NaBloPoMo 4: Dianic Wicca & Filianism

 Dear Reader,

A question I saw posed on Tumblr caught my eye. This anonymous soul asked if one could be a Dianic Wiccan and a Filianist at the same time. The person that they posed the question to wasn't sure how to answer because they were not familiar with Dianic Wicca. I, however, can answer this question to some extent.

Dianic Wicca is in many respects the matrifocal version of Wicca that is closest in ideology to Filianism. Filianism in its worship structures are similar to those of Christianity but they do not prohibit magical practices, in general. Both religions revere the feminine Divine as the prime originator of reality and the sustainer of it. They use different language and have some diverse comments on things like the practitioner's relationship with the earth. But, Dianic Wicca is compatible with Filianism.
