    A lot of people were in all kinds of religions... I'm not sure about wicca specificially, but especially eastern religions....

    Not sure about Wicca. Buddist and many other eastern religions also Jesus freaks. (Yes, that is what they called themselves) were very popular.

    Ditto :)

    I love Jesus freak, so neat and specific.
    Jesus is the only aspect of Christianity I buy into.

    I think that it was just the break from the 'traditional catholic' way of doing things that became interesting to hippies and beatniks and such...

    A part of the song 'Hair' from the musical 'Hair' comes to mind:

    "They'll be ga ga at the go go
    When they see me in my toga
    My toga made of blond
    Brilliantined
    Biblical hair

    My hair like Jesus wore it
    Hallelujah I adore it
    Hallelujah Mary loved her son
    Why don't my mother love me?"

    A lot of the lyrics in that musical refer to Jesus or God in general.. for example these lines (from 'Manchester England'):

    "Manchester England England
    Across the Atlantic Sea
    And I'm a genius genius
    I believe in God
    And I believe that God
    Believes in Claude"

    www.caw.org

    one of the earliest "hippie" neo-pagan movements (america, early 60s)
    (as opposed to gardnerian witches & such folk out of england)
