For the last couple of weeks, I've been attempting an experiment of sorts. I've been attempting to stick myself in a box and figure out if an established faith system is close to what I'm leaning towards.
The reason I'm asking about Wicca in particular is that I lean towards a (mainly) duotheist type of theology (it's actually much more complicated in my head). Obviously, a person that is simply duotheist (that is, believes in a God and Goddess) isn't necessarily Wiccan... but why? Is it the Rede that primarily makes one Wiccan? Or a belief in thrice-fold karma? Reincarnation?
What if a person believes in a God that isn't the Horned Lord of the Forest and believes in a Goddess that isn't simply Mother Nature?
I'm not interested in self-initiated vs coven-initiated. I'm talking about strictly beliefs and world-view.
