#like personally I decided not to be wiccan because I'm enby

Hey can I ask a question? I’ve been kinda getting into witchcraft lately but the one thing holding me back a little is that I’m not super comfy with how much stuff there is about male/female energy. I know you’re Wiccan so please correct me if I’m wrong but I think I’ve read in reasearching it that most wiccans worship a male and a female god. Idk I just wanted to ask somebody else’s opinion. Thanks!

I am not actually Wiccan, but may parents are both Alexandrian so I know a fair amount about it. 

It’s true that British Traditional Wicca has a heavy focus on male/female energy and worship is centered on the mother goddess and the horned god. That said, if Brit Trad is something that happens to really appeal to you then I know there are a lot of covens who are in the process of trying to re-work outdated practices and rituals in a way that is more inclusive of nonbinary and GNC practitioners, so finding one of these groups may be an option. 

Neo-Wicca has some of these same elements but tends to be a little more flexible when it comes to gender.  I also know a lot of GNC folks who initiate into Wicca specifically so that they can have some more formalized magical training but stop practicing Wicca after they’ve gotten to their preferred point in their learning, so this is also an option. If you really want to be Wiccan, but you aren’t comfortable with the gender aspect of it there are different ways to explore the traditon.

Also, keep in mind that Wicca is not the end all and be all of magic. There are lots of magical traditions and practices that aren’t Wiccan, and most of them are far less gendered. If the appeal of Wicca is simply doing witchcraft then I think it would be worth it for you to research some other magical practices. 

Hope that helps!
