Jeremy Adkison wants to help fellow students understand Wicca. He’s the vice president of KU Cauldron and is giving a lecture and presentation tonight called “Wicca: The Religion of Witchcraft.”

Adkison, Leavenworth sophomore, said that one of his greatest passions was Wicca, and that he wanted to show students what the pagan religion was really about.

Q: What got you interested in Wicca?

A: I was first introduced to Wicca when I was 13 years old. The belief in polytheism spoke to me. There are trillions of galaxies in the universe, so I wanted something a little more durable than monotheism.

Q: Tell me about KU Cauldron.

A: The KU Cauldron is a non-religious group. It is a metaphysical and pagan discussion group that meets every Wednesday in the Kansas Union at 8 p.m. in Alcove E. We do celebrate the pagan and Celtic holidays but in a non-religious specific format.

Q: What made you want to put on this presentation?

A: Of course I want to educate the populace about something that is still misunderstood, confused with Christianity and Satan worship. There are many people on campus that have heard about Wicca and witchcraft, would like to actually know something more about it, but haven’t had a hands-on opportunity outside of the Internet and books to learn yet.
