@XenonRush I felt much more comfortable in it. It to me had more peace and hope and concern for the planet. More inclusive of differences in both people and ways of expressing your belief. No dogma. I liked its values system. It wasn't complex and contradictory like other beliefs. It had deep roots in both history and cultures I was already drawn to even though it was a modern reconstruction by Gerald Gardner. It allowed self exploration and didn't forbid free thought.
A superficial reason is I just liked the iconography and paraphernalia as well. Lol
But I've never really believed in any supernatural component. Neither in Christianity nor Wicca. It was a more secular and humanistic belief. So I dropped it even though I still love it. It very beautiful. Even Christianity can be beautiful but it definitely has a very large toxicity problem. Which is driving many people away from Christianity in general. Any belief can be toxic in the wrong hands though.
But I can keep the values of multiple beliefs without needing the supernatural parts.
