The world was more devided than it is now and there`s a "push" for unity at the expense of "individuality", so it could be easier to control the masses. And you know, Satan is the false light that many will follow as to feel empowered - one way or the other.
Prophecies have also existed to this day like the Marian apparitions - which people should carefuly read.

Kinda ironic that you put it in those terms, when it was cristianity itself during the dark ages that almost destroyed the individuality for much easier control of the masses. The crusades, the inquisition, the witch trials, hundreds of thousands killed in the name of trying to annul everything that was different and that didn't mold itself by the christian thought and moral code. 

Have a look at how humanity suffered a massive technological, ideological and even humanitarian downgrade after the fall of the Roman/Greek ideology and rise of the christian ideology. That is why I sincerely scoff at these kind of religious claims that the christian message is the one true message and that everything had been predicted and prophecized by them. Were christianity to have won over the scientific advance during the age of enlightment, we wouldn't have this conversation now. 

Although many mistakes were made, if you keep always looking back, without looking at the path you are walking (now), you might stumble and fall because you did not see where you were walking.

Oh trust me, the path i'm currently walking is the best one for me and for my loved ones. I've retained all my individuality and my own self without having to subject myself to dogmas. 

What I do find curious is that you somehow criticize the "push for unity at the expense of the individuality" when that's one of the core dogmas and messages of christianity itself.

Do you actually believe the supernatural aspects of your religion, or are you just into it because you think it presents strong moral values and a good outlook on life, etc?

The supernatural aspects such as the goddess and the spirits of nature? I do believe in some part that we are connected to them, but not unconditionally. As for the witchcraft part itself, it's more of an homeopatic way of living, as there are a lot of things in nature that can boost your body natural healing processes and that can affect your state of mind. 

The strong moral values and the ability to accept people for what they are, with no discrimination and no judgment, that's one of the things that I value the most. I know you don't have to be religious to have those moral values, but since I always had a strong connection to nature as well, I chose to follow the Wiccan belief, because in it I found a good place for my being to live and a welcoming community.
