I'm not very knowledgeable about the spirituality of African tribes, but I'm now inspired to learn more about the topic to see if there are any similarities between them and Wiccan beliefs![/quote]

You say that as though "Wiccan beliefs" are standardized and codified somehow.  This is especially odd as your last statement made it clear that there is no real reference material for "Wicca", unless you're a part of a particular lineage/tradition.

With exceptions made for initiatory traditions (which are few, and dying), most "Wicca" seems an amalgamation of appropriated beliefs, mixing shamanism, druidry, "actual witchcraft" (but only the "nice" parts), etc.[/quote]

You're absolutely correct and I apologize for not being clearer. I should have said that I'm interested to learn if there are any similarities between my Wiccan beliefs and those of African tribes.

I did a lot of reading today and am now enthralled with the West African Vodun, a religion practiced by the Ewe people. It is the precursor to the Voodoo that we see in New Orleans and other creole communities. (I apologize if any of that was insensitively worded and please call me out on it and correct me!)[/quote]
