What will happen to you if you decide to leave the Wiccan religion? Will you be shunned?

First, Rose – great information and insight.

Second, to correct Medea – McFarland Dianic is not based on Gardner’s Wiccan tradition. It is based on Morgan’s own personal path of worship. Morgan never was a Gardinarian witch through training or initiation. What we McFarlands “do” is entirely different from what Gardinarians “do.” We do not worship a male deity although we do honor the male principle in context of consort of the goddess. For us,the Goddess alone is Immortal and divine.

Blessings,
Bridget

And one more thing, the McFarland tradition of “Dianic Wicca” IS a tradition based in that of Gardner’s Wicca. It is NOT in any way related to the Z.Budapest tradition of The Dianic Tradition of Feminist Witchcraft

Thank you for posting this. However, I still believe that some things are not exactly correct.

As a member of the Susan B.Anthony Coven No 1 myself and long time Dianic Witch of the Z.Budapest lineage, I can tell you that although Dianic Witchcraft did include many lesbians at one time, primarily because they were many of the feminists, the Dianic Tradition WAS NOT nor has it ever been exclusively for lesbians.

Further, Dianic Tradition of Feminist Witchcraft is NOT a denomination OF Wicca, it never has been. It is completely and entirely it’s own tradition inspired by the magick of Z.Budapest. The description of the “Wicca” is misleading to most simply because so many people can’t agree on the word Wicca..is it a word that means Witchcraft or is it a religion? Z uses the word to describe Witchcraft NOT Gerald Gardner’s Wiccan religion. The Dianic Tradition of Feminist Witchcraft is NOT built upon a religion made by a man! (Gerald Gardner/Wicca)

We believe that Goddess is all that is and She is whole unto Herself, therefore everything, even “the God”, and all that is male in nature is another variation of Her sourced from and created in Her womb just as both male and female are created and sustained and eventually birthed from the womb of women. For this reason, we do not accept “duality” for ALL is Goddess and it is Holy.

Men are encouraged to express and seek their own mysteries through sacred ritual and journey to the Goddess as Her Sacred Sons.

Hey, I’m back already! I just did a Google search for The Feminist Book of Light and Shadows, and it turns out it’s pretty hard to get ahold of — the cheapest copies were $50. However, Budapest apparently wrote a newer version of the book called “The Holy Book of Women’s Mysteries: Feminist Witchcraft, Goddess Rituals, Spellcasting and Other Womanly Arts,” which you can get for $5 used. My local library even has it, so readers here may want to look for the newer one if they can’t find the Book of Light and Shadows.

Thanks again for the great article!
