About this title

Synopsis:

Wicca and Paganism are among the world's fastest growing religions, on par with Judaism, Christianity and Buddhism as full-fledged world religions. Given the popularity of television shows like Charmed and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, it is apparent that much of this growth is occurring among teenagers and young adults. While it may be a positive sign to veteran practitioners that so many Wiccan newcomers are young, it may be understandably worrying, even frightening, to many parents, family members, friends and associates of today's witches. What are non-Pagans to do, when confronted by a neighbour, co-worker, or family member who has embraced Witchcraft? Aimed specifically at those who may have no interest in practising Wicca themselves, When Someone You Love is Wiccan includes: - A brief introduction to Wicca and Paganism. - Reasons why so many people are attracted to Paganism. - Understanding the ethical and moral dimension of Wicca. - What not to do when interacting with Wiccans and other Pagans. - Why the Burning Times are essential to understanding Wicca. - Advice for those who might like to explore Wicca themselves.

When Someone You Love is Wiccan offers an objective, honest introduction to this newly popular old religion, while providing comfort to worried readers. Non-Pagans will appreciate this fair and responsible overview of one of the most mysterious and misunderstood, modern spiritual paths.
