I have been studying and reading about Paganism (Wiccan is a branch of paganism) for about four years. (I'm 15 now aswell) and I'd call myself a non-practicing Paganist. = I believe in paganism and Gaia but I do not practice the hollydays or diffrent spells etc, eventhough I do meditate reguarly.
Paganism is one of the oldest religions on earth together with hinduism and budhism. AKA how can you belive in god and paganism (or wicca) at the same time when Paganism was atleast ten thousand years older than christianity? Christianity took alot of things from Paganism. etc, the pentacle (five pointed star which represent the five elements) and turned it around to make it the symbol of satan. just as satan was "stolen" from the greek god Pan. There are several branches of paganism that believe in several gods. But most (including me) believe in Gaia which is the greek worth for earth and is more an essence than a actual thinking being. A power which bind every being on earth together (this includes stones, animals, water, grass, trees,) everything is living and must be respected.
Though when many people wish to pray to Gaia and ask favours / help / protection from her (Gaia is normally seen as a female eventhough as a essence it doesnt have a gender) they divide her into the godess and god since its easier to picture such. Asking help from the god for masculine traits and virsa versa with the godess.

Now if you would just search for "Wicca" on the internet the first thing that would come up is http://www.wicca.com/ where you can find hours upon hours of reading material. They also got a newsletter that you can subscribe to, and a internet shop where you can buy several ingredients and quality books.

Hope it somewhat helped, say if you have any questions and I will try to answer them.
Blessed be.
I'll try to put this simply, so your 15 year old "expert" mind can wrap around my point.

WICCA

BULLSHIT

AND

A

TOTAL

SCAM

GROW

THE

FUCK

UP
