I title this post Wicca #1 because I am positive there will be more posts about it in the future.
So I just want to start off with apologizing about not posting recently or ever.... I know there is no excuse except for the fact that I forgot and have been working on other projects, including Wicca, but hey, that ties in with this website right?
I've never been a really religious person. I went to church classes at a Catholic church every Wednesday up until a few years ago but I never really believed in it. And now that i am older I find it quiet ridiculous (not trying to offend anyone or start a debate). What really bothered me was that the owner of my church was openly gay to my family, but he had to hide it from every one else and all of his co workers because of his religion. That church was such a big part of his life and that fact that he couldn't be himself made me realize that this religion wasn't for me. Also, the whole story about how this world came to be... it just all seems so silly to me. I believe that it's just nature, mother earth, science. Well anyway, I've been recently looking into different religions because the whole Christianity thing didn't work out too well for me and the only one that seemed right was Wicca.

The Wiccan religion is a modern pagan religion. People who practice Wicca or witchcraft are called witches. Because of movies and society, the word witch puts a picture of a green woman with warts and a pointy hat into our head, and kind of makes actual witches seem like a joke.
Witches do not worship the devil! Some may but I do not think that Wiccan's do because the one main rule in Wicca is "And it harm none, do as ye will," meaning do whatever you feel like you need to do, as long as you don't harm anything. So no harming the earth (littering for example), animals, or other people.
Witches are usually very down to earth people. Someone might call them a tree hugger. They feel a special connection with the earth and that is defiantly me. I love being in the woods more than anything and trees are my favorite. I love all plants and being outside as well. That's why the Wiccan religion seems best for me. Their beliefs just seem to make sense and I would love to start practicing it.
Okay so this wasn't a very entertaining post, more of a personal post/ rant I guess. I will have more information on Wicca very soon along with posts about the Salem witch trials! Look forward to those.
