[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why, but something about the whole Wiccan/nature-lover thing feels forced and false to me. Like the people doing it are trying to be something they're not. It really does seem like some form of mental illness. [/quote]

NP here. I'm not Wiccan, but I'm pagan in nature and observe the solstices. The change of season and the natural world actually exist. I can prove that what I worship exists.
I'm different than the OP in that I'm pretty agnostic. I've no clue how we arrived here and books written by men aren't going to answer that. But I've participated in many rituals and it's very much like any other display of faith. Describing a faith that literally harms no one and tolerates other faiths, even tho others they tolerate often actively make fun of or even persecute theirs, as mental instability, is really just shitty.

It may well be, but I find the "religion" very hippy and out there. I also don't believe that the people participating in the practice REALLY believe in what they claim to worship. It's like some unhealthy cult thing for mentally disturbed people and/or folks who want to appear holistic and earthy.

What exactly are you worshiping? I'm asking in sincerity. Trees, air, leaves, etc? What does this worship look like? Do you revere these things? [/quote]

Like any religion Wicca is made up of all kinds of people who practice their religion with slight differences in ritual and doctrine very similar to what you might find in Christianity with Catholicism and Southern Baptists or Lutherans.

I am a Wiccan who posted earlier in this thread.  I don't share this information with anyone.  I was born a witch in the Garderian tradition.  I learned the craft from my grandmother and my mother and her sisters.  I am not as open as OP so this is about all I will share.

I can tell you that I am not a 'hippie' and based on the Wicca stereotype many would be surprised to know my secret.  I eat meat,  I wear designer clothes and expensive make up, I have a mainstream stressful career in business.  I do enjoy gardening but I don't flock to Burning Man festivals or smoke pot and I shave my legs. [/quote]
