im not too stuck on my zen practice to see the beauty in wicca. dont know much about it but id say its based on nature. im actually into shamanism too. planning a trip to peru to try ayahuasca with tribal medicine men. ill be in all Gods glory eating fruit and talking to snakes in a garden.
Dogen, I hope my post didn't offend you. I have a sarcastic nature that some people don't appriciate, but I generally mean no harm or offense.
My ex husband who I was married to at the time found me talking to a little black garden snake I'd flipped out of a pile of leaves by accident once. The snake was alright, and actually quit curious about me but the ex husband swore I was crazy  I'd never come in contact with a wild snake that just sat up there and stared at me before, like he was totally hearing me, usually they just slither away (like I prefer, especially if their poisoness).
My point  I really don't have one  But if you decide to talk to snakes, be careful of who might find you doing such . Some people are really weird about these things.

nah, no offense taken. was just stating that i was open.i can relate with a zen master named Ikkyu who is said to have been critical of false piety, hypocrisy, and formalistic religion. hes known for his erotic poetry. Ikkyu Sojun was appointed to be the head priest of the great temple at Kyoto, but he renounced the position after just nine days, denouncing the hypocrisy he saw among the monks around him. In a famous line from one of his poems, he told his fellow monks they could find him in the local wh*rehouse instead.Though clearly not of an ascetic temperament, Ikkyu was a poet, calligrapher, and musician who viewed the world with a deep insight that permitted no pretense, favoring direct truth over religious and social facades.

My mom was a Wiccan and I share some of what she taught me but I am not a Wiccan ,I never could do what mom told me anyways haha.
I believe alot of what I learned from her practices because it opened my eyes to the spiritual world.So yeah I can count myself among the numbers but I follow a different path.
I still have all her tomes and my sister got lucky enough to get her tarot when she passed.
