Wicca
American society today believes that Wiccans wordhip the devil and sacrifice people. In as much as they need for this to be true, it is not. Wiccans see Wicca as a religion. It is their way of worshiping their god, Nature.
One woman in Lousinanna states that people are just afraid of what they do not know. Many people are too scared to delve into Wiccan religion.
Sometimes I feel as if it is weird for people to practice Nature Religion, but after reading many things about Wicca, I thought their religion was actually very similar to those known world-wide.
We cannot hold people's religions against them because we are afraid of it. It their way of living, it is their culture, thus we should respect their religions as they respect ours.
There are many rituals that Wiccans perform in order to "worship" their Nature god. One would be dancing around naked to cleanse themselves of the impurities of the technological world. Another would be drinking of each other's blood to become one.
Unlike many other religions, Wiccans' ceremonies are usually conducted by women, called Priesteses, but their men who perform these ceremonies as well.
The media makes Wiccan's look bad. For example, the movie the Craft is over exaggerated. Wiccan's do not use their powers, or do magic to harm other people. They use the magic they have to either heal themselves or heal others. There are many movies out there that make the public think that Wiccans are devil worshipers. There is another movie titled Little Witches that totally blows Wicca out of proportion. In the movie, spells are done to try to bring forth the mater, yet true Wiccans can already see their "master" all around. Nature is their God and they look for no other.
In conclusion, Wicca is not what is put out to be by the media. If you one wanted to know exactly what it is that Wiccans do, one should research and research.
