Wicca is bullshit. As for other pagan(or otherwise) religions- also bullshit. I mean, I grew up Catholic and my best friend since kindergarten untill about 6th grade( I couldn't deal with her after that because she was so brainwashed by her parents) was raised Kimetic Orthodox. They taught me to read tarot cards, mirror/water scry, and so on. I got pretty good at all of it, but if you do that and don't realize that you knew the answer in the first place and it's all like an ink-blot test... you're fucking crazy or stupid. And they were all both of those.
My problem with any kind of faith is that it allows pseudo-science and things that sound nice to become the law of the land. Karma, happy water chrystals, jesus riding dinosaurs, and so on... it's so fucking destructive. If one more person tells me about how ice chrystals turn out perfect if you say nice things to the water, there will be serious carnage. Anyone who knows remotely anything about science knows that study was flawed like a son'bitch.
Meditation, mantra, and sigilization are empowering if you're into that kind of thing, but it's all in your head. Is it theraputic? Yes. Will it increase your confidence and change your perception of a situation, making a problem easier to deal with emotionally? Possibly. Is it world altering? Hell no. Not even a little.
