http://emeraldtraditions.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-is-wicca-contrary-to-what-those.html
Monday, September 1, 2008. Contrary to what those who choose to persecute or lie about us wish to believe, Wicca is a very peaceful, harmonious and balanced way of thinking and life which promotes oneness with the divine and all which exists. For the past several hundred years, the image of the Witch has been mistakenly associated with evil, heathenism, and unrighteousness. In my humble opinion, these misconceptions have their origin in a couple of different places. We acknowledge the cycles of nature, t...

Wiccan Traditions and Paganism: August 2008
http://emeraldtraditions.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Song of the Goddess. I am the Great Mother, worshipped by all creation and existent prior to their consciousness. I am the primal female force, boundless and eternal. I am the chaste Goddess of the Moon, the Lady of all magic. The winds and moving leaves sing my name. I wear the crescent Moon upon my brow and my feet rest among the starry heavens. I am mysteries yet unsolved, a path newly set upon. I am a field untouched by the plow. Rejoice in me and know the fullness of youth.

That said, over the last thirty years, the two traditions have...
