Wicca is often considered deviant in the context of traditional religious norms due to its polytheistic beliefs, nature worship, and rituals that contrast sharply with mainstream monotheistic religions. Its practices, such as spellcasting and the veneration of a Goddess and God, can be viewed as unconventional or threatening to established societal values. Additionally, Wicca's emphasis on personal empowerment and individual spirituality can challenge traditional authority structures within organized religions. This deviation from normative beliefs and practices has contributed to misunderstandings and stigma surrounding the religion.

However, Jacobs did write about Crowley and his works, particularly in the context of discussing Thelema and occult practices in the late 20th century. His writings often reflect an interest in Crowley's influence on modern occultism, even if they were not based on personal experience.

Well, honey, in Wicca, there ain't no such thing as "blood witches." Sounds like someone's been watching too many spooky movies. Witches in Wicca focus on nature, energy, and magic, not blood sacrifices or any of that nonsense. So, if you're looking for blood and guts, you're in the wrong coven.

But of course you can. Just take care you don’t end up as a nazi punk. Sadly, some strands of national-romantic paganism are a slippery slope to nazism; you can see that with a (small) part of the black metal scene, for instance.

Native species of crayfish that are are a normal part of the ecosystem are not harmful. But there are several invasive species, like the rusty crayfish, that can kill off native crayfish and other crustacians. The rusty crayfish has a thicker shell and less "meat" and therefore are are not a good part of the food chain depriving the ecosystem of the nutrients from the crustacians it replaces. Invasive species also tend to destroy large amounts of water plants that further degrade the food chain. Also there is an infection that occasionally occurs in crayfish that can spread to other animals but this is usually a normal part of the life cycle and not neccasarily harmful.

There isn't a Celtic language as such, but a family of languages. In Irish Gaelic it would probably be 'dlùthchara' - close friend (Many people think it is 'anamchara' but in fact this means the priest who confesses you, or if you are studying to become a priest your spiritual advisor) (By the way the accent (fada) on the 'u' should be the other way).

A Pagan Perspective

There is an excellent book on the market - When Someone You Love Is Wiccan by Carl McColman. It answers most of commonly asked questions and lays to rest an number of the mis-comprehensions and erroneous ideas about Wicca. Wicca is a legitimate choice of a spiritual path and the answers below could benefit from reading the book.

You show them and help them understand the light side of life. If they are willing to rid the evil in themselves it's their journey to take, you cannot force it upon them but you can guide them to the other side safely.

Pagan is a general term while Wicca applies specifically to those belief structures that are descended or adapted from Gardnerian Wicca, which was founded by Gerald Gardner in the mid 1900s. Gardnerian Wicca is the first formal, Wiccan tradition that was known about publicly through media interviews and the publication of books by the members, with Gardner being the first to publish. There are other and newer traditions of Wicca that claim different, or even no, lineage at all.

Think of it this way, Paganism is a tree of which Wicca is a branch; in much the same way that Christianity is a tree of which Lutheran is a branch.

But it is not always just to label a Wiccan as a Pagan...

Though it is controversial in both the Pagan and mainstream religious communities, some people believe that Christian, Jewish, Muslim beliefs can be melded with Wicca to create Christian Wicca, Jewish Wicca, less often Muslim Wicca, so it is even unfair to say that all Wiccans are pagans, some believe themselves to be very much Christian, etc and would be upset to be identified as Pagan.

While this is controversial, it's not a new controversy, through the Middle Ages, many learned men (John Dee for one) pursued magic and alchemy and worked with calling angels and demons though they considered themselves to be very much Christian. The tradition of mysticism in even mainstream religions is a very old one that continues today.

I have often explained it this way to my students and others who ask: Wicca is to Paganism as Catholicism is to Christianity... A sub-section of a larger belief system. Not necessarily the largest, or the one with the most followers, but the most recognisable to the outside world. And in my experience the ones with the most rules.

Isis was worshiped by many different cultures. It was due primarily to the vast influence of ancient Egypt/Nubia. The original Romans, the Etruscans(the founders of Rome and Paris), were worshipers of Isis. She was referred to as Par Isis, which the Etruscans combined to form the name of the Roman city Paris. An area of the vatican was built over a temple deticated to Isis. The Egyptians used to believe in her. They may still. She was the wife and sister of Osiris, mother of Horus and is worshiped as the typical wife and mother. Her name means "Throne" and the emblem worn on her head is actually a throne. She represented worshiped queen.
