Hi James! Nice to have you on the site! Yeah I didn't know you could be Wiccan and reject the supernatural beliefs of it. That's cool!

Well, not much going on here so I will throw in my shilling's worth. I went straight from Family Traditional Wicca to atheism. (Last October, my wife finally got to me.)

Though I have been peripherally involved with other groups of Wiccans, mostly my practice was solitary in nature (pun, solitary, nature, oh never mind).

I always viewed the ideas of God and Goddess more as archetypes than as real beings, thus letting go of Wicca was not as difficult as I might have imagined. (I still wear my pentacle though, A-it's sliver, B-it still works as a talisman to repel Christian missionaries).

I find here in my new village in Nebraska that the villagers are even less comfortable with the idea I am an atheist than they were with me as a Wiccan (the old "you gotta believe in something" canard).

Until I met my wife, I'd never run into someone who'd rejected the supernatural premises of Wicca, though she still runs a Wiccan-oriented Website (for that matter, I'd not run into very many Wiccans at all, particularly when I was in the Navy)

Can anyone recommend some documentaries about the Salem Witch Trials or witch trials in New England?

Super good! Just got back from the California Academy of Sciences. Great way to spend a Saturday with friends!

Yeah that is a good idea to have a book like that Selina.

How's everyone doing?

I would like stories of leaving your religion for my anthology. I am looking for a story about 12 pages give or take. I am including one story for each religion in my book. I am a former muslim and my story will be included as well.

Hi Don!  I have a big old Mjolnir tattooed on my left arm, I still wear my pentacle because I like what it represents, I still worship Mother Earth in my respect for the actual planet that supports me.  I kind of just dropped the religitardation that accompanies all magical/religious belief systems.  I love the old gods as poetry and metaphor.
