I am wiccan and I live in South Carolina (home of the baptists).  I am always looked upon as being bad and evil.  I just need a hug to keep me believing that I am not what they say I am.  Thanks.

Dearest sister,

You are a powerful, beautiful, capable, loving woman. Wicca is based on the precept of "Harm None". As difficult as it can be, try to send Love and forgiveness to those who are ignorant. It continues to amaze me that these religions that preach Love thy neighbour are the first to cast stones at anything that is other.

Are you a Solitary or a member of a coven? If a solitary, have you tried an online coven or perhaps a Goddess school. These are wonderful places to share stories without judgement or criticism. This forum also seems like a good place to just be who you are authentically.

I think any of us who are other tend to feel less than the mainstream at times. I was raised a Catholic and the first time I cast a circle, I was so ashamed and embarassed  thinking I might be found out, even though I have not been part of that religion for 20+ years, I still harbour the fears and thoughts that were instilled into me. And they say were the evil ones... sigh....

Brightest Blessings to you

Lila

Being strong makes us who we are
And as Lila suggests forgive them...they know not!
I was exposed to a baptist church as a child and I remember feeling terrified...
I am not wiccan, and honestly know little about it... but I believe in loving everyone and everything...love given is love returned
So I am sending love and light and a BIG HUGE (((((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))))))) to you from me!!!!

A big Hug to you...yea...it's a bit scary...the less people understand about thing....the more they make fantasy about it...instead of collecting real knowledge
