In my experience through the years very few Wiccans I’ve seen have pushed transphobic or enbyphobic ideas. I have seen a lot of talk about how to be more inclusive and talk about pagan gods that had no gender attached to them and how to make Magick more Queer accessible.

As others have said the few times I have had issues sadly they were Dianic Wiccans on the toxic side of feminity. Not all Dianic Witches are like that though.

There are closed Wiccan traditions and they did start that way of having to be brought in and taught in the coven. Now there are still closed traditions but there is also Eclectic Wicca that can be practiced and learned on one’s own merit.

I love and accept any path people choose if it’s done with love and good energy. Yes, even left-hand paths! That said, I am always cautious making Wiccan friends because it has become the Mormons of Witchcraft for many followers. As in they try to shame and guilt others to follow the 3 fold law. Which as mentioned the roots of that have been twisted or changed for different reasons. I don’t want to interact with preachy folks of any religion!

But if you don’t try to convert people or attack those of different paths I’m all for it. And I like Queering up my Craft whenever possible! 🙂 (Note I am Queer, I’m pansexual and fully support Witches of all genders and identities!)

Hey Ashley,
There are many different paths to Witchcraft and Wicca (Yes they are two different things. Wicca is a religion, Witchcraft is a practice.)

You can also pick a little bit of everything, that would be known as Eclectic. I always tell Beginner Witches to research broadly to see where their passion lies. There isn’t a right or wrong, better or best type of witch. Be respectful of all paths and read broadly.

Do be careful experimenting with some paths as some are closed practices and not to be taken lightly by a novice. These would include things like Santeria and Hoodoo. But it never hurts to learn about them, just don’t go willy nilly summoning being you don’t understand, lol.

And follow your intuition to what works best for you!
