Wicca Season!
I walked to my nearby Border’s at lunch time today and found that just in time for Halloween, it’s Wicca Season! There was a whole little Wicca section prominently displayed at the top of the escalator. Hey! When did Wicca become mainstream? Here are the books for sale.
The Idiot’s Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft
Magical Almanac
Since I didn’t have pen and paper, I decided to record a voice note of the titles on my cell phone. After doing this I felt I must have looked like some fanatic outraged by Wicca. I’m sure some of my more conservative Christian friends would probably be put off by this, along with Halloween as well. My feelings about Wicca are neutral. Flipping through one of the books I got the impression that Wicca is another largely harmless form of spiritualism. While I myself am a Christian, I believe that anything that can get you closer to God is a good thing. If Jesus taught us anything at all, it is that God wants us to get to know him personally and the form this will take will depend on the individual.

Well said. Wicca is becoming more and more accepted and therefore is becoming more mainstream. I just hope that more Christians become as open minded as you.
