Wiccans thrive in N.M.

[Mr1helluvabutlr]

Why is this video for people older than 18 it isn't like they are skyclad.

[RedDragon033195]

i would have to disagree with the parenting of some of these Wiccans. raise our children with our beliefs. if they take a different spiritual path, as parents, we should support this, but if we want to be taken seriously as a religious movement, we have to raise our children with our beliefs. otherwise we are not going to last very long. thats just fact.

[Tsubasa637]

Go go Wiccan ! I respect all faith unlike certainn ppl

[DestructiveWolf96]

im going to tht Wiccan school yall!!!

[DestructiveWolf96]

Wicca doesnt believe in Satan at all bottom line.

[kingnshitup]

I just want to know if you allow a wiccan to put a house blessing in your house is in fact worshiping the devil?

[FearedBliss]

@kingnshitup no.. their is no devil in Wicca. How can it be worshiping the devil if to us the devil doesn't exist?

[Genin99]

@kingnshitup didn't Jesus say that the Devil can't divide his own house. Your contradicting your lord with that comment.

[ShaninSickology]

why is this video marked for 18 plus?

[seawaardomain]

@ShaninSickology Well some Christians must be raging hard.

[Genin99]

@seawaardomain this is proof that Christians have nothing better to do. These bigots make me so mad.

[ChryssiRose]

The roots of Wicca are from all over the place, not neccesarily Shamanism, although there are many Wiccans who add Shamanism into their practice.

[silvaignis19]

Why the hell did I have to create a youtube account to watch this???

[GuineaPigsRule123]

@Binerycode STOP LYING I WAS A CHRISTIAN THEY JUST WANT EVERY SINGLE FRIGGIN PERSON TO BE STRAIGHT AND TO BE CHRISTIAN THEY FORCE THE RELIGION DOWN THIER CHILDRENS THROUGHTS WITHOUT GIVING THEM A SAY

[KatanaWhisper]

for a news feature, this was very well done! not biased or critical at all! thanks for posting :)

[Lanthiriel]

I do wish newscasters would do their homework more thoroughly . It's nice to see a positive report about Wiccans, but honestly.  Pentagram= five pointed star. Pentacle= five pointed star within a circle and *that* is one of the main symbols wiccans use, and what is now a choice for a military gravemarker.

[yourdickis2limp]

Wiccans are worthless,witch wannabe's who are also largely homosexual and live to masterbate with crusafixes.

[Obelisk3rdEye]

That's what our government wants us to do. Replace God with Earth. idiots

[huskinsonjr]

I was Mormon and am now an agnostic person but I love what Wicca stands for and the fact that it isn't forced on anyone who doesn't seek it out. If you are Wiccan then I wish that you have a very long and prosperous life full of love and adventure.

[ImoenOfTelengard]

PENTACLE. The Pentagram was a Christian invention to punish the Pagans.

[shmilymom]

This is one of the more respectful stories I have seen about Wiccans. I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a librarian , a friend, a daughter, a sister and for the past 15 years an openly practicing pagan. I am like everyone else and my chosen religion doesn't define my totality it simply adds and enhances who i am as a human. I don't ask that you believe or follow what I am just that you have the respect to let me be who I am without judgment, criticism or hatred.

[MojoManCrip]

I thank the ones who understand that wicca is NOT satanism, our religion is very beautiful )O(Blessed Be)O(

[wiccanwitch22]

@NLawson200

Actually, pentagram is usually what a pentacle is referred to when the star is outside of the circle,, satanists use the inverted pentagram/pentacle

[NLawson200]

the news lady keeps calling it a pentagram its called a PENTACLE! wiccans/pagans use pentacles not pentagrams. satanism uses pentagrams

[XxAmdisxX]

Wiccan in Latin is translated to WISE ONE! And please do your research before you call our religion "devil worshippers"

[Lanthiriel]

@XxAmdisxX

Um, you need to also do a bit more research regarding the word "wicca"

It is derived from two Old English words; wicca (male sorcerer) and wicce( female sorcerer). These are also the roots of the words "wicker" and "wick", and the meaning is "to twist or bend".

[XxAmdisxX]

@Lanthiriel Yeah, most common is wicca = wise one. People who are ignorant only wish to learn what they already know. So when you throw something new in their face, they throw it aside. Disregard it. So you're not telling me anything new. I knew that already. Try telling the ignorant people that.

[Lanthiriel]

@XxAmdisxX

Yeah I hear you. Willful Ignorance equals blinders.

