Wicca Will Be The 3rd Largest Religion In The U.S. By 2012
"Wicca is the fastest-growing religion in America, set to be the third largest religion by 2012," says Marla Alupoaicei, the co-author of the controversial book "Generation Hex".
Alupoaicei also claims that "The numbers of adherents are doubling every 30 months".
There are now over 700,000 websites for Wiccans, and there are communities of Wiccans in every major city in the United States.
This comes at a time when there is a mass exodus from many of the churches of the western world.
Women, in particular, seem to be leaving many traditional churches at a blinding pace. An English church census recently found that more than 50,000 women a year are leaving the Anglican church.
And many of these women (and men) are deserting traditional Christianity for Wicca and other forms of pagan religion.
Even young people seem to be really taking to Wicca. The Pagan Federation in the United Kingdom reportedly receives hundreds of enquiries from teenagers every single day.
Harry Potter and other media such as "Charmed", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and "The Craft" have helped make Wicca and witchcraft increasingly popular in recent years.
In particular, the Harry Potter series is having a tremendous influence on how young people view spirituality.
The Harry Potter series of books and movies is the single biggest phenomenon among the kids of this current generation. The film posted below shows that Harry Potter is not just a fun fantasy diversion for our children, but also that Harry Potter portrays witchcraft and the Occult with stunning accuracy, and that these books and films are aggressively recruiting young children into the world of darkness:
NO WONDER YOU DIDNT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSES... YOUR COMMENTS AND USAUGE OF THE HARRY POTTER MOVIE TO INDICATE THAT WICCA IS FOR SATANIST IS JUST YOUR FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL OVER YOUR OWN RELIGION WHO TEACHES US THAT IF WE DONT DO AS GOD WISHES HE WILL SEND US TO HELL.....
YOU ALL NEED TO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT ABOUT WICCA AND ITS PATH. LEARN MORE BEFORE YOU SPEAK. AND CHILDREN AT THAT AGE DONT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FANTASY AND FACT AND THAT IS UP TO THEIR PARENTS TO TEACH THEM THE DIFFERENT.
WE KNOW THE TRUTH..... GET WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there something wrong, with people wanting more 'charmed' lives? Wanting to be able to take more control of themselves/get in touch with themselves in another way.
Also, wicca is not a path of darkness. Where -did- you get that from? The bible? Sorry. That just doesn't cut it.
Harry Potter doesn't 'recruit' anyone. Neither does Buffy or any of the other shows.
A true wiccan is a wiccan from birth. We don't convert. We just find our truth about who we are.
We're not interested in elves, magic, occult, mysteries, fairies and so on because we watch these shows or read those books. We read those books and watch those shows, because we're interested in those things.
A wiccan and a satanist are not the same. They're even far away from eachother. You should read some actual books written -by- wiccans before opening your mouth.
Compairing satanism and wicca is insulting both sides.
Satanism and Harry Potter having a connection? Get a grip! LOL! Satanistic lightening-bulb? Could it be that Marilyn Manson got that from something else than satanism? Also, Harry's scar. What do you want it to be instead? A flower? OH. And everytime there's a thunderstorm it's a satanist blinking? Dude. You need to get a grip and probably some education too. O.o
No. Highschool aint enough.

How silly. We Pagans don't believe in your mythical Satan. We see him as a Christian cop out to avoid taking responsibility for your own actions. In order be a Satanist, one must have a Christian belief system. We Pagans do not have that system.
I was raised Pagan, I'm 47. Actually, Satan and Hell were not originally Christian concepts. Read, research what you espouse.
Gehenna was actually a garbage dump outside of the city.
One should read, I realize that for centuries the Church used this faith as a method of controlling the masses, and that is still a factor today.
One big thing to remember, we respect your faith, but invariably, Chritians do not respect other people's beliefs.
