At picnic met a chick who says she is a 'Wiccan'. What's that all about?

isn't that the earthy witchcraft belief or something

http://www.religioustolerance.org/witchcra.htm

That's exactly what that is...

She's a witch.

and you didn't ask her?

Means she is an easy lay and possibly psycho.

Yet another frustrated cat-herder that thinks that making weird incantations and micing potions and herbs will give her control over her life.

This kind of psychosis was inevitable, given the women's suffrage and liberation movements.

does she worship satan ?

when you're speaking to a chick, you don't quizz them. I think you should be asking HER these questions...when i'm getting with a chick i pick their fucking brain...i advise you to do the same

Although the words "Wicca" and "Wiccan" are relatively well defined at this time, such terms as Satanism, Paganism and Witchcraft have many meanings. Confusion over the definitions of religious terms is quite common. Even the term "Christian" is defined differently by various groups. The sentence: "Ann was raised a Roman Catholic but became a Christian later in life" might be quite understandable to an Evangelical Christian, but wholly confusing and probably quite insulting and distressing to a Catholic.

Some people sincerely believe that over 75% of the human race (including Wiccans) are followers of Satanism. Others, including Satanists, Wiccans, religious historians, many theologians, those mainline and liberal Christians and individuals who are knowledgeable about minority religions, etc., consider Wicca and Satanism to be two unrelated groups of religious traditions. They share few points of similarity. In fact, many of their beliefs and practices are diametrically opposed to each other.

There is no right or wrong definition in these cases. Groups simply assign very different meanings to the same English words. The sentence: "Wicca is a type of Satanism" is neither right or wrong. Debate is useless. It is a true statement to one group and false to another.

Satanism, as viewed by Satanists, etc.:
Satanism consists of many religious traditions, comprising two main faith groups and many smaller religious groups:

The Church of Satan is the largest organization of religious Satanists. They regard Satan as a pre-Christian concept, representing pleasure, virility, and strength; he is not viewed as a living entity. Their prime symbol is the Sigil of Baphomet. This is a goat's head, drawn within an inverted pentagram (5-pointed star with one point downward and two up). It is surrounded by a circle. Satanists conduct rituals by themselves, and/or meet together in grottos.
The Temple of Set worships Satan in the form of a pre-Christian deity -- the Egyptian god Set. Their prime symbol is a simple inverted pentagram in a circle. They meet in temples.
The behavioral code followed by almost all Satanists was written by Aleister Crowley: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." It permits Satanists great freedom of action. Some engage in black magic rituals with the goal of harming those who have hurt them. Turning the other cheek is not their style.



Wicca, as viewed by Neopagans, etc.:
Wicca is unrelated to Satanism. It is a group of religious traditions: some are highly structured, while most are eclectic. Many, perhaps most, Wiccans are solitary practitioners. They are, in many ways, directly opposite to Satanists:

Wiccans worship a Goddess and her consort, a God.
They do not recognize Satan or any other all-evil supernatural entity.
Their prime symbol is the exact opposite to the symbol used by Satanists. It is the upright pentagram -- a 5-pointed star with two points downward and one up. Sometimes it is enclosed by a circle to form a pentacle.
Their groups are called covens, not grottos or temples.
Their rule of behavior is called the Wiccan Rede: "An it harm none, do what thou wilt." i.e. do whatever you wish, as long as it harms no one, including yourself. Unlike Satanists, Wiccans are not allowed do dominate, manipulate, control, or harm others.

They believe that they worship neither the Christian God nor the Christian devil. They worship a Goddess and a God. Neither is at all similar to Satan. Wicca, and other forms of Neopaganism, are as different from Satanism as Hinduism is from Christianity.

If you do end up dating her, don't let her tie you up to the bed during a full moon, just in case.

wiccan is a "religion" so to speak, of witchcraft and certain beliefs. tarot cards, the powers of....(-insert name here-), shit like that.

Run to the hills and don't phone her ever again

shes gonna cast a spell to make your penis 2 inches

it means she'll suck your cock in the back of her old volkswagon van then spray a pentagram on her face with your cum. Those wiccan girls are horny freaks!!

Were you nice to her?

You better hope you were, lest she cast a spell and cause your peepee to shrink even further than it already is.

it means she is psycho . . . will probably be good in the sack, but will not be worth tapping it more than 2 or 3 times

so you really talk to them? what's that like?

ROFL

She turned me into a newt






















I got better...

very small rocks?

Might seem strange but if you actually do a search in google or do something radically different like... oh... LOOKING IT UP... you might be able to figure it out for yourself.

I am not sure.
But whatever you do. Dont give her your socks....

I like wiccan girls. They pretty much always a lot more fun than average normal girls.

Hell, I married one.

Well check if she floats before you start making these accusations.

.. too smart to be christians, too afraid to be athiests, and still need some mumbo jumbo in their lives.

I see you've been there and done that

Gold!

So true.

It's one of those Hot Topic type people. You know, the ones who think they're are real unique and not like everyone else, except everyone who is like them. The ones who are against corporate America, but shop at a store whose stock has appreciated like crazy in the last 5 years.

right on. And depressed too. Just make her feel bad and join in the sorrow... and you'll get laid for sure

why would she try to help him out like that?

wiccan = one who belongs to the Wiccan religion (neo-pagan polytheistic religion)

Judging by the Wiccans I've met, the word "Wicca" is Olde English for "Shave ye not thyne legs"...

i think it means shes a witch but the girl in a witch shop the other day told me its ok they don't sacrifice stuff and they don't curse people because whatever they do to other people comes back on them three times!


maybe its PR though £120 for a small crystal ball seemed kinda expensive

the fat girls who like to eat cheese

has to be !!

I worked with someone who was Wiccan. To be honest it sort of freaked me out at first. Once I got to know her a bit I understood she was not into satanism or anything like that.

The best way I could describe her beliefs is almost like an earth child. They believe everything in the universe is interconnected and that you have to keep a balance in your life. Very nice lady.

Having said that, she still freaks me out a bit, I have always been just a tad bit uncomfortable with anything satanic or what could be. As I said, didn't get into the actual religion much with her, but trust me, I always felt guarded around her "just in case"

Too much Buffy!

It's not a religion

"The military should rethink their position. That's not a religion." G.W Bush, referring to the Wiccan religion.

be afraid. be very afraid.
