Did that answer you question?

Yes it does thanks, but another question comes to mind. If there can be so many 'inputs' in the belief system surely many of the members have varying ways of handling or doing things? If so, do you have some kind of leadership that controls this? What would you say is the ultimate goal of each member?

To you first question, Yes.

To your second question, lots of Wiccans & Pagans belong to groups call covens. They help guide people along in their path. They don't really have a leader. Covens have elders in them. Covens are sort of like a group of church members. They get together to worship the god/goddess. It more like a family.

I call myself a Solitary becouse I do not belong to a coven.

To your third question, that depends on the person.

So basically the order has in common all things based on the worship of a god or goddess? Other than that there are various ways of doing things? I guess it is a loose order then and there are no specific requirements to 'start' as it were save for what may be established by a Coven as you called it. How do such groups view the Bible and other religions?

First, I never been in a coven so I don't really know what it's like. I only know what I have been told.

We feel you should be free to choose the religion with which you are most comfortable with, and if that is another religion then that's ok with us. We try to be respectful toward other religions, in hopes that they will do the same for us. Even if they don't you will find we are a very tolerant group of people.

Most of us believe in reincarnation.
The Spiritual Growth concept of Re-Incarnation is in essence a training ground for the spirit. It allows the spirit to grow and learn so that it one day may enter the beautiful Summerland. A spirit will re-incarnate through just about all forms of different objects. This is done to allow the spirit to experience and learn that every object holds a value. Everything is a part of the creative life-force spirit. Should a spirit "fail" the lessons that should have been learned in any one stage, they will be reincarnated back into the same stage ... so that the correct lessons can be learned ... before it can move to the next stage.

Are there religious groups that are knowingly accepting of Wiccans or Witches? To me most religious groups of today seem to shun the idea of a 'witch among them' so to speak?

I'm sue there are. It's more of a personal thing. Most religions aren't accepting of each other. It really doesn't matter if you are a witch or not. Most people think if you aren't a follower of their religion, well then you are wrong. I guess it all depends on how tolerant a person is. I have lots of Christian friends and family who are ok with me being a Pagan.

Yes I am sure, even I have nothing against you as a person and if that is your belief system then fine - I respect that, but what I am focusing on is what you said earlier:

I am asking which religion will knowing accept this kind of thing... yes the members within it may be excepting of it, but that does not mean the religion itself is... for example: If you enter a Catholic Church or Muslim or Hindu and you tell them your beliefs and that you would like to be part of their organization and maintain theirs and your beliefs - then will they allow it?
