[The Sum of Awe]

Hey, I'm looking into Wicca, I think I may begin to practice it.

Wikipedia says that

Wicca is typically a duotheistic religion, worshipping a goddess and a god, who are traditionally viewed as the Triple Goddess and Horned God. These two deities are often viewed as being facets of a greater pantheistic godhead, and as manifesting themselves as various polytheistic deities. Nonetheless, there are also other theological positions within Wicca, ranging from monotheism to atheism

So what type of Wiccan am I if I am atheistic? Or I guess I could believe in them as of a greater Godhead (monotheistic in a way).

Also, I don't know where I can practice the circle and pentagram prayer thing, is that required?

What is basically required to practice/believe in Wicca. Be aware that I will ask you questions on the way.

Also, I'd like you to know I do practice meditation, but do I have to draw the pentagram around me?

Wicca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Start out here.

I did a research paper on Wicca for my Word Religions class and got a 100%. I could email it to you if you want.

I would suggest reading The Complete Idiot's Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft. Also
Wicca for Beginners: Fundamentals of Philosophy & Practice by Thea Sabin is a very good introduction.

Both of these books can be found at libraries. Wicca is for both men and women. A big part of it is participating in rituals. That is what makes it a religion.

No you certainly not but it emphasizes more on woman attributes and needs

It does indeed, but many men like that part of it. It helps them express that side of their personality.

From the bare amount that I understand of Wicca, it's more of a matriarchal religion than patriarchal. I think this is mainly what gives people the impression that it's feminine or "for women".

Of course, I could be wrong.
