No other Religion since the Spanish Inquisition has been on the receiving end of more slander and misinformation campaigns by dominant well established conventional religions then Wicca has recently been. Hence; it is no wonder that myths about Wicca and Wiccans abound.

One common myth is that bloodletting or blood rituals as is commonly found in Christian history and art can also be found in Wicca. The fact of the matter, is that throughout the history of Wicca nothing more than herbs have been cut for their rituals and no dead, dying or wounded deity's are ever recognized or depicted in Wicca as are commonly found in other more conventional religions.

Another common myth is that Wicca and Paganism are the same and that the word “Pagan” has some connection to Satanism. While paganism and Wicca do share some common beliefs they are recognized as being separate in practice.

Also, the word “ Pagan” has absolutely no connection to Satanism but rather is a word that the ancient Romans used to refer to “country” or “rural” farmers that dwelled in the countryside outside of the cities of Rome. When Christianity became the religion of “power” in ancient Rome it was these rural practitioners of traditional nature oriented belief systems that were among the first to be persecuted by the church and like so many others were labeled “Satanic”.
