Is it normal i hate wicca

I guess it's just bitterness. If it weren't for my ex, I wouldn't hate it but just laugh it off as bullshit.
You see, she had been a Wiccan for I don't know how long, but kept it a total secret from me. I only found out by coincidence, so it is reasonable to assume she would never have told me.
And no, I wouldn't have flipped out and got angry at her, and no, that's not the only reason we aren't together.
What particularly saddens me is that at one point she said she was going away to a camp for two days, but I found out later that it was a Wiccan camp where they collectively danced around together at midnight. On top of that, those black robed perverts get new members to stand naked in front of them, to 'ensure they don't carry weapons' or something like that.
They perform those incantations and rituals, and the more I learn about them the more I dislike them. The whole faith just pisses me off and I shake my head with remorse when I find out somebody is one of them.
And I keep this new found hatred to myself, but I just thought I'd vent on this site.

    There are extremists in every relgion. It is never fun being lied to, especially about something like faith. Who does that?

    Although you describe a perverted view of what a wiccan actually is. I'm not sure this story is 100% accurate as it sounds like the plot of a bad Nick Cage movie. But there are extremists that think dancing is a sin, so perhaps your ex was a robed fire dancer.

      Uhm there is no such thing as a bad Nick Cage movie, Nick Cage is awesome, Nick Cage is god.

        Hehe. I actually like Nick Cage a lot. He falls into the so bad it's good category. Like Con Air or Wicker Man.

          Yeah both are absolute trash but Nicks usual overacting and classic one liners make them rewatchable again and again.

    Every faith incorporates the same bullshit to muddle the brains of the faithful. If they didn't the faithful might wake up and see the bullshit for what it is and the faith would have no followers.
    Wicca is no more or less idiotic than any other religion, though it does seem to attract the lunatic fringe, for some reason. Nut jobs dancing with abandon, at midnight in black robes around a fire. Didn't most humans outgrow that sort of childish behavior, some 4,000 years ago?

    I had a Wiccan/Pagan boyfriend when I was in college. It was the semester before I met my first ex husband, and my witchy boyfriend was kind of a douchebag and a deadbeat, but I feel like my part in it was that I rushed into the relationship, because I was bored and lonely. I guess the aftereffects were that I grew deeper in my Roman Catholic faith, but conversely I did find myself choosing to study and research about his faith. I think there were good and bad points about his religion, but it was more about him being a kinda flaky than it was about religion at all. I'm not particularly interested in the ritual aspect of Paganism, but rather interested in herbs, essential oils and phases of the moon. I'm not down with a bunch off naked people standing in a circle, but just like anything else I guess it's what you make it.

    The fact that she deceived you is nothing to do with Wicca

    She shouldn't have lied to you about the outing. Seems that one thing made you want to hate a whole religion. The Wiccan people I know are really nice and peaceful and I like that they never try to get people to "convert." Oh, and by the way, they get naked because they believe that helps put everyone on the same level and closer to nature. Heheh, they aren't looking for weapons.

    I don't hate any religion, but I feel pretty much the same about all of them as you have described here. Rituals, preying to or otherwise trying to communicate with magical beings and other such forces, I don't get any of it. What I do find funny though is that people of one faith will often eat up every illogical morsel of their own religion, but view the illogical nonsense in another religion as silly and fail to understand how anyone could believe it. Yet, if you turn that thinking on their own religion it is different because theirs is a "real" religion and they have faith.

    It’s just like hating somebody for being Christian or atheist. It’s just a different belief, granted not one most people would encounter everyday.

    There is a reason why certain Wiccan groups will perform certain rites in nature in a state of undress ( in Wiccan terms ‘Skyclad’) but it is most certainly not to ensure each person there is not carrying weapons.

    But if you still feel the desire to hate wiccans rather than to understand what their beliefs are. Than that’s you choice.

    I am not a Wiccan but there are parts of Wiccan that I like. I love that they are usually woman led. Most religions mostly won't give us any priesthoods. I also love that they have ritual nudity and stuff. I can't explain why, but if I could choose what I believed in, and not felt it, it would be Wiccan

    Honestly, I don't know why she would have lied about it. I certainly don't know why she would stay with you if she knew you hated it so much.
    Either way, your hatred for Wicca is unhealthy at best.
