> How would one attack a wiccan?
Well, I've seen them beaten up. Killing someone's pet in a gruesome manner is hardly new either.
An attack does not need to be some fiendishly clever strategem... a fist in the nose is quite adequate to classify as an attack. Bizarro mutilation of a bird with no particualr logic would do it as well. And while you may not consider head-theft to be something Wicca-related, some dumbass who doesn't like Wiccans might. There is sufficient lack of understanding of "pagans" that many people will believe pretty much anything.
This person didn't simply beat a wiccan up. Or even simply kill a pet.

Hence, the use of a very deliberate strategem is intriguing.

No, actually, my point was although it's not something wiccan would do, it's a surprisingly good way to disturb a wiccan. If it's just a random attempt, it's an uncannily good one.
I'm not sure where you're going with this, though. My point was to acknowledge it *could* be a Christian, even though it didn't appear to be one. If you're trying to criticize why I had initially thought it was unlikely to be one, you're off the focus of why I had thought it wasn't one.
for most Wiccans I have met you take away their chocolate.
And "pagan" is one of those terms that gets batted around and is NOT synonymous with "Wiccan".
A person who is a Pipe-Carrier for Elk or Wolf counts as a pagan. So does an Australian first-Man who belives in teh Dream time and talks to his ancesters.
Has NOTHING in common with Wicca.
( and there are several different flavors of THAT!)
And stuff that grew out of the British and European Mystic Lodge tradition.
Soem is good. Some is bad. Some is in-between or just a beer drinking society.
A lot of it is fruit-cakeism.
