Dear Reader,
Thank you for picking up When Someone You Love Is
Wiccan. It is my hope that this little book will help you to
understand someone close to you—perhaps your son or
daughter, or some other relative; perhaps a friend, neighbor,
or co-worker. Whoever this person is, he or she is interested
in or participates in a beautiful, but often misunderstood,
spiritual tradition. This tradition is known by a number of
different names, including Paganism, nature spirituality,
Goddess spirituality, and Wicca. It’s also known as the old
religion or the craft. It is actually new religion, but it draws
its inspiration, at least in part, from a subject shrouded in
mystery: Witchcraft.
Now you are wondering just what Paganism or Wicca is all
about. I hope this book will help you to understand and appreciate this special form of spirituality.
Perhaps you’re uncomfortable with the mere idea of
Paganism. Perhaps you’re asking yourself, “How could my
child/friend/co-worker have gotten involved with this?” Or
maybe you prefer not to think about it at all.