That is the most common meaning people quote, but it is wrong, so I just try to put the info out there when I can.

[XxAmdisxX]

@Lanthiriel Sorry, I get on like every 3 days, lol. But you're right. People should be informed more. Instead of just jumping to something and making false statements. Like so many of them already do. I'm going to take your advice and continue to inform what wicca's real definition is. =]

[Lanthiriel]

@XxAmdisxX

Aw thats okay, no sorries needed. I get on *too* much, lol. Thanks for being open to me and I'm sorry if I acted like a "know-it-all".

[XxAmdisxX]

@Lanthiriel No, you didn't. Not at all. And you're welcome. =]

[Binerycode]

im a christian and i say sorry you guy think Christians are brutes and hate everything but our own but its not true true Christians are nice and forgiving and love peace

[witchcerridwen]

@Binerycode yes that may be so for a few of them but we always get to see the negative christians.they want us in hell.

[lissbrelex]

Im new wiccan But the reason i got into it is basicly I love peace and nature Why do they think its domonic lol..stupidty.. >>

[witchcerridwen]

@lissbrelex they believe it is demonic because the pastor told them so and the bible forbids these things.although i think the bible is written and rewritten many times so do we have to make such a big deal out of it?i never see satan trying to strangle me.i do see many christians demon possesed.

[jrcadet4]

An excellent profile. Sadly, someone in NM media should have dug it out of the archives in the wake of Angela Sanford's hugely-publicized arrest. She's about as typical of Wiccans as albino Siamese twins are of the human species.

[EmQuizzle]

@Navili502 marry meet u are so right people should really research our religion plus wicca DOES NOT even have an evil figure or any thing we DO NOTTTTT worship the devil. why do people judge so harshly.

(blessed be)

[arterialshadow]

My friend is a wiccan. Sweetest girl I've ever met in my life and completely spiritual and down to earth. I honestly think it takes knowing a person who is a part of something to really understand it. Ofcourse when it comes down to it we're HUMANS before we're anything else. Thus, we're no different than eachother at nature :) Peace and love guys

[Kemonokami]

Glory to the old gods! Glory to the Kitsune!

[xavierwhitepimp]

wiccan gets owned your "powers" are weak...

[raddwest]

Wow, some of these awful things written are just embarrassing. I think some of you need a little tea, all you need is Lavender Flowers, Chamomile Flowers, Valerian, and Skullcap. Chill out loves and accept that we all have different paths, destinies and opinions! Research is our friend, not ignorance and hate!

[Hannahcrick]

wow there is to much hatred written here, please remember we are here to love in light- it doesnt matter the gods/god you follow so long as you show love to all others in this world. does it matter whos origin held the pentagram? no! it has many symbolic meanings and its the meanings you choose that is important, please understand fellow wiccans that calling out your cursed in the gods names is really just what lot of other religions do, lets be in love and light x

[angedamour3]

This isn't inappropriate!!!

[MrAnarchist99]

I am pagan too and proud. Have been that way since I was 22. I was raised Jehovah's witness.

[BenPookyXCore]

Wait nevermind. I got "horned god" confused with baphomet. Doing a project so I want clarification

[BenPookyXCore]

This is a serious question, doing research on this subject, so don't cuss me out or anything. Baphomet is a deity in wiccan right?

[GoddessUnity50]

hope Oklahoma follows this. Or maybe I can move to New mexico. I hadt an aunt and uncle who use to live in Hobbs..lol

[tweethang1]

@GoddessUnity50 we have a school for wiccans in las vegas. I attend it myself. its great. its almost like a church. but more fun

[AppleHankypants]

guize this is srs busness. ur all ignorant. wiccans are real religion !!! demons hanted mi life. im in 9th grade and i was cured by wicaanism

[o0XOpheliacX0o]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who was raised as a Mormon who found an interest in the Wicca religion

[LutheranChemist]

@o0XOpheliacX0o Id rather be a wiccan than a mormon.

[gdwatcher]

Good video. Wicca can be very freeing to lot of people. I have been to several full moon rites and Wicca rituals and I found them to be very beautiful. I never met a more accepting loving group of people. In comparison to Christian faiths, I find Christianity to be barbaric and intolerant. Not to mention demeaning towards women.

[esara6]

I'm maybe a christian but...." people do have there own belief's it isn't for me to judge"

[caciquepadilla]

woot.

