I ran across this video and started to think of the many parallels of the Jedi way and the Wiccan way. In this video Yoda tells Luke to feel the force around him...that the force is Energy...Energy between you, me and the tree. Of course in Wicca we are always talking about energies, observing them, such as someones Aura or feeling them. The tree being referenced in the movie also struck me with curiosity as well as Pagan Religions see them as sacred.

Origins
There is so much to say about the origins of Paganism. Wicca is generally accepted as part of Paganism, a subgroup of them. I am an eclectic Wiccan with the name of Dragonos Star Stone. There is freedom in Wicca that anyone can be accepted into it...Christians, Atheists, etc. What many call god and pray to for struggles they face Wiccans call nature. The origins of Paganism or Earth based worship that included the Moon and Sun is up for debate. Many agree that it was the Celtic tribes of Europe some 3000 years ago that formed and worshipped the basic ideas of Paganism. Others, like myself, see it repeated in shamanism of many peoples. From this present moment to the times of Cave paintings some 40,000 years ago to the Neanderthals I believe in many ways the self aware human mind has been looking to the stars, looking at the nature that surrounds us in a magikal, mystical and wonderous sense for a very long time.
