I should hope so.  Unfortunately, many "Wiccans" I know personnaly have
only gone so far as to dress in certain colors, buy certain jewelry, and
announce their new religious beliefs to anyone who will stand still. 
Unfortunately, they can't answer questions about the ideals of Wicca,
the history of Wicca, the origins of their ceremonies, symbolism,
etc....

I am, on the whole, extremely dissappointed with modern Wiccans.  But
I'd love for someone to prove me unfairly biased...
