about
My name is Cordelia Moore, and I'm a twenty-one year old Air Force wife living in England. I pride myself on intellect and am interested in many subjects, including Theology, Mythology, Psychology, Philosophy, History, Geology, Culture, Geography, and Literature. I am employed with the base Arts and Crafts center, and love to express myself artisticly. Some of my favorite aesthetic mediums are photography, scrapbooking, painting, drawing, mould pouring, stain glass windows, writing, and web design. I am a cat person by nature, and have two little felines name Sage and Eris. I enjoy helping others, ask a question get a sincere answer.Why did I choose the username Nyx? Nyx is the ancient goddess of Night in Greek mythology, daughter of Chaos. She is a primal ancestress, and mother of many deities by Her brother Erebus (Darkness). Her children are for the most part dark sorts and include the Moerae (the three Fates), Nemesis (justice and divine retribution), winged Hypnos (Sleep) and His brother Thanatos (Death), Moros (Doom), the Keres, goddesses of violent death, Oizys (Misery), the Hesperides who guarded the golden apples, Deceit, Friendship, Old Age and Eris(Discord).
She was depicted as riding in a chariot, trailing stars and bringing the night, and accompaied by Her sons Hypnos and Thanatos. She could be helpful or harmful to mankind, bringing either sleep or death. Nyx had prophetic powers, and gave them to oracles from a cave. She was older and more powerful than Zeus, who deferred to Her wishes.

Why do people think that we are like Satanic and that we're like completly evil..me and you both know that Wicca is not at all even close to that
Well... to tell the truth, many people are ignorant when it comes to Wicca. There is a large amoung of misinformation floating around about Wicca(for example, that we worship the devil, or that we eat babies). These erroneous ideas are fueled by lurid movies, television, and scandal magazines, and the anti-everything-not-orthodox fanatics. Extremist christians believe this(especially the older ones).
I don't think Wicca will be nationally accepted as a religion any time soon, but I think one day it will. There are far too many ignorant people in the world right now for it to be nationally accepted in the USA. Another issue is that there are so many newer people claiming to be witches because they think it's 'cool', and that all Goths are Wiccan, and that you will be blessed with the ability to turn your worst enemy into a magot. These are the people who know nothing about our faith and walk around saying,"You better shut up or I'll cast a spell on you!" This also gives us real Wiccans a bad name.
The best that we can ever do is try to maturely explain to other people what our religion REALLY is. Wether they choose not to believe us or to, it's up to them... but at least we tried our hardest to inform them of the truth.
I hope that helped. If you have any other Wiccan related questions don't hesitate to ask!
