You're wrong, Feral Cat, to say that Wicca and Hinduism have nothing to do with each other. Wicca, while it's roots are older than God (quite literally) it had to reform as a religion. The founder of the Wiccan tradition was Gerald Gardner. He and many Pagan scholars birthed Wicca, the religion, by melding them with other ancient traditions. One of the most heavily borrowed from traditions was Hinduism, the other was Buddhism (another Indian tradition) A good example of this is the Wiccan notion of "Karma."

Hi Haunted, like many others you know more about modern Wicca than me!
What I actually meant was not that there is no relation between many esoteric beliefs today, I meant in the original forms of the religions! Although I know some people hold the theory that these ancient beliefs are connected, I disagree with them and think it is only now people look back and find similarities!
