There are no Wiccan "powers" nor is there any spell that will produce them, I would imagine anyone claiming to have come from a "long line of wiccans" to have already known this. Also, as previously stated, Wicca was not around "the burning times"; Wicca is a fairly modern religion. Stating that your great, great, onward grandmother was wiccan is ridiculous as Wicca was not an established religion until the 50's; it would be more believable if you would say witch rather than Wiccan. You are quite right that everyone is entitiled to their own belief system, although we also are entitled to our opinion of it. No one here is persecuting you, they are simply stating they're opinion on the topic you brought up.

Absolutely Brysing.

One author's claims have long been disproven. The other makes up stuff as she goes along. Really good resources to try to prove your point.

And no, Wicca isn't ancient. It was indeed started by Gerald Gardner in the 1930's and not made public until 1951 with the repeal of the anti-witchcraft laws in Britain. The idea that it was ancient has not been suggested by any reliable authors since the mid-1990's.

For solid historical information on Wicca one should be reading:

"Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton

"Witchfather" by Phillip Heselton
