You're wrong, Feral Cat, to say that Wicca and Hinduism have nothing to do with each other. Wicca, while it's roots are older than God (quite literally) it had to reform as a religion. The founder of the Wiccan tradition was Gerald Gardner. He and many Pagan scholars birthed Wicca, the religion, by melding them with other ancient traditions. One of the most heavily borrowed from traditions was Hinduism, the other was Buddhism (another Indian tradition) A good example of this is the Wiccan notion of "Karma."

Hi Haunted, like many others you know more about modern Wicca than me!
What I actually meant was not that there is no relation between many esoteric beliefs today, I meant in the original forms of the religions! Although I know some people hold the theory that these ancient beliefs are connected, I disagree with them and think it is only now people look back and find similarities!

Good thread.....even though SFF has the IQ of a tadpole on crack.

I like wiccans. For my experience they are not only very nice and sensible people but also very open minded towards other religions and believes. We have a really nice group of pagans of all sorts in my hometown (most wiccans but also eclectic pagans and new Finnish pagans like myself) and every month we have a lovely little meeting in one of our local cafes.

Holy shit.

I would like to be a wiccan. :cool: Where do they hang out? How do I join up?

Let's just hope they don't sacrifice virgins! :eek:

I was just wondering if anybody has ever been involved with wicca. I have been thinking of becoming a wiccan.

there is no such thing as witch craft.. its been extinct for centuries
all knowledge of it has been lost. so much so the "religion" you see today. is nothing but wishful thinking, noone knows what they did during their ceremonies. its all been lost. noone really knowswhat they are doing. shit you see all the idiots dancing naked around stone hendge killing babies they kidnapped from the local hospital. even though they have no idea who made it, or even why it was made. they could be dancing around the worlds oldest out house for all they know..tell ya now boy, if any of the normal faiths (christianity, judaism or islam) that worship the one and only true god.don't tickle your fancy. try following budda. at least that dude will get a lot futher in life, than these bunch of morons who have been brain washed by shows like buffy will get you.
