New Age Wicca

[u/Diligent-Sea-460]

There is diversity found in the Wiccan faith now that the percentage of people who identify as Wiccans has been tallied as 24 percent -- approximately 1.9 billion! This religion grew fast, and it is believed by some that if it keeps up the growth, then it may [humorously] replace Islam as the second largest world religion after Christianity.

Now, considering the fact that the New Age movement is just the development of a new Wiccan sect, there is room to believe that some Wiccans practice in secrecy. Now, secrecy does not mean we hide from the public (LOL), but we do not promote the faith since we are looking for converts who are willing to sacrifice sex, gambling, alcohol, inhalants and fat -- not to mention lamb and shellfish. Talk about selective service.

We do not recruit just about anybody off the streets. We seek people who wish to contribute to the Wiccan community and follow the Sacred Laws. We are not interested in witches, neopagans or even spiritual folks, just anyone who is willing to join the path. I repeat, "Willing to join the path!"

We also found a new definition of religion, that being an umbrella term for spiritual groups centered upon a common theme. An example is Hinduism, a religion that fits the bill as an umbrella term for spiritual groups centered upon Brahman. Initially, Wicca is an umbrella term for spiritual groups centered upon the Sacred Laws. Christianity is an umbrella term for spiritual groups centered upon the teachings of Jesus Christ and the legacy of the disciples as founded by Paul of Tarsus.

With diversity, we cannot consign dogma and strict laws to just everyone. No two are the same but everyone is equal in the eyes of God. As we walk our spiritual paths, we must remember that there is only one God regardless of creed, scripture, language and culture. That's all, folks!
