Wicca.

I'm just curious if there are any Wiccans here besides me.

If so, how did you get into it?  How long have you been in it?  Also pictures of your shrine.

I like their Rule of Three thingy.

I read Tarot Cards. That's considered a Wiccan activity. That's all I've got.

I always thought wiccas were kids who wanted to seem dark and mysterious by doing witch shit.

I have quite an interest in Zoroastrianism, especially of the Zurvanite variety. <3

This is how I feel, too. Most satanists, neo-pagans, and wiccans are just pretentious kids. They don't want to be like their Christian upbringing, but don't understand atheism, so they pick an obscure religion that doesn't make a lot of sense. It's SO COOL AND MYSTERIOUS.

I won't generalize, though. I've no problem with someone who follows paganism seriously, but the pretentious bunch is pretty stupid.

Aren't those called wicker chairs?

I think that's a problem every religion faces. Yes, paganism is known for having a lot of young, uninformed pseudo-followers, but there are still plenty of serious pagans. It's a legitimate spirituality. Think about it: How many Christians out there are kids who don't think much about their faith and simply go to church because that's what they were taught to do? Definitely a lot. Christianity is still a legitimate faith, so the same should go for paganism.

As for Wicca: I have an interest in paganism, but I wouldn't really consider being a Wiccan. It's similar to Druidism in that it's a bit gender-specific, which really isn't my thing. Also, one thing that bugs me is how a lot of people think Wicca and paganism are the same thing. They're not. Wicca is just one form of paganism.

[sans culottes]

That's pretty much true, but these days, most kids with the faith they were born into are pretty casual about it. I'm just a little more ticked about pseudo-pagan kiddies because paganism makes less sense to me than Christianity. Of course, no religion really makes sense, so I don't really mind any religion that promotes good values.

oh shit you're right.

LOL

You're so cute.

That's one thing that defiantly annoys me and is a downside to being a Wiccan, it's got a very bad reputation and tends to draw in a good amount of attention from the younger side of the spectrum that don't know how to actually be a "Wiccan".  It gets old being someone who takes the practice seriously but still gets assumed to be some stupid youngster who thinks it's cool and has no idea what he's doing, though I guess that's what comes with it, you can't stop people from judging and stereotyping. 

I think the main reason that kids think they are Wiccan and call themselves one is because they are all "MAGIC LOL " and think it's about casting spells and making potions all day which is the farthest thing from the truth.
