There's also a Pagan 12-step recovery group.

LMAO -- this has got to be one of the most outrageous things that I have ever heard.

As an interfaith minister who has shared time with Pagans I must say - Wicca is one of the most loving "religions" I have ever encountered.

I would highly recommend, if only for educational purposes, everyone look into Wicca and make a decision about how they feel about it.

If you are seeking fear, hate, intolerance and evil you will be greatly disappointed.

Blessed be!

Why would a pagan 12-step be outrageous to you?
