Skimming that (very interesting reading :) it says that the wicca religion is derived from the shamanistic ways of old.
Directly quoting the 'article':
'Wicca, pronounced "wick-ah", is a modern religion, based upon the ancient Western European, pre-Christian shamanic traditions'
I was trying to get a shaman thing going. Trying. I mean, if you really want wicca in this whole thing, we'll probably trace it back to shamanism. This game is not set in recent times. Therefore the wicca of 'today' probably wasn't around, since it's a 'modern religion'. And since it's based on 'shamanic traditions'... Shamans were a suggestion to our magic problem, and tie into wicca to.
The thing is, I don't know wiccan. I just know so very little about the religion, I really don't want to go plunging off into something I barely understand myself. I think a few other guardians can help there, as well as any other wiccan gamers on this site.
If you want this, sure. I'll go for it. But it can't be completely 'today's' wiccan. How about if we combine wiccan and shamanism a bit? Make that sort of the 'religion' of the game? That's another thing I'm kind of wary about. Bringing a religion into this game... Might offend a few peeps.
And I really don't have much time to research (homework, less time online, etc...). But I'm willing to see what I can do, if you truly want this religion encorporated into the game. Do you? Be honest.
