Religions: Wicca

Wicca as reconstructed by its modern practitioners is a nice, agricultural, emotionally satisfying religion. The earth has its cycles of bloom and harvest, the year has its cycle of waxing and waning darkness, a life has its stages. “God” is male and female–the God and Goddess with their aspects in various roles, the God as hunter, father (or lover?), and patriarch(?), the Goddess as maiden, mother, and crone. Everything that you do, good or bad, comes back to you thrice over. You can tell that I have only a passing acqaintance with the concepts. But if you need a place to go, mingle, chant, celebrate, and feel the mystery and unity of the universe, it seems like a good choice.
