Wiccans don't proselytize, so your question is nonsensical from a Wiccan point of view.

People will find their way to us quite well on their own, if they're meant to. We don't need to go around selling our Gods like a brand of toothpaste to all and sundry. We have a bit more respect for Them than that, as a rule.

From what I understand Wicc AIs just another religion - another pack of people trying to allege that they have all the answers. What do I see as religion's contribution to society? Religion creates divisive power structures which pit the various packs against each other on an ideological basis. It causes people to focus on belonging instead of on being a humanist or a moralist. It encourages people to engage in meaningless ritual and thereby permits them to believe that such participation is primary to being a good and moral person. It permits people to reinforce their dominant and submissive programming (instead of reinforcing their spiritual side by shifting a focus to moral behavior). It creates a sense of superiority in people which dehumanizes people who have alternative positions.

Therefore, religion exists as a result of the very programing which is contrary to the will of God. It exists for it's own sake and is (for the very most part) a total failure in either saving souls or binging humanity closer together.

Would the world be a better place without religion? You bet. What we need to do is move away from national, religious, ethnic and social class divisions and toward a more humanist approach to the world. By placing ourselves together in the common human race and eliminating these divisive frames of reference we would contribute to our collective good. Can you imagine for a moment if the billions of dollars spent each year on military supplies was instead put in to a world coffer from which social programs and relief for less fortunate individuals was made? Oh there I am dreaming again....

1. Go on the Internet and pretend to be Christians and say a lot of really stupid stuff.

2. Convince them there is no God.

3. Tell them witchcraft is women's true religion - girl power - and that male-dominated Christianity has conspired to keep them down.

4. Tell them Wicca's not really dark and horrible.

I dint think our beliefs should be forced on our children.
I think what you may be asking is how to spread the word that, Wicca is not dark and horrible?
Write a Book! It worked for Harry Potter!

I see you Wiccans suffer the same nonsensical b.s. answers Christians often give - IE: "you're not a real Wiccan". How can we get more Christian kids - even the real ones - interested in Wicca... HM, let me think for a second here... okay, how's this, how about a sting? The next time a Wiccan witnesses Christians leading their kids into church, they should call the cops and press charges - child abuse. Cause you know it is.

Or... we, as a caring society, could give them a great education. Generally speaking, any of the sciences will do.

Christian kids are the children of God. Those involved in Wicca are children of Satan, whether they believe in Satan or not. The fact that you are practicing witchcraft means that you are sinning directly against God. The living God. Jehovah. Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. Not your false gods and goddesses. The fact that you sin directly against God makes you children of Satan. You are lovers of yourselves, and not lovers of God, as the Word of God states.
And atheists wonder why Christians teach their children about God?!?! It is because people like you are so willing to teach them the ways of evil. Yes, I said evil. To worship the creations, and not the creator is evil.
The very question that you ask is proof that you wish to spread evil among the children of God. Repent, or you will suffer the punishments that are written of in the Word of God.

Convert adults to your heart's content, but it's best to leave the kids' religious upbringing to the parents.

Wiccans don't go looking for converts, at least not ethical ones.

We do not go door to door.
We do not pass out tracts.
We don't hold tent revivals.
We do not proselytize.

Those who come to Wicca should always do so of their own accord.

Besides, we have folks who's ignorant, uninformed and inaccurate answers about who and what we are generating more than enough interest without us doing anything. Thanks again Father K.

The girl above me shows pure ignorance.... i have never once had a orgies.drank blood or sacrifice

"its a fake religion set up by Satan to fool people into thinking its the girl power religion. why would kids be interested in drinking blood, orgies, making sacrificial offerings to your devil. that's just sick. "

its not just a Female Religion there are lots or male vicunas out there. Its people like this that keep the bad stereo type going about Wicca and witch's and pagans of all types
number two WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL that's a christian idea of the devil being a living thing... okay done with that,,

I would never try to convert a child or a adult to Wicca,
i was taught by a high priestess to respect all religions and NEVER try to convert anyone... my boyfriend is christian he understands my points of view and i under stand his...
my best friend is Christian and we both respect each other and don't try to convert one an another... when i have children they will be free to choose there spiritual path whether it be a form of paganism,,, Christianity.... they will be free to choose there gods....

Blessed be

It is not our place to try to convert anyone, but there are a few people who I would like to see get their heads out of their butts! One is really beginning to pizza me off with her obvious brainwashed lack of knowledge. Sorry, very unlike me.
If the children are meant to become Wiccan they will find a way. We can only hope that they have open-minded parents that will encourage them to find their own paths.
