Top 10 Worst Stereotypes About Wicca

Wicca is a modern pagan religion founded in mid-20th century England. It is often stereotyped as being satanic which is absolutely false. Let me explain why it isn't with this list.
The Top Ten
1 All Witches are Evil

All these are stereotypes about witches in general. Not specifically Wicca (while all Wiccans maybe witches; not all witches are Wiccan. Witchcraft has been around for thousands of years, while Wicca has only been around for less than a century).

2 All Witches Like to Cause Harm
3 All Witchcraft is Evil

That's not a stereotype of Wicca. That is a stereotype of witchcraft in general.

4 All Witches Worship the Devil
5 The Pentacle is Evil and Satanic

I just realized that the pentacle symbol was how I draw stars. Heh heh.

6 The Book of Shadows is Evil

Its not its just a sketchbook with all the Wiccan things written in it. Its not like the Christian Bible with far-fetched stories.

7 All Witches are Green, Warty and Ugly
8 Wicca Has Caused Wars

Clusium - So if Wicca was older it would've caused a war. Every religion will start a war. Lets hope the parody religions start wars lets think Pastafarians. There is ones who seriously believe a God who is a monster made of spaghetti and meatballs is real.

Where the heck did this particular stereotype come from?!?!

Ooh did someones comment get deleted.

9 All Witches are Female
10 All Witches Ride on Their Brooms
The Contenders
11 They can cast spells like Harry Potter, Sabrina Spellman, Mildred Hubble.

No it means people think Wiccans can cast magical spells like the three fictional (Harry, Sabrina, Mildred) characters.
