WHY WICCA?
In my newly released SCI-FU (science-based futuring) novel, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020), the female protagonist, Simi Andry Jan [Jan-Rho], whom I've been spotting these last few posts, turns out to be a Wiccan witch. Why Wicca, many have asked, and even more, from where did the rich portrayal of the uniting of a Wiccan High Priestess and her High Warlock come? Simply put, from personal experience.
I had the unique opportunity of dating a Wiccan witch for some time, and, I came to assume, a leader of her coven. That would make me her possible leading Warlock. I witnessed many unusual things during our sojourn together, not the least on one night while we slept together on a deck in sleeping bags watching shooting stars. Perhaps she had some foreknowledge about an impending meteor shower, but I simply recall her sweeping an open arm across the midnight sky and the shower beginning in earnest. It left me awestruck and breathless. Another time, visiting Hawaii together, I stood on the lanai while she called the moray eels to her and fed them chicken feet. It was imposing and very humbling. Would I have made a good partner and warlock? I'll never know, as, for reasons quite appropriate, she left, but only after trying her hardest to make the relationship happen. I've often wondered what one would call the offspring of such a star-crossed mating? A witchlock or a warich?
What our time together impressed upon me, other than her abiding kindness and deep love of all things natural, was that many people long for to rediscover a fundamental attachment to the world in a time when we're increasingly being detached from it. I can easily imagine a plausible future world entranced, even led by Wicca at the edge of madness.
