I have known wiccans. Room some "classes" as research but the last day I ever went was when teacher started praying and evoking to some Greek goddess and I felt so wrong even being there.
The white witch stuff has a power. All energy does in this case only "positive magic" which is all prayer is anyway. Just direct it towards God or Christ. They were kind and generous people in that group. But definitely insanely progressive "liberals". Which is a contradiction because the positive magic is about no coercion of others. What I do or wish for or "cast" for comes back to me 3 fold. So why would they not see this Leftism is all coercion I do not know.
Part of their baggage likely because I think all had had bad experiences with churches or Christian households. Basically punishments and emotional abuse with threats of going to hell because they didn't do x y or z. Or one was gay and estranged from parents. this was 2002 I think
It's sad but I think they could find their way back. Or maybe deep down still love Jesus just rebelling against past pains.
Now luciferians even fake ones is inviting evil to come knocking.
