How do I start a wiccan working circle in a city full of judgmental Christen and the other witches are afraid of coming out of the broom closet?

Merry Meet Seeker, It is wonderful to hear that you are interested in starting a coven. There are many ways indeed to join a coven. Although Wicca is the fastest growing religion in the USA, vested interests are working against it and will do anything “unGodly” to stop the spread of Wicca. What we can do is to find others who are interested in this beautiful way of life and start a group that will allow others who may be afraid to, as you succinctly put it, “come out of the broom closet”. Christianity did not start off as a judgemental religion. For a long time, it was just one of the religions on Earth. However, it was early in the millennium that the Romans decided to make this religion “Universal” or “Katholikos” (Catholic). This greed to make control the world by spreading fear of an entity called God led to many horrendous wars and millions of innocents killed including the massive witch hunt which was actually endorsed by the Pope! What we peace loving people can do is to ignore all these controlling strategies and look into peaceful and self-less religions that encourage practitioners to love each other regardless of race, color or religion and to see this beautiful world as One. There are many people all over the world who are practitioners of Witchcraft, the world’s oldest religion. To find more people who are interested in Wicca, go to this website: http://www.witchvox.com/ To the left of this webpage, you will be able to search for other witches in your hometown or state. Contact them if you can and ask them for any details in your area. Try attending spiritual conventions in your area and you are bound to find some Wiccan practitioners. Also, to to the following site and search for Wicca: http://groups.yahoo.com/ (I found over 5000 Wicca groups on yahoo groups!). There may be a group which is located in your hometown.

As you can see, the internet is the best source for finding people in your hometown or somewhere nearby. Don’t be shy to ask anyone who identifies themselves as Wiccan for more details about which coven they go to, how to start a coven in your area, etc. Soon, you will have enough information to start your own coven! Brightest Blessings. Rose.
