Wicca, as a word, may have been used in the thirteenth century, but as a religion, it would not have been. The concept of paganism is very well older than the 13th century, but Wicca itself (I'm fairly certain), has been around for less than a century. It descends from Pagan religions, so yes, it is possible that there are witch bloodlines, but please, keep in mind that they are witch bloodlines. rather than wiccan bloodlines.

The Spam Fairy If you are going to read only some of the posts... please try to at least read the more recent few. And also, using an opinionated statement like a fact is offensive to other people's beleifs. If someone told you that what you believed in was full of crap and that was the end of it, you wouldn't be happy either. It's one thing to state an opinion, but another to stop people from forming their own. Also - That doesn't really have much to do with the argument at all... Unless you're saying that the past few generations are the only ones that have ever included witches, which is something entirely different different. I have reason to believe Witches have been around for a long time.

WitchyBoy point taken but my point remains valid that somewhere there has to be a farely extensive line of witches or wiccans.
Also, people like to add things as they find them and take interest in them. That's what happened with Wicca: Gardner was initiated as a Witch, he then added a lot of stuff from Ceremonial Magic to it, and made Wicca.
In short, even if such practices were being handed down for generations, they're fragmented at best, and probably very different from how they were originally. Ronald Hutton talks a lot about this in Triumph of the Moon

Everything differs over time... Theres no stopping or changing that... And I think you speak too generally in your previous post. I know that many people choose to try and teach their children as much and best as they can... Theres more to learn than someone could possibly get through in a lifetime, so whatever headstart they can give seems like a good idea. Also, saying 'Because it is' goes directly against what I have just said... You may state your opinion all you like, but failing to take helpful advice while rubbing things in is just being arrogant. Please stop. Do no pretend to regard a post and agree with it if you are not going to do anything about what I mentioned.

I think she has a point. Some parents may deffinitely enjoy teaching their children everything they know, but my mom, per instance, doesn't. She's a well of knowledge when it comes to everything connected to the occult/spirituality/crowley and such... but she never tells me anything and even if I ask I get very short and "I'm not in the mood, go away" anwsers.
A lot family knowledge would have deffinitely gotten lost.

Where did I say "because it is"? What advice was I given? To shut up, stop putting out an alternative view and conform? Why should I? Because you say so? Please. I can comment on whatever the ******** I want, whatever post I want. Someone posts a comment, I post a comment in reply.... No? Advice to read the other posts? What makes you think I didn't? Because I didn't reply to them? Who the ******** cares about previous unrelated posts? They had nothing to do with the comment in question, I had nothing to say on them.
If noone ever challeneged people's thoughts then a lot would still wrongly believe things like Wicca being hundreds of years old. There's nothing wrong with challenging people or disagreeing with them. Beliefs are one thing, but history is another. I'm not gonna shut up and ignore real history just because "it's their belief". That's bullshit.
If you can't cope with the fact that some people have alternative stances and look at things more logically, then leave me alone.

It is. I thought the name sounded familiar and I found where I know it from. I have a few books on celtic and Irish history. It mentions MacMahon though, not MacMohon, around the 14th century. I went to search online and found a few things you might be interested in. If you like those sorts of things, that is. [ o] [ o]
