Doesn't 'traditional' wicca date back to like the late fifties.

I imagine half the people here have parents older than that.

Get a real religion pls.

OH PLEASE.

Call me back when you're worshipping Taimat and Abzu.

I've always preferred Inanna.

*gets popcorn*

But you are literally the fifties version of that phenomenon.

But literally no one takes Wiccans seriously anyway, so why do you care?

just lol @ you and all of your fail

What the hell is a "real religion?"

Well, what's the difference between a religion and a cult?

When I've studied religion in school, I've learned about Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. I never learned about Wiccan, Satanism, and Scientology.

At the end of the day, some belief systems are considered more legitimate than others.

Jesus, I'm all for dogpiling on Stella's bullshit, but Wicca IS a real religion. New does not mean invalid. And yes, there is a difference between religion and cult - cults are inherently dangerous, and there's nothing wrong about Wicca.

My dictionary literally defines Wicca as a religious cult. Maybe you should be taking this up with Oxford, not me.

Lol you. Spirituality should be about picking what works for you. I cannot stand "traditional pagans" who take magic seriously and actually believe they practice ~the old religion~.

Eclectic wicca is a thing. Get over it. Most wiccans are eclectic.

Pagan reactions vs reactions of people in mainstream religions

Some religions seem to view new followers getting involved as a good thing, weird right?

Though most religions don't take very kindly to the modification of traditions or dogma. Got a bunch of people in a lot of trouble back in the day, I hear.

Don't get me wrong,I think this is all balls to the wall hilarious, but it seems to be just how religions work.

Just ribbing. I imagine this might grow from a faith that doesn't have a canon (there might be with British Traditional, I'm talking about paganism in general). You're going to have dabblers. Hell, there's christian dabblers (I'm a follower of Christ! That means I care a great deal about Old Testament law and demand everyone be perfect, completely negating the value of that whole Crucifixion thing in the first place! Also my religion centers around a horrible execution and I support the death penalty!) and there's a damn Bible to point to.

It's like those Astaru guys who are frustrated with the racist norse worshipers. Obviously the racists are awful but where do you point (religiously) to tell them they're wrong?

"Obviously the racists are awful but where do you point (religiously) to tell them they're wrong?"

- About half the Norse gods are nonwhite, according to Snorri Sturluson (compiler of the Prose Edda).
- The source material actively supports miscegenation (start with Loki, spend a good bit of time there, then move onto actual humans).
- Contact between the Norse and "foreigners" (for example, the Rus) is peaceful and, although over-sexualized and idealized, reasonably truthful. IF the Norse were racists they'd spew the same hateful drivel people tend to say about their enemies (call them baby-eating heathens and so on) and preach supremacy. The closest you get to supremacist language are statements like "the X family were the most renowned of warriors" and so on.

God, you're like a crotchety old Catholic saying protestants are not real Christians. Except Catholic would imply there is some kind of validity in your ~traditional~ Wicca, when Wicca was invented in the 1950s. Congrats that you were raised neopagan - because yes, you were, all Wicca is neopagan - but you don't own the term Wicca. Nope. You don't. Half a million people the US alone identify as Wiccan per census, and most of those people found faith on their own. You don't get to take their religious identity away from them. And yes, they are allowed to call themselves Wiccans, because let's face it, Wicca isn't a strictly defined religion in the first place.

And what the fuck, seriously, are you going on about your "discipline" and shit? Religion SHOULD be adjusted. There is nothing stupider than a religion (or adherents apparently like you) that scream at others for finding their own paths. If you're not finding your own path, feeling spiritual with what you've learned, and doing what feels natural to you, you're doing religion wrong. Fuck, religion isn't classical ballet.

Just... what is wrong with you. Was this post purely to brag about your ~magical roots~? I mean, I can't imagine any other reason you'd give a shit about other people's spirituality.