[lindsaylou04]

This was very well done. It's good to see something like this out there.

[vamplexie1143]

can someone tell me what it means when you have a star on your right hand??!!

[188zbbrr]

lol are thinking of werewolf legends? when a werewolf sees a pentagram on a person hand, that is their next victim. that has nothing to do with Wicca.

[vamplexie1143]

@188zbbrr -- werewolfs XD now ill believe witches more then werewolfs XD. Werewolf funny-- here I come Jacob Black XD Sike

[caciquepadilla]

that is a superstition.

[AstralMelody]

@AtheistFromHell4 is a hypochristian who's pretending to be Atheist so he can make Atheist look bad. The proof? Look at his profile, he's friends with ShockofGod. I bet he would remove that now to prove he's not, lol

[AstralMelody]

I'm an Atheist and I used to be Wiccan and I have to say that Wicca is a very beautiful religion and I'm happy that this was aired somewhere on tv because it might have made people start to think and make them want to be open-minded. Ignorance is never bliss. I would actually consider myself as a Atheist Pagan, I don't believe in god/dess but I do celebrate nature, energy and love. Wicca is not devil worshiping, the devil belongs to Christianity.

[ff7fanbdb]

And, it's funny, because their God is the one who creates evil, not Satan, his puppet, so in a way, in worshipping their God, they are worshiping Satan.

[o0XOpheliacX0o]

@ff7fanbdb

There is not true evil for us, there are no true laws except for the golden rule.

" Ever mind the Rule of Three Three times what thou givest returns to thee This lesson well, thou must learn Thee only gets what thou dost earn! "

or to put it simply, if you do a good deed then you will get 3 times a good deed, if you do a bad deed you get 3 times a bad deed. do what you want along as you don't hurt anyone, including yourself.

[ff7fanbdb]

@o0XOpheliacX0o You misunderstood me: I was talking about Crhistians. I'm Wiccan myself and am fully aware of my religion lol

[o0XOpheliacX0o]

@ff7fanbdb

lol, well that's a good thing at least ;)

[raddwest]

@AstralMelody , ty! I wasnt quite sure I had the words to explain! But you did it very well indeed!

[TrueGreatness73]

@AstralMelody Everything you said is true except I believe in Gods and spirits. Bless be

[FunkyFrancek77]

god damn hippies :)

[countrytalk97]

they will ALL BURN IN HELL

[scottytow317]

Ok but its poeple like you that pushed us to look deeper and find the lies...But there is no hell... Your fake book of lies makes up hell..But i say as long as i dont have to go to the same place with all you closed minded poeple cool..Dont be scared of what you dont know..Blessed Be

[tweethang1]

@countrytalk97 And your a religious intolerant whore who fucks jesus and thumps the bible. the gods curse your intolerance and evil

[AtheistFromHell4]

This is by far the stupidest fucking religion ever created.

[meghan0392]

[AtheistFromHell4]

canada isn't even a country dumbfuck

[meghan0392]

hell and satan are a part of the catholic belief..what the fuck kind of atheist are you you fuckin phony. and i never said i was a wiccan. and girls don't have wet dreams. there's nothing logical about anything you say and your just talking shit. obviously you know nothing about this religion.

[AtheistFromHell4]

look dude, I don't care if you are Joseph Smith himself. Take your wiccan bullshit and stick it up your ass you satanic fucking crack addicted weirdo.

[tweethang1]

@AtheistFromHell4 Your such an angry soul. You will NEVER find peace. I weep for your hatred and inner self torture

[witchcraftlover]

@AtheistFromHell4 your atheist! or not ! we can recognize a christian just by the way he talks powerless fuck an atheist will say there is no magick that we need to believe in science a christian will say we worship the devil ur christian dumbass motherfucker get the hell outta here your religion is the one thats filled with hate not ours

[scottytow317]

You need help

[scottytow317]

You need to grow some ... Then you need to grow up little boy....

[dontworryaboutmyuser]

u do realise magic is fake rite iv seen youtube vids dey all of the sudden picking up stuff from the floor in slow motion-_- lol

[meghan0392]

u do realize the magic is called "self will" and what the candles and such are for is to visualize yourself achieving a goal, and therefore making it more likely to happen.

[AtheistFromHell4]

Unless you goal is to commit arson candles aren't going to help you do it.

