** Also, any teenage Wiccan who says that they're going to curse you or make that cute boy they see everyday in the cafeteria fall in love with them is full of shit. See [[Fan Dumb]] below.
* [[Esoteric Motifs]]
* [[Everyone Is Satan in Hell]]: Wicca gets a ''lot'' of this, mainly from people who [[Did Not Do the Research]]. (Or in some cases, sucked it out of their thumbs so they'd have ''something'' to put in their anti-pagan tracts.) One common belief is that Wiccans must be Satanists because they use the "Satanic" pentagram. In reality, the pentagram is an ancient symbol that has been used by many religions to represent many different things, including the five knightly virtues, the five wounds of Christ, and the five books of the Pentateuch. More on its different uses [https://web.archive.org/web/20211110210003/http://www.religioustolerance.org/wic_pent.htm here].
* [[Fan Dumb]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20090819120051/http://wicca.timerift.net/fluffy.shtml Fluffy bunnies], or people who are attracted to Wicca because it looks shiny, makes them feel Speshul, or gives them something to rebel against their parents with. Symptoms include going on about the [[You Fail History Forever|nine million witches burned to death in the "Burning Times"]] and refusing to accept criticism and correction from people who actually did the research. Their type is called out and deservedly mocked [https://web.archive.org/web/20140101024142/http://somethingpositive.net/sp04242002.shtml here.]
** Even other Wiccans poke gentle fun at those cute, misguided kids.
