I'm posting, 'cause Wicca is in my books, a Cool Thing[tm].  It basically
involves one-ness with the environment--oh, they have a Goddess, like
Christianity has a God, but the Goddess is one to be more respected and
honored than simply worshipped.  Hmm...if you're a Christian, thou shalt
not suffer a Wiccan to live--yes, Wicca is essentially witchcraft.  If
you know anything at all about witchcraft, you'll know that it's nothing
to do with casting spells to turn people's children into toads.  At
any rate, that's all I can remember about Wicca at this time of day, having
had no sleep yet %-)...if I think of anything else, I'll mention it.
