Kitalpha Hart I have a friend I think is Wicca, by how she talks about energy she picks up from various stones and items and such I don't feel anything o.e A "friend" that claimed that she could use telepathy and see ghosts tried the former with me. Said I had shields she couldn't get through. Granted, I didn't believe her and was so thinking 'this is stupid' nonstop... Sweep. I'm borrowing them from a different friend when she gets them, but Wicca is in it. Learned a bit from it So I'm interested in it more for study so that I don't sound like a complete idiot when around Wiccans Had a Shadowscapes tarot deck, but they got wet and now I need a new deck :I
Hi, I'm Wiccan and she was not lying at all. Some people shields, internal walls, or barriers just come natural to them. However, before you try any magick or start practicing it from whomever you learn it from.. I GREATLY behoove you to know of the Wiccan rede. Especially the three fold law.
I hope you and your studies go well, but just remember, study with no ill in your heart for yourself or others.
Blessed Be. smile

Blessed Be. smile the second person I mentioned is also a liar to the point where no one believes her, even if she is telling the truth. She claimed to be physic in middle school. Junior year in high school, I asked her if she remembered that. She denied it and said that I had made it up. She wanted to become Wiccan at the end of our junior year, but I think it was with ill intent against her dad
My first friend I believe, as she's not one to lie. The third just likes the Sweep series
But I prefer studying religions over practicing them. Too many bad memories from when I was young to follow one now

StrayKit Not all that familiar with the Native American side of paganism, and sadly no one I'm around or know is familiar with anything involving it generally speaking. but hi! and yay for brining threads back from death ^_^ geez I haven't heard to the series Sweep in years. I had a friend try and get me into the series but never really picked it up o.o and like Haunting said, energy and shields and such are real but if this friend of yours was constantly lying about stuff I'd say there's at least a 50/50 shot she was lying about that too. feeling energy in stones and objects is a lot more common from what I've heard and dealt with (my mom hands me stones all the time asking about them with about five different questions attached...) and for sure check out the Wiccan Rede. it's pretty easy to find and has a lot that wiccans follow, or try to, some don't. if you want to learn more about wiccan, or paganism in general which it was it and a lot more falls under, I'd encourage you to look around where you live for any kind of New Age store. a lot of people in those stores are very nice and willing to answer any questions you could have, and can even point you to a few books about it if you want only ethnic we really have here is Mexican :/ If she wasn't a constant liar, then yes, I would have had a better chance at believing her Sweep isn't too bad, really -sigh- I wonder how different my life would be if I did follow a religion/cult...

well when you say cult you make it sound like some horrible brain washing thing XD
it doesn't really have to be different, does it? I mean some people think religion or spirituality or whatever you want to call it has to change your life some drastic way but really, I don't think it has to do that

I'm not as extreme as my dad. For him, religion=cult
And it depends. The word you use, phrases, thoughts. They can be influenced by the religion. Such as 'Blessed Be' from Wiccans. Shalom is a greeting in Islam. So religions will influence you to different extents, which is why studying them is more educational than actually being in them, IMO Granted, I might miss out on several things that might be reserved for the members of that religion/cult, but it's always possible to learn them from a willing member

cool! I've never heard of hedgecraft before though...and it is possible to be wiccan and not part of a coven, it's really common actually. there's solitary practitioners, people who do things on their own. covens can be tricky, they might not be what you're looking for or be close but you still aren't comfortable with it, so a lot of people stick to solitary practice. a lot of people think that to be wiccan you have to be part of it like....how a lot of people think you can't really be Christian if you don't go to church regularly, or something like that.
well in comparison those are still not huge changes. I mean some people think religion or spirituality or what have you will completely change everything about their lives, but it isn't always true. you are right though, learning about it and being part of it gives different experiences. studying religions over all and learning about them, the history, importance, meanings, teachings, all of that is still great though. and there is a lot of absolutely gorgeous and amazing artwork and architecture built through out the years that came from a basis in one religion or another too.

I suggest you go to the link that I posted for the other two girls. I'm terrible at explaining things. And these other ladies will clear things up for you and what it means to wiccan.
