I have come to realize that despite the fact that Wicca is becoming more accepted in the united states, it is still frowned upon, and challenged by many people. In a way I understand this. When you are born and raised around one thing or idea, you become "brainwashed" in a way, and it becomes hard to break away from it. I personally try to make sure that I stay open minded about everything and challenge thing in a positive light. This is actually how I found Wicca. It allows me to expand my mind and build on my moral beliefs.
I have received the mot negative feedback from catholics. though I highly respect the religion, I must admit that they are quite harsh on other religions, especially paganism. I still keep an open mind about their arguments, but I have chosen to keep my faith in Wicca.
For those of you who are not sure what Wicca is, I will give a brief description. Wicca is a pagan religion centered around nature, and a goddess. It incorporates witchcraft, and can be extremely spiritual. The thing that sets wiccans apart from other witches, and the thing that is most brought up the most, is that wiccans do not curse anyone or thing. In fact, that is like a golden rule in Wicca, "an it harm none, do what ye will". It does not matter if someone wrongs you in some horrific way, cursing is strictly forbidden. Though it can be tempting, one has to keep their faith, just like any other religion. Once that line is crossed, you can not claim Wicca as your religion. I look at it this way. Everything comes back to me times three. (the three fold law) Its the way wiccans see Carma. why would I want to harm someone knowing that something will happen to me at some point. Not only will that negative energy come back to me, it will be three times worst. I rather not.
So whatever your religion is, try to keep an open mind. Don't shun someone because they choose to put their faith somewhere else. It may be a challenge, but it is just another path in your spiritual journey.
Merry met.
