I don't know what war that Highland Eagle is talking about between Satanists, witches, wiccans, demons and whatnot. Although I'm new to Satanism. I'm also Wiccan. But yeah. What Highland Eagle is talking about doesn't seem to make much since to me. *shrugs*

A Wiccan/Satanist hybrid? Interesting. I was a "Dark" Witch, before I found Satanism. I saw the Goddess as Satan/Lilith and used Dark Goddesses mostly in ritual.
I am curious how you plan to resolve the inherent differences between the two. If you're looking for reading material, the media library here and the Mendes Collection are great resources.

While Satanism and Wicca can sort of look similar 'on the surface'...Pagan holidays can be part of practice for both, god and goddess names,respect for Nature, etc..
For me ( I practiced Wicca for thirteen years and 'converted' to Satanism recently) the greatest difference is the Philosophy behind Satanism, which I agree is not congruous with Wicca.
Witchcraft..essentially Majikal practices...can be part of many belief systems/philosophies.
My biggest issue with Wicca by the thirteenth year was the REMOVING OF NEGATIVE ENERGY...always cleansing - spaces, objects, myself- apparently everything in this world is just a big ole magnet for NEGATIVE ENERGY. It really started to remind of the shit the Catholics tried to impose on me in my youth- SIN SIN SIN......you're unclean, blah blah.
In Satanism, when I practice ritual I connect with the 'Dark Ones'... and as a human I am completely acceptable...and I NEVER have to apologize for having needs, wants, and my own opinion.

Okay, I don't feel the two are incompatible. Wicca, is quite different than what came after him. There is a recognition of both the light and dark aspects of the human psyche, if you strip away the "Religious" concepts of it.
The Goddess is a very appropriate version of the Devil if viewed through the right lens. I always thought she was the basis of that "Evil" concept due to her associations (Being the Goddess of the Earth specifically.).
Look, Wicca is largely bullshit. I personally found the idea of divinity beimg female empowering. As long as the Religious aspects are thrown out, I can see it working.

Satanists and Wiccans can hardly post in the same forum together, much less team up to wage an actual war against somebody.
Haha, I agree completely with this statement.
My brother is Wiccan and even converted his whole family (I imagine its easy as pie once you get the xtian mother on board, its actually a very cool dynamic hes got going.)
I remember visiting my brother as a kid (hes got 11 years on me) and we went to the bookstore, so I'm digging through the new age section @ waldenbooks and my bro spies two hot goth chicks stocking up on lavey. I remember later he referred to them as satan's whores jokingly of course, wiccans aint exactly altar boys. I found them distasteful as well, but I thought it was a foolish trend, It wasn't until nearly 10 years later that I ordered and re-read lavey and gained my current perspective (mostly anti-theism, rejecting the deity idea). As a result, my perspectives clash harshly with christians, wiccans and luciferians equally. Through that lens, even my occult savvy bro would be a silly, closet christian, white light dabbler who cannot admit his own dualistic desires(love,hate,etc).
I got a baphomet tattoo during what can only be described as a chemically induced life revelation roller coaster, whatever my reasons may have been at the time, or how misguided they might have been, I'm standing by it, I like it. I saw my brother for the first time in years recently, I wore short sleeves and the baphomet is on my forearm in clear view. Most people either ignore it because I forget its there, or ask what it is, hehehe then I just grin and tell them to google baphomet or the goat of mendes or I just say 'scapegoat'. The meaning is usually far widely interpreted, I just want fundamentalist christians to stay away really lol. Works for that, anyone who knows glares at me, good. Anyway, obviously my brother knew what it was and I already knew he was down with the rival faction, or at least a faction that viewed us as 'the wrong ones'. He didn't say anything, which to me is more disturbing than good news, I'm not sure if he thinks of me different now, but I hope not, I like him just fine despite his affiliations, in fact I enjoy his opinions on these things. But the point is, I'm not sure if he holds me in the same fair light. So to conclude my agreement with what I quoted, if there was a war, we'd be 'fighting' each other. This is yet another reason for my contempt for organized religions and the issues they create for society.
