Welcome to Gaia! ::

You don't necessarily need to have a cat, or look like a Pagan in dress or style, to be a Pagan.

As Meri said, everything is connected in Paganism, and all animals can be magical, and they have meanings. I suggest looking up Celtic Animal Lore, and Native American Animal Lore, as well as other religions who regard animal symbolism. Cats, as I had learned, are one of the most common familiars because they are able to walk in and out of a circle freely during a ritual without disturbing it. That's one of the many reasons. But any animal can be a familiar or totem animal.

Even if you wear jeans and a T-shirt, you're dressed like a pagan. As it was said, ritual wear such as robes is essential, but not often necessary, for ritual performance, as the energy can be free-flowing. I was taught that the less metal you wear, unless it's jewelry and tools (such as athames, cauldrons, etc.) that you had worn/used for ritual purposes, or had been consecrated during a ritual, the better the energy flow.
Black is often chosen, but not necessary, by some Pagans because the color absorbs more energy than other colors. Most people just wear what they want to wear, doesn't matter what it is. No, Victorian dress is not essential.

Good books to read about herbs and flowers, and their magical and medicinal purposes, to name a few, are a couple herb books by Scott Cunningham (Magical Herbalism and Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs), The Wicca Herbal, and A Modern Herbal, vol. I and II.

Lets clear this up, the way I see it Electic is a term for miscilainse, so I'm sure misc Gardnerians grenal Wiccans can say blessed be.

You know I have a spelling problem, and I have a name its Nate no need to call me by my username, and for future refrence try to think what my wrong spelled words are.

We can talk about Wiccan predjidice.

My family Wicca stats
Mother: She knows I'm reading it but she doesn't want me to be Wiccan
Father: He is clueless
Grandma: She's ok but she thinks practicing it is bad
Grandpa: I have not said anything to him
Rest: They know diddly

What is it with our familys? (I have a brother too I doubt he aprove) this sucks.....

I don't think its aginist Wiccan believes at all heres something to remember
"An ye harm no one do as ye will" In other words the Wiccan Rede says do as you wish but harm no one mentaily or pysichily or yourself.

Er......this seems like a fine way to ask
"Excuse me but do you wanna consider doing Wicca with me?"
Or perhaps thats to forward......
