<Jackie> for the sake of discussion...what is the difference
   between Wicca and NA?
<Choso-Vi> Jackie is wise and knows great amounts of all thing
<Choso-Vi> things
<GrayMind> heh
<GrayMind> If we are making distinctions, wiccan and druidic
  spiritual practices are not one in the same.
<GrayMind> I do hate making distinctions though, it's so much
  more fun to look for how we are alike.  It unifies us.

<Choso-Vi> stuff
<Choso-Vi> i  agree gray
