Welcome Helen! glad to have you here.

I've been exploring Wicca myself. What I have found so interesting is the way in which christianity has borrowed so freely from Wicca and other pagan spiritual paths. Candles, symbolism, incense, even the similarities between "Holy Days" and the pagan counterparts. They even use a derivative of the Goddess Astarte to name resurrection day: Easter! Christianity has had to paint Wicca as evil to keep its followers from investigating ancient spirituality and discovering the similarities.
