and my bracers (forearm armor). See my wife works with the extreme of feminine energies (light and dark, mostly dark), and I know her goddesses prefer her to appear as she was created. Myself I work with the Norse gods of war and revenge, as such I...

    Why did you choose to be a Wiccan?

    Choosing to become wiccan would be like choosing to fall in love. You don't get the choice consciously, one day you just kinda wake up and realize that you are wiccan or you don't. When I woke up it was a wonderful time in my life, I came to the realization that it is our perceptions that...

    Wiccan Questions

    The Farrar's were not Gardnerian their alexandrian, and very nice people, though the differences between Gardnerian and Alexandrian are mostly academic. The coven I belong to initiated myself and my wife at the same time, and although we prefer to initiate working couples at the same time, we...

    Religious Pluralism is False: All Religions Can't Be True

    I choose to believe that all religions are true. I think when we believe something enough and if there are enough of us that believe in it then it becomes true, therefore if enough believe believe strongly enough in a religion it becomes true.

    Hello all

    Yes it is exactly what the name suggests, this is British traditional Wicca, as opposed to what people have spoon fed you to believe what witchcraft is. Gardner was a man, he was the founder of our tradition in its current form but he was not a prophet or anything, he simply took what the...

    Religion and hair

    Wicca does not have a predefined hair style, that being said I have never met a Wiccan male that didn't either have long hair or a goatee. I trying to be an individual grew a van dyke ;)

    Why do all world-religions come from the East?

    Simple, when the roman empire took over the known world they imposed a stat religion as part of their control, that religion was Christianity (thanks Constantine...) because of that most of the pagan religions died in Europe. As for the rest of the world. Religions from everywhere else in the...
