After seeing many threads here on paganspace.net whereby Pagans exhibit or express a less-than-tolerant view of Wicca and Wiccans, I would like to use my profile now to remind Pagans here about the close and historical relationship between Neopaganism and Wicca. Where these movements are now becoming more separate than they were some years ago when I began my official journey into the modern Neopagan Movement, Wicca and Paganism are *still* not only related by the Gods as well as the cultures that gave rise to the Divinities recognized, but are also related by similar goals and needs in the larger world today. I will also remind Pagans here that many Wiccans are also Pagans. There is no reason for any Pagan sect to find itself more "well read" "more researched" "more founded" "more correct in practice" "more validated" or any such, over Wiccans. If you just don't like Wiccans, say, 'I just don't like Wiccans' rather than try to use your purported superiority to exclude those here who are Wiccan from the use of this website, as well as discredit Wiccans here without any foundation, evidence, or otherwise scientifically-gathered proof. Anything less is Pagan snobbery. If this is your case, grow up. Learn tolerance.

*Note: If you read some of these articles, you will notice the interrelation of historical figures who went on to found Wicca, Asatru, the ADF etc., as well as the commonality of statements like "Nature-based" "the ancient religions".

Just don't be a hater. Look carefully at my "About me"!
Thank you for sharing your views with me about Initiations and their importance. I do agree with you on many on the points you stated. I do however believe that it is important to the person themselves and whether or not they feel like it is important to their spiritual path. I am comfortable with my practices enough to feel that the practices are a "daily" initiation to the Craft.
