Wicca, paganism, and witchcraft explored at Lifetree Café

The beliefs and practices of Wiccans and pagans will be examined at Lifetree Café on Monday, Oct. 26, at 2 p.m.

The program—titled “The Witch Next Door: What’s the Appeal of Wicca and Paganism?”—features filmed interviews with self-identified pagans and a Wiccan who says she began exploring the religion as a teenager and still practices it today. 

“I think what initially attracted me to Wicca was that it wasn’t the traditional patriarchal, standard American religion,” the woman says. “It was stepping outside of the box. There weren’t rules, and there wasn’t a man at the top.”

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café meets at Jalapeno’s Mexican Restaurant, 314 North Second Avenue, Sandpoint, Idaho.
