Wasn’t women’s ordination intended to solve this problem?!

BS.
Wicca is a made up religion that morphs into whatever the person wants.
People who follow Wicca don’t like rules and therefore LOVE Wicca (I have some in my family) I have a niece who joined Wicca because of Xena Warrior princess. I kid you not.
And honestly, if one is joining a religion because of a TV SHOW! then, bye! You don’t have a bit of grounding in reality anyway.

If the goal is female empowerment, I don’t understand the need for the Wicca membership unless it’s really about female worship.

One of the truths from Buffy, they associated wicca with homosexuality.

Religion? I thought that the main point of the show was Sarah Michelle Geller jumping, kicking and tumbling.

I thought that the main point of the show was Sarah Michelle Geller jumping, kicking and tumbling. In tight little outfits.

A quiz for anyone who thinks Buffy was promoting paganism...
Buffy almost always wore what religious symbol around her neck?
When Buffy died where did she go...until she was brought back?
A Vampire recoils when confronted with what religious symbol?
The evil that Buffy confronted in the form of a nexus of evil under her city was a portal to where?
(answers for those of you in Rio Linda: Buffy wore a cross. Buffy went to heaven when she died. A Vampire recoils from a cross. Buffy fought against creatures that came over across a portal from Hell.)

The feminist agenda never ceases to amuse me. From believers to witches? Never believers in the first place. Nothing lost...

"if one is joining a religion because of a TV SHOW! then, bye!" I know that people take classes to learn to speak Klingon.
I wonder if there is some Klingon or Vulcan church I can join?

It is hard finding a good church these days. All of them are full of hypocrites so I quit going. I worship at my house where I am not interupted.

The only women leaving church for Wicca are the ones attending goofy churches like the Unitarian Universalist Church and the like. Meaning that they are ugly liberals anyway.

No — but if you’re in the UK, you can officially list your religion as “Jedi!”

Come on seriously, you know that none of those are real, don’t you?
That’s the point. Buffy is make believe.

You could start one and fashion it after Scientology.
Maybe make Billions!
