CinnamonStar Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Title. Well seeing the popularity of religion threads I have a question for you. What are you or would you rather be? Wiccan or Druid/Celtic/Asatrù/Hellenic Pagan./any of the other Neopagan religions. AND YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE BETWEEN THOSE 2, there's no other way round here.

Dark Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Wiccan, just because it sounds a lot cooler than any of the other ones. And to be quite honest, I haven't heard of EITHER of these religions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Wicca. Btw: WHAT IS WICCA ANYWAY? I'm too lazy to look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 It's a nature-based religion with an emphazis on rituals, magic(k) and they usually have a dualistic pantheon, though others just have one deity. Usually it's the horned god and the triple goddess.They also follow the tri-fold law (anything you do, good or bad, comes back to you trice), have their own institutions (Wiccan Coven of Canada for example) and also schools. The members call themselves witches or Neopagans and they celebrate Earth-based events like the Equinoxes as well as rituals based on nature. You can recognize them wearing a pentagram although there are many religions which use that one nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eury Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Wicca cause they wear Pentagrams. I <3 Pentagrams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 ^lol Neopagans wear them too.xD Also some Christians and Jews. You're a member of LaVey's church right? (Are some of you randomly voting for stuff cause they sound cool?:P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Красивая Ведьма Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Wicca because it is far more logical than the other religions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CinnamonStar Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Well the difference between both is that Neopagans take pride of being more historically accurate. Wiccans consider themselves as modern witchcraft users and take their roots from accounts about ancient witchcraft (Aradia or Gardner's books for example), whereas Neopaganist movements are usually reconstructionist. Meaning that they try to revive the old Pagan religions like f.ex. Asatrù --> old Germanic/Nordic, Nova Roma --> Roman Paganism, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Wolf Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Every wiccan i met, i ended up hating. Probably, because i have a deep hate for New Age Bullshit. Most of them are hypocritical bastards, who want to be witches and wizards, to upset mommy and daddy, but do not have the balls to be Satanist. So i guess i would vote Neopagan if anything, because i was one for most of high school... till i got laid, and toke a whole bunch of drugs and had an empithomy, that i would stop believing in the super-natural bullshit, and get logical... which i did. Edit: to add to the list of reasons i had said empithomy, 4chan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguespreader Zombie Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Neopaganism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Aaaah wait forgot about New Age.XDI'm gonna make a thread about that too, just wait.=3 *rubs hands and hopes this becomes more famous than Atheism vs Christianity* =D None of these religions are relied to Satanism in any way though. They're quite far away from it, as much as all the other non-Satanist religions.But it's true that LaVeyan Satanists may refer to themselves as witches though (the concept of the Satanic Witch). And true you'll always find honest religious people and those who just want to be rebels and go against their parent's beliefs. Wolf: What did you end up as now?
