Current Events > There are now more WITCHES than PRESBYTERIANS in the UNITED STATES!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

The number of self-identified WITCHES or SORCERERS in the United States now outnumber PRESEBYTERIANS with 1.5 MILLION witches vs 1.4 Million Presebyterians!!

A survey by the Pew Research Centre found that 0.4% of Americans identify as Wicca or Pagan and experts believe the explosion of the witch population is due to millenial women's embracing of new age spirituality, mindfulness, meditation and yoga

Wicca, aka Witchcraft is a Pagan religion that emerged in the UK in the early 20th century. Based on "pre-Christian traditions" it was popularized by a retired British civil servant named Gerald Gardner.

They praise nature and nature's gods and goddesses and practice in parks, gardens or fields and achieve self awakening through dancing, singing, chanting and use herbs and incense but it has NO CONNECTIONS to SATANISM which is often confused with.

The 5 points represent the elements of nature, earth, fire and water and the spirit.

This means that more people exploring other faiths and customs outside of mainstream christianity as witches often has misogynistic connotations and used as a pejorative as modern day witches adopted a lifestyle as an expression of feminism.

The Hoodwitch, a witch influencer now has 329,000 followers on instagram

Would you rather be a Witch/Sorcerer or a Presbyterian?

Honestly, most of the neo-pagan religions I've studied have basically been a spiritual spin on environmentalism and humanitarianism. The 'magic' aspect is bullshit, of course, but most religions are more about ritualistic behavior reinforcing ideas than actual 'magic'.

Sorcerer. Can someone point me to the nearest School for the Mystic Arts?
