The beliefs and practices of Wiccans and pagans will be examined at Lifetree Café on Wednesday, January 22 at 7:15 pm at the First Congregational Church of Ridgefield.
The program—titled “The Witch Next Door: What’s the Appeal of Wicca and Paganism?”—features filmed interviews with self-identified pagans and a Wiccan who says she began exploring the religion as a teenager and still practices it today.
“I think what initially attracted me to Wicca was that it wasn’t the traditional patriarchal, standard American religion,” the woman says. “It was stepping outside of the box. There weren’t rules, and there wasn’t a man at the top.”
Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Sue Glendinning at spglendinning@mac.com.
