Attacking Wicca

On Youtube.com, along with other social network websites, Wicca has been attacked, mainly by Christians, Atheists, and other Pagans. One of these self-proclaimed Pagans made constant videos on Youtube where he's attacking Wicca and particular Youtube Wiccans. This low-life piece of shit even made a video where he was suggesting that Wiccans are Nazis. While members of the Youtube Pagan community don't always get along, we all banded together and spoke out against the individual, this included the non-Wiccan Pagans. There were even members of the Youtube Satanist community who stood by our side and spoke out against this person. I'm so proud of you who spoke out against him. You know who you are. Since I'm on the topic of Attacking Wicca, here's a list of common attacks on Wicca made from Christians, Atheists, and other Pagans.

Christian Arguments Against Wicca

1. Attack: Wicca is Devil Worship.
Rebuttal: Wiccans don't believe in the devil.
Rebuttal #2: The Devil is an ancient Christian Scare Tactic.

2. Attack: Wiccans are immoral because they don't follow the 10 Commandments.
Rebuttal: The Bible doesn't define morality. Everyone has their own moral code.
Rebuttal #2: Wicca is more moral than many religions because it allwows it's practiciioners to do as they will as long as they harm none.

3. Attack: Wiccans will all have their place in Hell.
Rebuttal: What goes around, comes around. I believe in the Law of Reciprocity as a means of punishment. Hell doesn't make any sense. It's simply a mistranslated concept from Nothern European Paganism. (Hel-Norse Goddess of the Underworld)

Atheist/Secular arguments against Wicca

1. Attack: All Wiccans are Goths/Teenagers/Ill Educated/Drug Abusers/Obese and looking for a place to belong.
Rebuttal: This is a ridiculous over generalization. Recent studies show that Wiccans belong to all walks of life, they have an age range from infantile to elderly and usually have at least a high school education. Also, Wicca does not promote a certain style of fashion other than possibly ritual robes during gatherings and Sabbats. Wicca also promotes a healthy lifestyle.

2. Attack: Wicca is just another delusional belief system
Rebuttal: Is Wicca a delusional belief system because you don't agree with it or because you think that we don't agree with Science? Actually, Wicca agrees with modern science. For example, we agree with evolution. Most promote separation of Church and State. Many of us are scholars of science. We simply believe that Nature is special to us and is our Creator. We see that concept as manifesting through Duality. You can see duality all around us and is scientifically founded.

3. Attack: Magick doesn't exist
Rebuttal: Magick exists in many forms. It's basically what we call things that haven't been explained by science. Since there are plenty of experiences that cannot be measured, the need for the Magickal definition still exists.
Rebuttal #2: Magick is not supernatural, it's working withiin a Natural Universal Concept.

Pagan arguements Against Wicca

1. Attack: Wicca is not the Old Religion
Rebuttal: Wicca is a new evolution of the Old Religion.

2. Attack: Wicca is not Witchcraft
Rebuttal: Wicca is Witchcraft, it's simply a new way of attuning to Nature that takes Ancient Concepts and mixes them with Modern Archetypes. All religions evolve, Wicca is the evolution of Witchcraft. We are still attuning with Nature and honoring the Lord and Lady, just in different, modern ways.
Rebutttal #2: Wicca is the Craft of the Wise. The name is of the same origin and we walk the path of the Old Ones, we just have a better map.

3. Attack: Wicca promotes extreme femenism
Rebuttal: Some Wiccans promote extreme femenism, but most don't. In fact, most Wiccans promotes balance. It's up to the individual how they perceive that balance. As Wiccans, we honor the Lord and Lady. Some feel a calling to the Lady, some to the Lord, that is their perogative.

4. Attack: Wicca is too deluded with no set beliefs
Rebuttal: Wicca actually has better outlined beliefs than many other Pagan religions that existed before it. There are 13 Principles of Wicca. I suggest you read them.
Rebuttal #2: Wicca, although popularized by media in a somewhat negative or "fluffy" light, is a serious and well founded religion. We honor all paths that harm none and seek to find personal spirituality within an evolutionary concept.

5. Attack: Wiccans are sharing information that is to be kept secret.
Rebuttal: The only thing that kept information secret was fear of retribution from Christians. Now is the time to release the information back for everyone to access. We need to give them information and ethics of how to use it. That's where Wicca steps in. With it's clear cut opening of occult knowledge and ethics that are second to none. we bring forth a new evolution of Witchcraft
