unlike you scott im more of a "secret" wiccan, only letting people that I am close to know((that is, off the internet of course)) such as friends, I would never tell my family, friends is something you can gain back but family is not, one reason I never tell people in my family is because news gets around fast in it and alot of them are christians so they would go beserk, especailly my uncle tony who goes to church five times a week.Scott Gardener wrote:We call it different names, but it's the same idea. As a Wiccan, I ought to call it Yule and celebrate it on the 21st, but I grew up calling it Christmas. Most people call it that, regardless of religious preference. Sure, the name's origin is Christian, but if that bothers some fellow Pagans, keep in mind that the holiday itself ultimately is a Pagan one; Jesus' birth date is unknown, but the date was chosen to coincide with the rebirth of a Pagan Sun God. Suffice it to say, Merry Christmas, and Gods Bless us, every one of them.
It's true that it's no formal secret. (Otherwise, I wouldn't tell the whole planet. Though "Scott Gardener" is a pseudonym, it's more for the sake of spam prevention than total anonymity, since I occasionally mention my real name of Jon Coolidge. Thus, it's entirely possible in theory for anyone on Earth with Internet access, a good search engine, and sufficient interest in the matter to learn that some doctor out there named Jon Coolidge is a Wiccan.)unlike you scott im more of a "secret" wiccan
