[edit] merge

I do not think it would be correct to merge this article on Dianic Tradition with Dianic Wicca; Dianic Wicca is only one branch, and possibly the minority expression, of the Tradition. I understand Wicca is essentially a dualistic religion which honors both God and Goddess. Most Dianic tradition pracitioners are monotheistic or panentheistic, and are committed to Goddess worship. To ignore this fundamental difference in belief because they are both Goddess worshipping pagans would be similiar to ignoring differences of Catholics and Protestants because they are both Christian.

Should Dianic Tradition be merged with Dianic? SC 03:07, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

• I think so. Some editing required also - myself being Dianic & male but not McFarland being but one example ;-)Bridesmill 01:17, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
