well there is a problem in saying pegan came first, then wiccan branched off. im not sayin wiccan was first tho, im sayin these two religions are so old that nobody could ever know which came first. The ancient romans were in fact all either pegan, wiccan, or christian, its a true and almost forgotten part of history. and if u were doing dark magic, u probly would have been punnished in some way, black is not always dark. as i for some reason, i have yet to discover why, have a hard time doing white magick and an even harder time doing black magic, grey magic is the simplest in my case. in fact the omly white i ever could do was charm a necklace, and the only black i ever could do was dissenchantment of the same neckllace, but i can do many grey things...
Actually the most ironic part of this is that the first people labeled as satanists didn't worship satan at all. They worshiped no gods. They went against all christian belief, yes, but that doesn't mean they were bad. In fact, one reason they were dubbed satanist is because of them doing as "god" said not. In fact, they though of pride as a good thing, where as "god" said it was not. This is just one of the many things.
