What in the actual fuck are you on about?
Nothing in wicca allows any of that, so far as I'm aware.
That's SO far off base with what I understand of the basic tenets of wicca that it'd be like an humanist atheist vegan suddenly signing on to work as a halal butcher and then deciding animals aren't enough, it's time to butcher people instead.
Yeah, while there are dozens or possibly hundreds of flavors of "wicca". The first tenent is almost always some variation on "do no harm". Normally phrased something like "as it harms none, do as thou will"... Which is odd phrasing for something written in the last century.
The main exception is those who follow Crowley. His whole deal was "do what thou will shall be the whole of the law".
Crowley was mostly in it for the shock value.
And again, Crowley's "ancient wisdom" is newer than the invention of photography. We even have recordings of him speaking.
I'm somewhat critical of wicca and I don't even know what the fuck they're talking about.
