I think I mentioned on your intro thread that I toyed around with the idea of Wicca but (and the following is no disrespect to other Wiccans - I lived in a bumfuck town) the few outwardly Wiccan kids at my school were all mouth-breathers and not people I wanted to be associated with. I love learning about folklore and mythology and symbolism, but eventually I realized I just didn't give a good goddamn past that. My rosebushes are more interesting. I was bat mitzvahed in a conservative temple, confirmed in a reform temple, spent a few years hiding my discontent and disinterest thanks to an overly Baptist boyfriend, and two years ago I met two fantastic atheists, one of who inadvertently led me to Shell and here, and...suddenly it was like someone took a vice off from around my chest.I can't understand how someone can really be a wiccan. I know believing that allah exists or "jesus is magic" is no more stupid than this but I can understand effects of years of brainwashing.
