The growing popularity of Wiccanism/What is Wicca, really

You may need to go into a little more detail on what kind of "faith" you mean, because usually faith means believing in something without having any kind of proof, and the point I was trying to make is that in Wicca, that's not really the case. I think Scorplett once described it as being similar to "believing in the Post Man". You don't have to believe in him, because you know that he is real.

Faith is believing in something, period. I know for a fact that the sun is rising every day, so I have faith in it. Faith is just believing. And with Wicca, belief comes through practice, thus there is a sense of faith that comes along with it, naturally.

That is not faith. You have evidence the sun will rise, you can prove it will. Your religion is nothing more than superstitious bullshit mixed with spiritualist bullshit. Your faith is false, in other words.

...I'M NOT WICCAN. And you have no room to talk about what's bullshit. What's bullshit, is someone saying that just because THEY don't believe in something, means that everyone else who does is wrong. THAT'S bullshit. And for the record, I believe I was talking to someone else.

I’ll erase this feeling…

It's a public forum. Anyone can reply to you. If you don't like it, then you can take it up via PM or IM.

I’m missing the feeling…
so this pain is also welcomed!

I don't believe I was talking to you, for one, and for another, I was replying as rudely as this person has been to everyone else thus far. I did not ask them NOT to say what they were saying, I was replying to what they were saying.

Wicca, as explained by a stoner:

"Dude, it's like, when you think that something happens 'cause you said the magic words, and it happens, but not really, in your HEAD, man. Yeah. Pass the bowl."

I think what is most amusing to me..

"Wicca is whatever you want it to be"
and yet
"If you don't obey the Wiccan Rede, you can't call yourself Wiccan"


So.. what is Wicca? What makes you Wiccan?
(I know, I just wanna know what others are thinking it is)

I'm seriously laughing at Summer1412 insisting that faith is involved when it has been stated many times that it isn't involved.

and Summer, anyone can reply to any of your posts, doesn't matter if you want us to or not, this is a PUBLIC forum.

Talk in PMs if you don't want other people to quote you or comment back

As I am, you will be

Well I'm glad you find it amusing, but it's already been clarified that the type of faith I was talking about was slighting different than religious faith.

And for the last fricken time, I did not tell them NOT to post or reply to me, I was REPLYING to their reply. I can quote myself if you like, since everyone else is so keen on quoting me.

Wicca is a nature based religion (psuedo?), in which rituals, seals, chants, and prayers are used to invoke a spirit, message, or sign of some sort.

That's what is commonly called Wicca, but that's not Wicca at all. Error's link is about actual Wicca.

The Wicca sold in Borders and New-Age stores is usually not Wicca at all, but eclectic neo-paganism that has taken the name Wicca.

neo-paganism is an umbrella term that includes wicca.