[MrGaGaGay]

i want to be a wiccan can sumbody plz teach me plzz

[darkangel4life06]

You don't have to part of a coven. I am studying wiccan on my own. You can go to any book store and find books on the wiccan religion. Scott Cunningham has written many books for the solitary practitioner. Raymond Buckland has a really good book titled "Complete Book of Witchcraft. Being wiccan is not something that can be taught but something that must be learned. you can email me if you like at tressa81@msn. May the God and Goddess guide you in your magickal journey. Blessed Be.

[drock272]

@darkangel4life06  I just learn the basics candles crystals herbs and based my practice off it.

[tweethang1]

@MrGaGaGay I will teach you. I have been wiccan since I was born.

[prettylyricsmarie]

very informative video. great! :)

If anyone needs Info about Wiccan (wicca) you can add me on Facebook or Text me =) i live in indiana and im also looking for a coven! Blessed Be! Number: 1-765-918-4462

[Ransom323]

god, the pendant as shown is not the statanic one the satanic star is flipped upside down which show the horns of the beast..soo.. yaa how you like that.

[NaturallyNative07]

jus to let you kno satanist use the upsidse down pentigram and wiccans use the right side up. if u look at the top od a satanist pentagram it has 2 points on top and the wiccan only has 1.

[spulkagent47]

Is wiccan means i is as a cult?

[scann1973]

[randompark]

@Navili502 u stole the devils symbol Plus tell me how Does magic have to do with anything in life

[tweethang1]

@randompark The pentagram is OUR SYMBOL!! Satanist stole it from us dumb fuck. eat shit and die. GODS CURSE YOU FOREVER!!

[randompark]

@tweethan lol what kinda spells can u proform miss or mr crazy :P

[tweethang1]

@randompark Why do you need to know?

[ZanderMckael]

@tweethang1 So much for your religion of "peace" . Anyways all religions teach peace, besides ancient paganism who worships gods of War and destruction.

[tweethang1]

@ZanderMckael I would rather do that then go to a church that got away with murder and torture. Go fuck yourself

[ZanderMckael]

@tweethang1 Its not the religion, its the people who follow it. And no I'd rather not go fuck myself since it seems to me your the one who has a problem with everyone's religion that isn't yours.

[GoddessUnity50]

@tweethang1 you could clean up your language a bit. being abnoxious only shows ignorance.

[GoddessUnity50]

@randompark can you tell me what in life isnt magickal/ magick is the life force the energy tha animator of all things. its in you in the trees. in the air.. everyplace. How can you not see magick? blessed be

[Intotheorchard]

@randompark The pentagram was around long before Christianity, or "the devil" existed.

[looke888]

@Navili502  Blessed be !

[mehrunesxdagonxowner]

magik = bullshit

[camomule]

Finally...mine eyes are open! After 40 years of blind following the masses of organized religions, I have found what I have been searching for! Especially the part of individual worshiping. Not following groups that blindly trust ancient texts written centuries before our time when such a thing as a Bic lighter would have been considered a "miracle!'

[Cretaal]

if a more advanced being came to you and offered you a piece of technologies centuries ahead of your time, would you not consider that the slightest miracle?

[Sssssssteve]

research before you post, wicca are not devil worshipers, the divil is part of chritianity, wicca is not part of christianity, the wiccan rede says "and it harm none, do what ye will." to say wiccans are devil worshipers is being ignorant and rude.

[witchcraftlover]

@Marlon1363 You know what BITCH? Wiccans dont worship the devil we dont even believe he EXISTS BITCH and suppose we actually DO worship Satan suppose we actually do kiss his ass who THE FUCK ARE YOU to tell us whats wrong whats right? ok so shut the hell up and fuck yourself real nice BITCH

[jbarter1989]

So, because we don't believe in what you believe, it's automatically devil worship? People who are wiccan don't even believe satan exists. We don't believe in "hell" either. We believe that we create our own version of "hell" in this life, or our own version of "heaven." Please learn about it before you step on our beliefs. We don't step on yours

[brianne13087]

you are right. people today think that everyone has to beleve what they beleve but everyone is diffrent. wicca is a beautiful religion and its saad that people think they are evil. we are not. i sometimes wish that people all could get along without think about what their religion is.

[TheParanormalX]

Idiot

[ilovemark81388]

lmao

Read.

[cutewiddlepuppy]

all wiccans arent wiches...

[drin2014]

no, but they're all crazy.

[Witheredrose34]

No we're not. Last time I check little pagan me was very mnetally stable.

