I’m not sure Wiccans really know what they’re practicing because there doesn’t appear to be any line that carried it down through the ages.

Most of what they practice was made up in the last 30 or 40 years.

I agree. It's just that "theoretically" Wicca can trace itself back to druids or mid-wives, or whatever from many centuries ago. That's BS, but it's what they tell themselves. In fact, it's a 20th century phenom trying to act like something primitive. But the Satanism thing can't even make that attempt. It's basically the creation of Anton LaVey from the 1960s. He was a messed up dude who wanted to get laid. It's nothing like a religion.

Back in the middle ages of the internet, whenever that was ( the nineties, I guess, ) I found a Wiccan web page that had a moon image for its logo, but it was the widely promulgated "Apollo 11 moon", an image taken from 10 or 20 thousand miles away, and from a perspective not seen from earth, although it does show most of the familiar maria.

Oh, the irony.

This image appeared in many movies and ads. It's used in BEASTMASTER, which was the first time I noticed it. It did a multi-year stint as the night time orb for the Weather Channel, which corrected this "error," such as it was, a few years ago.
