Thats why if you ask most people on the street what a pagan is and the first words out of their mouth will probably be Satan Worshipper. Although I doubt there are any real true practitioners, mostly wannabes looking for a change, since the great "Christian Propaganda Machine" did a good job of wiping them out. But I suppose why you see mostly women practitioners is because alot if not all of there religion is centered around the Sacred Feminine. This is just my I am no expert but from what I have studied this about covers it.
