"My impression from a discussion I heard recently is that Wicca is just old-fashioned paganism revived---nature worship."

Actually, we follow (not worship) a god and goddess of our choosing (or do they choose us?), and we see their presence in nature. We do not worship nature per se.

There are white Wiccans like there are white, uh, lawyers, I guess--those sworn to seeking out justice for the downtrodden and always fighting the good fight.

Then there are those Wiccans (like me), who are more pragmatic.

Consider me set straight. Thanks for the lesson and I hope you don't mind if I say a prayer or two for you :)

Yeah, I knew that was a simplification---just trying to give a quick snapshot impression for those who have no concept of Wicca at all.

...like there are white, uh, lawyers, I guess

LOL! We know which realm they belong to, and which god they serve!

...there are those Wiccans (like me), who are more pragmatic"

Uh, oh. The priest who gave the discussion viewed the more "pragmatic" forms as dangerous to the soul.

I pray that the Holy Spirit of God touches your heart, and opens it for Jesus Christ to enter. There is indeed a God, and He wants you to know Him and love Him... in fact, that's why He created us... so he could have a relationship with us

It's by ignoring Him (or replacing Him with our own gods) that we hurt Him the most. It's by accepting and loving His Son Jesus that we are redeemed for that sin, and for all others.
