(20,176 posts)I've found trying to define core beliefs of Wicca as being about as nebulous as defining them for Congregationalists though. Every group has the total authority to define the structure of their beliefs and practices for their own group. That's the nature of non-hierarchical faiths, especially where there is no collective body or synod.
So, trying to convert others is against the rules...unless your group has decided to proselytize and attempt to convert people. Even if that pisses off other Wicca or runs contrary to what they deem the rules to be. (I've known such Wiccans when I lived in DC...and poser would have been a good descriptor. The sort of people raised as evangelicals and rebelling against their parents by jumping from being militantly Christian to being militantly spiritual and non-Christian.)
