Wal-Mart Serving the Wicca Community

The Canada Free Press notes Wal-Mart's wide offering of Wicca books and materials:

If you’re not getting what you’re looking for out of Bible classes at the church you attend, there’s The Wicca Bible: The Definitive Guide to Magic and the Craft.

The Wal-Mart of all things Wicca only includes one anti-Wicca book, Protecting Your Teen from Today’s Witchcraft: A Parent’s Guide to Confronting Wicca and the Occult.

If you’re a newcomer to the world of Wicca, there’s the inevitable Wicca & Witchcraft for Dummies.

This gives Cate Kaufmann an idea of the number of her fellow believers:
But, to get to my point, it appears from an article in the Canada Free Press recently, that there may actually be enough Pagan folk out there to support a congregation. After all, Wal-Mart just isn't likely to invest in stuff that won't sell.

Of course, the folks shopping for Pagan material at Wal-Mart might not really be the sort we want showing up at Ritual. On the other hand, I'd rather see them participating in Ritual with me than standing outside of Circle watching us with a shotgun in one hand and a Bible in the other.
