Wiccan Religion is not actually negative. Although it's quite linked with witchcraft and wizardry, it's actually created for another purpose.
You don't actually have to be a Pagan to be a Wiccan. Any religion will do. If you're a lot interested with Wiccan (than u r interested in me,) then please log on to: http://www.modernwicca.com
This is cool guys.
u shud take a look.

Just out of curiosity what purposes do you think wicca was created for? How long has been been studying this craft? Is that website yours or one that you've come upon? I think it's great that you are interested & wish to educate others but I think its important that you know what you are talking about before you attempt to educate. Too many people claim to be wiccan or pagan & attempt to educate others & have their information incredibly wrong. Be sure that the places you are getting information from are legit sites & such. :)

Witchcraft has been so rampant and holy long ago. But this was oftentimes viewed as wrong act. There were no "Professional Doctors" before, so ppoL relied on witches, called "Wisemen". They were the first known doctors. Until Witchcraft was banned for political reasons, it's lost in history as an important matter. So a man of Gerald Gardner popularized and founded Wicca, not to create a big scandal or what, but to bring back the lost concept. That's it! :)

I think you're contradicting yourself here. First you say "Wiccan religion" and then you say that you can be any religion and be Wiccan. If Wicca is a religion unto itself, then why can you be any religion and be Wiccan?
Also, why do you say that you don't have to be Pagan to be Wiccan as if being Pagan is a bad thing?
I'm not trying to be mean to you, I promise, I just think you should look at how you phrase these types of things. If it's a matter of not having good English, then obviously that's not your fault.
As for the website, I'll check it out because I'm always curious about religious matters. I do know people who are Wiccan, and I am often mistaken for Wiccan because I am Pagan. =p

I get what you're saying, I think. And I can see the value in learning from more than one religious path, and then doing what works for you.
However, claiming the title "Wiccan" when what you do is Wicca-inspired but not actually following the religion seems to me to be a little problematic. How do you think Wiccans who actually take it as their religion feel when someone says "Oh yeah, I'm Wiccan too" but then lays out this who convulated thing that isn't really Wiccan but involves some of the same concepts or practices? I know personally I'm always a little annoyed when people tell me they are "Celtic Reconstructionists" but then list gods from twenty different religions that they follow. Why can't they just be honest and say "Pagan" or "eclectic"?
I looked at the website, and I wonder if I'm missing something. It looks like basically a search portal for Wiccan or general pagan stuff. Kind of useful I guess, but if you were trying to get people interested in Wicca it would have been better to link to a site with more information. Is there information on Wicca here that I'm missing, or is it just the search portal?

Wiccan is free of soul. . . Wut i'm trying to say is that it had been said to be a religion but can be practiced by many. Just like how poor people eat in a 'bow-hOo first class restaurant. It's FIRST CLASS, preferably for RICH ONES, but is open for all. Like how buddhists tend to believe in Catholics.

Wicca is a spiritual path, like many others. One cannot truly follow both Wicca and Christianity, for example, in my experience, but part of the beauty of any Pagan spirutal path is that a person can develop their own individual path and incorporate anything they want into it.
