Now I know that most of the things on this thread are non-Pagan related but this genuinely does piss me off. I'm reading a novel on a site called Wattpad so it's all like amateur writers and some are fantastic. One story that I enjoy so much had various imaccurate Wiccan references about the religion dating back centuries and all that. Now, I'm used to people being like that but it's late and I got a tad mad so I said, "Maybe you should do some actual, legit research before putting false info into your stories? Wicca only dates back to the 1950's or so."
This author replies, "Uhm, how about you do some research? Wicca goes well back into at least the 1800's."
if that wasn't enough to get under my skin, some random person chimes in, "Well Wicca is a newer form of Paganism which has been around since before Christianity. So basically you could call it whatever you want."
idk about anyone else and it could be that I'm exhausted and can't sleep cuz I'm sick but... I'm pretty sure she just said all Pagans are Wiccans.. I addressed both comments with evidence to back up my claims.
Again, just needed to get this off of my chest because this is the first time someone has actually tried to teach me about my own beliefs. I could just be ranting and I could totally be wrong, idk but... If someone has ever tried to tell you about what you believe then perhaps you can relate lol. Again, I give all of you free reign to tell me I'm just not thinking straight right now.
