Recently my friend introduced me to Wicca. I was so intrigued and captured that I began to look into it. Many of the characteristics of neopaganism appealed to me, such as a love for nature, desire to better ones self, and a benign compassion that goes out to all, be them wretched or otherwise. I haven't yet had the chance to cast or practice any. I come from a family of Christians and they all condemned me and I let the subject fall from their minds before coming back to it. Any tips are welcome. :)
