It's like Wicca is the color violet...but think of the many shades of purple it can be and how beautiful it is to blend the pale blue of say Bhuddism next to the violet. And Wicca is broad and there are paths within paths...you may find a special interest such as history, scrying, candle making, ...it is endless...and non discriminatory. Like true love, it is all inclusive.

very well put Wind -

I wouldnt put a label on it :) Just enjoy what you believe in and take things from all different areas of paganism

Useful advice. Explore what you are drawn to w/ giving your self the flexibility to take from any belief system what works & declining what doesn't. Different things appeal to us at different stages of our journey as we naturally grow & expand.

It may be that some things from various belief systems work better combined than any one separately. Synergy.

None of the religions or belief systems really gets it all right. Some of them get parts of it right, so taking from all systems is highly beneficial, really necessary.

Don't hesitate to create your own rituals or energy procedures.
