Default Do these two occult groups sound any close to Paganism or Wicca?

Luna Sisterhood-an all female monadicICCccult group; its teachings and practices consist of spiritualism, fortune-telling, moon-worship, luck charms, water-worship, superstition, idealism, tropismaims hypnotism. The group is maternal and women are the dominant roles in relationships. They detest the sun because it represents everything that is male superiority. The women mainly dress in blue and white. They believe that all things born were from the moon, and that all creatures male are to be seen as violent, bloodthirsty and violators of purity and sisterhood. They venerate and idolize the Virgin Mary, Judith, Jael, Deborah, Jezebel, Herodias, Helen of Troy, Semiramis, Cassandra, Hecate, Athena, Artemis, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Mermaids, Sirens, the Sphinx, the Succubus and Morgan Le Fay. They believe God is a woman.

Sol Brotherhood-an all male misogynistic occult church; its teachings and practices consist of pyromancy, burning sacrifices, sun-worship, fire-worship, snake-handling, theosophy, heliocentrism, candle magic and theurgy. The group is Paternal and men are the dominant roles. They detest the moon and darkness because it represents everything that is female or feminine. The Sol-men believe that men and all existence were forged from the sun, and that all creatures female are considered to be weak, treacherous, poisonous and sow discord between friendships and brotherhood. They wear orange and yellow clothing. They venerate/idolize Jesus, Adam, Paul, Solomon, Abel, Zeus, Ares, Thor, Loki, Hercules, Euripides, Aristotle, Merlin, Otto Weininger, Arthur Schopenhauer, King Arthur, Satyrs, Centaurs, the Incubus and Werewolves. They believe God is a man.

These two groups only marry each other or to outsiders too continue the human race, but they believe there will be a day of Disunity; the sacred day when males and females will separate, procreate in the ancient way (men from Sun and women from Moon) and then can there only be complete harmony. This is mostly a satire with themes on religious tribal patriarchy and matriarchy, sexism and some forms of UFO religions.

It has no connection to Paganism whatsoever; although traditional sun-worship and moon worship are involved, its a fairly common religion worldwide, only in my story its idolized as absolutely masculine or feminine and taken as a literal sense in a sort of Lovecraftian kind of way. Except each group believes the other gender will be eliminated and only then can a Utopia take place.

It does not sound like Wicca.

Asking if it "sounds like Paganism" is a useless question. "Paganism" is not a distinct religion. The term can refer to any non-Judeo-Christian religion. This is certainly non-Judeo-Christian religion, and thus could very legitimately be called paganism. However, it does not resemble any historical form of paganism with which I am familiar.

Heheh, the first one sort of sounds like a lot of the "Wicca" dabblers I've met. Despite the religion having two deities, they all seem to be like "f*ck that, it's all about the goddess"... i suppose since many of them are rebelling against their Christian upbringing, worship ping a "god" is too close to where they came from. Some have been man-hating Fermi-nazis, but i haven't met many like that.

However, plenty just sorta pick-and-choose goddesses from various pantheons... "Yeah, my patron goddesses are Venus, Pasht/Bastet, and Kali". Some vicunas (the real ones, the ones i actually respect) see this as worship ping different aspects of the same goddess... but again, we're talking about dabblers here... most just pick whichever ones sound cool.

So, yes, in ways, the first group sounds right. But it's based on stereotypes.

The second group... pretty much sounds like the history of patriarchal society all rolled in to one big sausage-fest.

Paganism is a category that many religions fall under. Not a lot of them are connected in any way.

These religions sound like they fall under the Noe-Pagan or new-age Pagan umbrella.

They sound like the contradict Wicca altogether, because the Wiccan religion strives for balance and harmony, not one extreme or the other.
