Why do people persecute Wiccans?

take it from someone who’s been there, people are frightened by the unfamiliar. just trust that the Goddess will help you through this. people just can’t accept the fact that we all believe different things. I can personally promise you that it will die down. eventually, something else will happen and they’ll move on. be strong. blessed be the way

Ok, im not wiccian, im a christian, but i like learning about what other people believe, oh and i agree with noname55alanna, im just kinda curious…and like what magic like are you talking about?

They are small minded hun, I used to have the same problem, people would say “can you make this pencil float”… that shows how stupid they are. But everyone is entitled to their own belief. Just try not to let it get you down. You believe a very worldwide religion and is heard of in many places so keep your head high and be proud.

thanx

Hey, don’t worry about them. You are intitled to your own beliefs and persective. I’m Christian but I do believe that everyone should believe in what they want to and not let other people’s opinions have any affect on them. Do and believe in what you wish to and try to make others understand and if they aren’t willing to listen then there not worth your time and there comments shoudn’t be worth anything either. ~Alanna

I went through all this too, but I did not let it get to me. Sometimes it’s best to just not tell everyone about it. That way, they won’t persecute you. But if you don’t feel you want to hide it, then just explain to them that Wicca is not only about magick, and tell them about some of the things that makes Wicca special to you. Make sure you let them know that Wicca is NOT evil, and has nothing at all to do with Satan or doing his work. This is a common misperception that a lot of people have. Wicca is recognized as a real religion by governments in the US and Canada. Explain some of the important things about Wicca, such as the Wiccan Rede (see the pic at the right). If they will listen, maybe you can change a few people’s minds about it.
