I'm not super well learned in the nuances, but through talking to some Wiccans I think I get the general gist. I really enjoy the emphasis on elements, AKA nature, and think this is likely the strongest magick. I find the morality break down (white, black, grey) to be intresting. Other than that, I'm not sure what to take from it.

I have been drawn to wicca and witchcraft since I was 16 years old. That's almost 15 years now. I love the whole thing, the symbolism, the lifestyle etc but I don't really practice it. I don't feel the need to do rituals every time the moon changes phases and things like that, although I do understand why some people do it. To me, there's something really magnetic about this kind of spirituality and it was sort of a gateway path for me in the sense that it initiated my slow reconnection to nature and earth based spirituality.
I think of myself as a techno-pagan.

Luciferian Gnosticism FTW.

Well, you could. Theoretically of course.

As far as Gnosticism goes, check out the Gnostic gospels, in particular the Gospel of St. Thomas. www.gnosis.org
As far as Luciferianism goes, check out anything by Charlie Manson. Anything you see in me is in you. If you want to see a vicious killer, that's who you'll see, do you understand that? If you see me as your brother, that's what I'll be. It all depends on how much love you have. I am you, and when you can admit that, you will be free. I am just a mirror.

I heard this was a great book on the subject.
Personally I've put my time into the Tibetan Buddhism and Eastern Spiritual traditions arena.
