[Oiseau the Little Bird!]

I myself have never felt marginalised in my practice in Wicca, but that might be due to the fact that I was a Solitary for so long and never went through the "proper" initiations/degrees. Though I could see where some women could feel marginalised in the area of the maiden-versus-mother-versus-crone aspects.

There was and, I still believe, still is a lot of controversy about training women to "replace" the high priestess once she retires, mostly because it seems to fuel the idea that once a woman is old and no longer beautiful, her duties are no longer wanted. However, like I said, I myself have never felt marginalised.
