You asked if I was a Christian. I was answering that question. As far as Wicca is concerned, they do worship nature. And they do have a religion based on beliefs in gods of the earth, wind, water, and fire.
From what I have deducted, sometime in the past, others must have been offered the same. It is no coincidence.
Now how was the earth and the universe formed? The Bible states that God did not create it directly but he did it through his son, now known as Jesus, his first creation, and he is in charge of all the angels.
It is obvious that these spirits have abilities given them to help in the creation. They have superhuman knowledge. Demon means knowledge. They have power over the elements, before they had much power. Now, they don't have so much. Wiccans believe in all of this, but have no idea who they are worshiping.
Ok thank you for your reply.
Could you imagine just for a second that there is no bible? that there is no God or Jesus and the demons you speak of are not what you think?
I ask this as a genuine question because otherwise this will turn into another thread about God and that is not what I was talking about.
I hope you take this comment in the way that it was intended and I look forward to to your continuing contribution.
Yes I can image there is no Bible. There was none when Adam and Eve were created.
There was none when Cain killed Able.
There wasn't one when the Israelites were freed from Egypt. Many thousands of years of human history passed without a Bible. And even what we have of God's word was completed around the year 98 C. E. So we have much more knowledge than most of humankind ever had.
Now, even back when no Bible existed everyone knew who Jehovah was. And the mystery religions were founded in Babylon, after Nimrod was put to death at the behest of Shem. His wife had to go into hiding. There is a reason why the mystery religions were always occult. And all of the ancient gods have similitiers, such as Simiriamis and Isis. Nabonidis and Osisris.
If you have any occult knowledge at all you know that all mystery religions, and occult secret societies were born in Babylon of old. And all pagan, and thus Wiccan beliefs come from there too. Even without a Bible we can deduct that.

Odd. I wonder who taught it to the Druids and the Celts?

"You mentioned the devil and satan, Do you believe that is what Wiccans involve themselves with?"
NO! Wicca, true Wiccans, do not believe in Satan or devils.
I had to ask because you mentioned it in your post, thank you.

Check my post with video inserted for no mention of Bible in post.
ETA: I should say the there are understandings that can only be found in the word of truth there, but most of what is linked together is not of Biblical origins, rather of Babylonian origin.

Ok I watched your you tube vid. It was pretty good.
I will happily talk about this at some other point as we may agree.
Can you tell me how this ties in with my OP regarding Wicca please?
That way all of your comments and especially your vid have merit.
As I say I like your vid and take on board what your saying but where does this tie in to the conversation in point?

The druids and ancient celts were not "wiccans". Wicca is a 19th/20th century invention. A fake "religion" that basically borrowed from a bunch of much older pagan traditions and deities. Basically concocted by Margaret Murray and later spread by various "initiates". While some of the deities in the religion might be dated back to Druidic times, the religion of Wicca itself most certainly does not.
Where does it come from/ Does it have a place in modern society.
What have you heard about witches?

So babylon was around 25,000 years ago? "We see the first evidence of spiritual practice in Europe 25,000 years ago" according to the site below.

When I took Magic, Witchcraft, and Religion in college I was taught Wicca had its roots in Shamanism.
I was also told the origins of the witches riding on brooms was due to these women coating their house brooms with a psychedelic. It would then be absorbed transdermally by placing it between their legs. They would indeed 'fly', just not not in the physical world, but rather the spiritual world. Which is again quite shamanic in nature.
That's what I was told anyways He was a rather eccentric instructor.
