How is Wicca similar to Catholicism? I was raised Catholic and still have a strong devotion to Mary and the Saints. Wicca — or for me, it’s better described as the earth religions — has many similarities. There is high ritual which engages the senses and the spirit of the celebrants. There is music designed to raise energy. The Catholic ‘liturgy’ literally means the ‘energy of the people.’ Wiccan circles seek to raise and direct the energy of the witches for a purpose. Wicca has nothing at all to do with devil worship and honors a creator of the earth, moon and universe. While Wicca is poly-theistic, meaning it honors many gods and goddesses, some Wiccan individuals consider this to be a symbolic interpretation of the many aspects of the one unifiying, creating, loving spirit. There are many, many other similarities. I suggest you read Drawing Down the Moon by Margo Adler and Positive Magic by Marion Weinstein to get a good overview of Wicca and other earth-centered religions.