[Gnostic2030]

its the Pentacle not the Pentagram the Pentagram is the star by its self and Bloodace666 you can fuck off it has nothing to do with harry potter Real Witches are Wiccan and Worship Pagan Gods and Goddesses you jerk!

[Emm0r]

ahahahahahahahha! RETARD :) go read a book other than harry potter silly child.

[JcM944]

Athiests pwn everything.

[MrFinklestein]

How can Atheists pwn the things that they deny? This to me shows a lot of ignorance on your part.

[HuggiMa]

Why in the world would Pagans be seen as Satanic? They don't worship Satan, only repressed Christians do. They're completely different religious paths, one being based on love and light, the other on negativity and pain. And symbols get recycled right and left, so what's the biggie if Pagans use the pentagram? It was theirs to use first, way before Christianity or any aspect of it was invented. If you like plants, animals, food, and gardening, you might be a Pagan yourself.

[Bakomhuset]

Pagans are free to correct me but...doesnt pagans use penTACLES?

Whenever it points up its a pentacle, whenever it points down its a pentagram huh?

[DrewInWashington]

A pegan is a person who believes in a religion based on nature. Most Wiccans are neo pegans.

[Handitar]

No dear. Whenever it points down it's the inverted pentagram (or pentacle if it's enclosed in a circle). Whenever it points up it's just the pentagram or pentacle depending on the edition of a circle surrounding the star or not.

[ninjabunny112xD]

no its wiccan not wicken. blessed be )0(

[PrinceLordChris]

I am a Wizard who practices WItchcraft, and I also know quite a bit about Wicca. It is amazing, Wiccans do not recruit, they do not try to force their beliefs on other people, and they do not use fear to get people to come to their religion. And even after all this, Wicca is still the fastest growing religion in the USA, UK, and CANADA. Witchcraft is coming back and the truth is coming out because the Christians can no longer silence us.

[MrDanielosuna23]

intresting im a Catholic but i met a friend that is wiccan very good guy and this relegion sounds very intresting = ]

[rokus300]

Corrupt, you corrupt, and Bring corruption to all that you touch. Hold, youll behold, And be holden for all that youve done. Spell, cast a spell, Cast a spell on the country you run. And risk, you will risk, You will risk all their lives and their souls. And burn, you will burn, You will burn in hell, yeah youll burn in hell. Youll burn in hell, yeah youll burn in hell for your sins.

[godscuttingyoudown]

shaman people of the earth were a colored people

white people stole the spirituality and traditionalized it; hence perverting its true meaning

witch craft came from the black female priest that dedicated their lives to worshiping the black penis

the spell, singing all enchantment to promote and erection

[DrewInWashington]

fuck you.

[ilovemark81388]

holy fuck, thank you for clearing that up for me

[hkfreak]

Is "Wicken" another spelling variation?

[ginkiba3]

I've only seen Wiccan with the two c's but not with the "ck".

It's based on some old Saxon word I know that much.

[DrewInWashington]

Wicken as in wicked. as in crazy, out of ordinary. "Awesome."

[Handitar]

No. Wiccan as in Wiccan. :)

[DrewInWashington]

No, hkfreak said wicken and i was correcting him.

[cgray6306]

Ignorant much?

[zeldaofarel]

At least we can have a good laugh on this person.

[PrinceLordChris]

Thanks for showing everyone that you have no idea what you're talking about.

[magebreath88]

A very unbiased report. i'm surprised. Happy, but surprised.

Nice to see the Pentagram doesn't make you a target in some places

[SpeshWriter]

I am a self-created Wiccan and a Christian, and I am sure that my gods are all at oeace with me. My family think I am unusual but are fully supportive of my religions.

[Deanna4you]

I'm a wiccan and damn proud of it!

[DarkFireLily]

Although this is a very positive video and I'm glad that Wiccans are making ground amoung mainstream, I'd like to point out that Shamanism and Wicca are two distinctly different sects of Paganism.

[Mitzy1963]

A very positive report. A big thank you to Ms. Brady for showing Wicca as it truly is, and being open minded enough to do the interviews. It says a lot about her and KOB-TV. Wicca as often be portray as 'Evil'. Yet here is a very positive report. I know everyone who was interviewed, all beautiful and loving people. Thank you guys for standing up for our "Way of Life"

Bless be,

Medwolf

[VanDowall]

So mote it be.  I've had pastors trying to convert me, saying Wiccans are demonics and worship Satan.

Why won't people listen with an open mind and not prejudgment?
