This belief has not been fully accepted in today's society but this is basically because of misunderstanding. This belief is popularized by Gerald Gardner in the 1950's it is a new pagan belief that is based on the natural elements of our world. Man tends to fear anything that he does not understand.
A lot of its practices have been given a negative image by the media today, because of the movies and the old legends that have shrouded our minds regarding this. Therefore he refuses it. In an outsider's perspective the Wiccan religion is generally co notated with witchcraft, sorcery or black magic. But the latter is just a part of it. The normal view that is normally instilled in the common man is just a part of it.
It is quite interesting to study this religion. More than you know the Wiccan religion has a lot of similarities with other religion. The study itself is worth your while, the knowledge you will gain will not only help you understand the religion, but also give you a clearer view with the other beliefs.
Magic is a big part of the religion; they believers believe that when you are in true coherence with the religion you will be able to channel this power. Perhaps the element of duality is also present in its gods, the horned man or the sun that represents nature and ruler of the summer and spring is partnered with the triple goddess who represents the moon and the autumn and winter. This duality is present with the other belief like in the Buddhist religion with its element of "Yin and yang" which represents the balance between good and evil. Or the constant battle of good and evil in Catholicism which is represented by Angels and Demons.
Come and look into the Wiccan Religion. Take a glimpse and understand this new but misunderstood belief.
