High Church Wicca

Wicca seems to have become very caught up in ritual forms and the “proper way” of doing things. Supposed Wicca is a rebirth or re-imaging of early European pagan practices. It seems to me not very likely that they would have 161 rules regarding the functioning of a coven as Alexandrians do, or a rigid circle framework, or a set of tools that are absolutely required.

In my opinion, Wicca has become very High Church and high magic oriented. Everyone has a set rule to play, which can become semi-permanent, there can also be set dogma and even rigid correspondences. Even Eclectic Wicca has fallen into this trap, because Eclectics tend to read books that are filled with regurgitated information.

I’m hoping to find a way to create a more low church, folk magic Wiccan path for myself. How successful I will be, I just don’t know.
