Are you sure? To me it just looks like your average sect. And having sex with a man wearing a goat mask does not appeal to me as "less creepy" :)

Also, a few wiccans committed a collective suicide in France some time ago.

I guess it's just less mainstream for now. We need to wait a bit for more scandals to emerge.

Perhaps so. I'm certainly an outsider to both, and I'm unaware of incidents such as you mention. Scientology's abuses, on the other hand, are well publicized.
