    There are others out there who don't fill the stereotype who are otherwise normal people.

    But if they don't fill the Wicca stereotype, how would anyone recognize them as Wicca? Which means they don't count for the purposes of evaluating and further refining the Wicca stereotype.

    We blend in.

    How insidious.
