Bright Blessings- Do we have anyone (aside from me) studying and/or practicing Wicca here? And what tradition do you fallow... Love, Analisa :OL

Yes, but I follow a relatively new path, Christian Wicca. But I was a Wiccan of the Cunningham sort for 2 years before coming to this path, so I know much about the more general forms of Wicca as well :THP

Somewhere along my aeclectic spiritual journey I was a solitary Wiccan, a student of Starhawk & Cunningham's work in particular for 4-5 years. Laurel

Another Eclectic on Aeclectic. I like many different paths, but I have studied with a Wiccan teacher before. I just call my path Dasha- as in a Dasha this, and a Dasha that.....

Well I'm also an Eclectic Wiccan or Witch...!!!... I was catholic but a couple of years ago I realized that it wasn’t making me happy so I decided to start searching for my truth and eventually I found Wicca, as you can imagine in my country Wicca is almost a taboo because is considered satanic (because of the misconceptions), so was a little bit difficult to find others walking the same path as me. Now I'm following the Universal Eclectic Wicca, taking classes and reading a lot... I'm very happy to have found this great community with people open minded....!!!!.... Bright Blessings...!! Love, Analisa P.S.: Liliana can you explain me what exactly is and for what stands the Christian Wicca?

hi i'm a combo of beliefs. brought up christain and i expanded my reading thru college and thru a 12 step program...i've incorporated wicca, buddhism into my spiritual make up. what happened at the beginning of the 2002, i've found that much of what is done in the christain service/mass was once PAGAN or wiccan in origin just christainized cause the men didn't like the women being in charge, women held the religious power in ancient times.and since 9/11 the balance of female/male needs to be recognized as essential to the existence of the human race...so i stopped going to church, i miss some families who give me the physical contact that humans crave. might so going back but i like the feeling of just being w/the god/goddess. i practice more random acts of kindness in the light than i ever have going to church for 38 yrs. i have more support and acceptance here than i did there... here's something that bothers me...quickly a woman at the gym i work at vehemently rejected harry potter because a good christain shouldn't stand for sorcery...wanted to say well what do you think Jesus was? i haven't been able to find this info but i feel that he went away after his bahmiztfah (sorry for spelling) to study the religions of the world. including wiccan...he can walk on water, feed the multitudes w/just a few loaves of bread anda basket of fish...how can he do this but be a wizard?? i believe in God and Jesus did die on the cross but i'm seeing him more as a prophet than the Messiah. anyway, this woman's hatred for pagan and other religions outside her faith was incredible. her negative shot out from her soul into mine and i almost fell backwards. it was really strong...can i say that it felt more evil than loving. being a christian is to be loving and accepting of others..and an american? so i kept my mouth shut. now i know that i need to send a little healing light to help her see the way...she won't know what hit her but hopefuly w/the practice i've been getting here, she'll feel lighter and know that she's walking in the light of love not hate. thank Goddess i found this thread. it happened last night and i need validation that it's ok to believe in what i believe in. plus a little energy...she sapped it out of me. plus i had fun playing last night. :) haven't gone out in a while. blessed be! :TQC :THP

Ask anyone who considers themselves a Chistian Wiccan what one is and you are likely to get 1000 answers, I made a post on it once let me see if i can find it and bump it up. As to Harry Potter, my husbands Chrisitan group at college is watching it tonight and discussing. I love thre movie and seen it probably going on 100 times heh. Also, notice they are celebrating CHRISTMAS in the movie, not Yule, hence Christians. duh. :THP

DUH - Yule...vs "Christ"mas..HELLO! :D :TQC :THP
