My family gets this Catholic magazined called This Rock (just recently changed to Catholic Answers, I think, but that's beside the point). This Rock features a lot of different articles, and is overall a fantastic magazine for Catholics with both vast knowledge of their faith or more limited knowledge, people interested in the faith, etc. It's a high quality magazine with great writers and excellent articles that a reader can really sink his/her teeth into.
In the most recent issue, there was an article about the growing popularity of paganism in the US, Wicca in particular. This, of course, grabbed my attention, and upon reading it I was not disappointed. In my opinion, the article was written well, informative, and very interesting.
Obviously, I thought of a lot of my friends while I was reading it, particularly you guys, as I know a handful of are are/were practicing Wiccans (or, at the very least, have knowledge about the practice). The article was so interesting that I decided to scan it and post the pages here for you to read if you'd like. I'd really love to hear your thoughts on this article. Of course, it's a Catholic work for a Catholic evangelism magazie, so the author takes a very clear stance; it would be a rather wishy-washy and poorly-written article otherwise.
Still, I'm really interested to see what you think. I think the author was very respectful of Wicca, demonstrated by her comfort with the topic and the great amount of research she's done (or so I assume, at least, from the limited knowledge I have and just the professional style of the article in general).
ANYWAY. I ramble. Here are the pages in order, so please peruse them at your leisure and post your thoughts!
