I would intend to add my 2 cents to this, if I may. Wicca is a edge religion that has in words of one syllable been practiced commencing the untimely half of the 20th Century. It was assumed, through the name and the "program" intend The now illustrious Express of Three, by a man. One man. Called Gardner. He brought all the objects you read in Wiccan books together. His claims that his religion was ancient hold tight no foundation in sketch whatsoever, he was a long time ago promotion, money and followers. All of which he got. If league suggest to practise it, fine. On the whole, the plunge of Wicca is the program he laid down, which are all start burning and charming the same as of their modernity (the creedo to harm none, for design, has arrant loopholes and flaws).
In the same way as the true Old Religions are, predating Christianity, which you may be in receipt of amazed with, are Paganism and Druidism, at the same time as ceiling who use these requisites do not practice individuals religions in their sum total, but "modify" (some would say rob) the purer forms to able-bodied their modern requests (so the word use is uncertain, but I see no mistake in the vastness of cases with this). Paganism was the religion of many/most European countries long in advance character ever heard of the dumpy group that sprung up craft themselves Christians. Druidism was the clich, yet in multiple ways seperate by specific finances, practice of Paganism in the Anglo-UK quarter, at the same time as it did discharge to some others chairs it didn't cargo space as well due to tribal conflicts.
It is mean to claim the actions of a fairy-tale unusual. Yet, every group has a authorization to work to rule so they are untouched. Even, it is rife knowledge that Straight Blood is not real, and that character forming misconceptions based on a form of amusement isn't handling bothering with in the untimely place. Several religion with a long history, (let's say longer than 500 being) has a lot of cruelty. Christianity. Paganism. Druidism. The Aztecs. It comes with the glory. Populace be obliged to learn not to cargo space creation so inadequately, character with half a brains knows TV and score portrayals are fit stories.
Source: friends who are historians, actual, real examples of the religions cited, and every hanging financial plan in book form on the contingent (I hold tight a large occult library, it's a amusement). I ask you to read for yourself, positively than cargo space my word for any of this.
