I wouldnt consider it a cult
its relatively harmless providing the people doing it know that it has nothing to do with whitcraft or satan, ect
and providing that the people who talk about it know that too
as far as im concerned, chrsitainity has a lot of horrible, sickening cults
and there are even vampire cults were silly kids cut themselves and drink each otheres blood
chrsitianity has a lot of cults
I havent heard of any wicca ones
wicca is relatively harmless if the people doing it know what it actually stands for

First of all, the religion is not called Wiccan, it's called Wicca.
Second...who the hell considers it a cult?

lots of people just say that it is a cult because they are misinformed. I am a wiccan and I was recently in a religious argument with someone who thought it was a cult. it is thought that wicca is the same thing as satanism however this is most definatly not the case.

p.s. a cult means a newly founded religion wicca is older than christianity so compared to wicca catholicism is a cult!

Agreed with Jaz,
all accept one thing
Wicca Witch are the same thing, even the same word believe it or not.
Wicca was originally pronounced Witcha, cc =ch(Witche for females). Over time the e a were dropedd it was just witch, a slang word for the word. When Crowley revived it he spelt it Wica dropping the ch pronunciation giving birth to the new was of saing it, Wika, which is actually wrong.

Wait a minute.
Wicca is NOT older than Christianity.

Some forms of Witchcraft are, but WICCA was invented in the 1950's by a man named Gerald Gardner.
