Every religion has its myths. I say, let them have them.
We have a lot of wiccans around here; the ones I run into tend to be female. In general they're good and tolerant people, which says a lot for the religion.
One advantage of a new and/or decentralized religion like wicca is that it doesn't have so much of a hierarchy; you don't have to go to seminary for four years and eight zillion dollars to be a holy joe. You can both take part in, and help shape, worship in your circle. Much more democratic.
