Well, Masterwiccan, you may of course, believe anything you wish. But if you believe that you come from a long line of Wiccans, you are deluded. Wicca was not even in the public domain until 1953; and before 1930 it didn't exist?

Yea everyone believes their own thing... But believing things as you do such as clicking your fingers and turn into a cat type of stuff is non exsistant. You wanted to know about how to do that and people who have studied the belief have given you a truthful answer. Who do you think has more knowledge?
Lark is right you don't activate powers. you've already got it. but its not the powers such as turning into a werewolf. Wicca is a religion that requires dedication and the will to study the path. I suggest starting off with learning the basics like what is magick? and how does it work? and how does spells work? you can find this on books, websites or you can find an wiccan to teach you the path. that should be enough to get you started.
I suggest reading Gerald Gardner's book on Wicca. but don't attempt any spells because you are not ready
stop persecuting me! just because I don't practice majick the way you want me too! if it weren't for the rede....
the Gods gave me my beliefs, which came from my great great great great great great grandmother. she WAS wiccan, whether you like it or not. she celebrated the sabbats, the esbats, worshiped the same Gods and Goddesses and she also called herself a WICCA.
Besides, Silver RavenWolf AND Magaret Murray support my claim, while YOU are just a bunch of fluffy bunnies!

Oh dear. Ravenwolf and margaret murary. That says it all!
There are no Wiccan "powers" nor is there any spell that will produce them, I would imagine anyone claiming to have come from a "long line of wiccans" to have already known this. Also, as previously stated, Wicca was not around "the burning times"; Wicca is a fairly modern religion. Stating that your great, great, onward grandmother was wiccan is ridiculous as Wicca was not an established religion until the 50's; it would be more believable if you would say witch rather than Wiccan. You are quite right that everyone is entitiled to their own belief system, although we also are entitled to our opinion of it. No one here is persecuting you, they are simply stating they're opinion on the topic you brought up.

Absolutely Brysing.
One author's claims have long been disproven. The other makes up stuff as she goes along. Really good resources to try to prove your point.
And no, Wicca isn't ancient. It was indeed started by Gerald Gardner in the 1930's and not made public until 1951 with the repeal of the anti-witchcraft laws in Britain. The idea that it was ancient has not been suggested by any reliable authors since the mid-1990's.
For solid historical information on Wicca one should be reading:
