Oh, and by the way--I have a couple of friends who practice Wicca, and it's not devil-worship. It's actually nature-worship, and it's quite similar to Buddism in many ways.
Wicca doesn't accept the premise of God and Devil, Good and Evil. There's Light and Dark, similar to Shintoism, but, like Shinto, it's merely a contrast, not a conflict (yin-yang). And yes, it does include magic (or, to be more precise, magick--there's a subtle difference), but only as an extension of Nature and the Mother Goddess.
I encourage anyone who doesn't believe this to research the topic.
