I said “If wicca is taking obscure hindu gods, it isnt a continuation of European paganism.
Wiccan is a modern, made up religion like Scientology”
you write “but in name only”
Huh?
And your point of “the oldest religion” is unprovable - we don’t know the “oldest religion” — Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism,etc. claim to be the “oldest religion” or the “original religion”
Full disclosure - I’m Christian so I’m going to be biased for Judaeo-Christianity.
“witchcraft is over a 1000 years old” — err.. no. Witchcraft was a catch-all phrase used for stuff that was local gods, herbology etc. it was never a united set of beliefs until the 20th century.
Wiccans take 20thcentury ideas and earlier century fairy tales and make them into a religion - no different than Scientology or Jedi-ism
