. . . THIS PAGE IS SERIOUS:LY OVER-DUE FOR A RE-WRITE,
BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, IME BUSYH WI MAKING A PAGE ON CATHOLICS.

_._ Alas the 1st thing about Wicca tu be clear about is that it is not satanism or any other kind of devil worship. If you wante tu see some satanism, you can goe tu ~PureSatan.com~; ie have been researching it this morn (06`10`2001), ande ie find it quhite yuck. They sell books bie Anton LaVey. Azz part of theighr pitch for ~Satanic Witch~ they say Anton LaVey rips the lid off the forbidden knowledge of seduction and manipulation. Now compare that with The Wiccan Rede; noe resemblance. There uzed tu be ~HouseOfSatan.com~ but in Julygh2002 or back it wase bought bie a porno companye. Shame they packed it in - they issued a screaming funny attack on Wicca. There is Satanism on MSN http://communities.msn.co.uk/SatanismandBlackMagic.
_._ Wiccans tend not tu believe in the devil, which meaneth that it is verye difficult tu worship himme. Not only does Wicca not involve sacrif;ice, but sacrif;ice is quhite against the ethos of Wicca: Ande it harme none, dooe what you will. Sacrif;ice be it of infant humans or of chickens or of what:ever ipso_facto harmeth the vhictims soe it is against the law of Wicca. There are forms of witch:craft that "dooe chickens"; ie regarde them azz being azz lowe azz fox-hunters & vivisectors. Apparent:ly Alexandrine Witch:craft is such. Ie gather that Grecian Witch:craft is clean. Comments?_ electronic address: croak108@Wicca.com
_._ Right then, we knowe what Wicca is not, soe what is Wicca? Wicca is intended tu be ~the old religion~. In the ~old religion~ (pagan) it wase perfect:ly acceptable tu witch, wherazz in the new religion (Krystian) witch-craft is a syne azz badd azz dis:obedience. The re-founders of the old religion choze a suitabley witchy & pagan name for it. Clear:ly the`y took an interest in philologye: :Wicca is 1 (not the maine) AngleoSaxon ancestor of the English (middle & modern) wurd :witch azz recorded in the Shorter Oxford Dictionary. Clear:ly theighr knoawledg of philologye wase nae all that greate: :Wicca be the male agent noun of :wiccian (witch,verb). The maine AngleoSaxon ancestor is :wicce, the feminine agent noun. This slight grasp of philologye suggesteth that Wicca the religion wase founded short:ly after the Shorter Oxford Dictionary first appeared tu wit 1931.
. The Wiccan Rede
The Wiccan Rede is a summation of the principles of Wicca; prettyh obvhious really. Ande the final 2 verses are a summation of the summation. The moral dewtyh inherent in Wicca is set forth att the out:set. How manye Wiccans take anyh notice of it is aneother matter.
