"Well, I'm a solitary um... Neo-Wiccan... I guess. I honestly don't see why Gardnerians and Alexandrians are on a pillar above other Wiccans. Most of what is the "history" of Wicca was stuff that Gardner made up. Most of what the Alexandrians do is just a bit changed from Gardner's BOS, so they're in basically the same boat. I think that Wicca has a bit of poetic license built into it just because of its history. But that's just me.
I don't consider myself a Neo-Wiccan, really. I'm Wiccan. Wicca itself is neo enough as it is! I can't say that I wouldn't join a BTW coven, but right now I'm not looking to. (Was invited to... But no. Some day ask about my rant on Paganism on Long Island!) Right now, all I want to do is live my life according to the tenets that ARE there, and be the best Wiccan I can be. These rules are both the ones found in Gardner's BOS and rules that I set for myself. (For example, I have incorporated my straight edge lifestyle into my spirituality.)
Honestly though... All the different words don't mean a thing to me at the end of the day. I go home, I meditate, and I feel completely and utterly Wiccan to my very core. Whether or not others feel that's the most appropriate term doesn't matter in my private thoughts. "
I'm a member of several pagan websites and I see a lot of people who share this view. This person is a moderator on the site so I assume people look up to her.
I was wondering what people think of this point of view.
