- 1997, Prudence Priest, quoted in Sylvana SilverWitch, "Just 'Wiccatru' Folk: A Word With Prudence Priest", Widdershins: The Northwest Pagan's Choice, Volume 3, Issue 6, Yule 1997 (archived link):
- Amaranth Energies is my witch coven. Freya's Folk Hof (or Troth West) is my Asatru group. I am high priestess of my coven and a priestess of my Hof. I am also the founder of "Wiccatru" and hope to have a book out soon on Teutonic Craft. I also serve as Coordinator for the California Utlandr Alliance.
- 2003 October 20, bowman, “Re: Inverse popularity with knowledge”, in alt.religion.asatru[4] (Usenet):
- I don't think it is as much what we know as what we bring to the reconstruction or innovation. Wiccatru *could* be the dominant form of the northern way. However, people with a more traditional and conservative value set staked that territory out first.
- 2005, Michael F. Strmiska & Baldur A. Sigurvinsson, "Asatru: Nordic Paganism in Iceland and America", in Modern Paganism in World Cultures: Comparative Perspectives (ed. Michael Strmiska), page 135:
- Some critics have mocked the universalist-oriented Troth as “Wiccatru,” meaning an unholy combination of Asatru and Wicca.
- 2005 February 24, hulk_arnol...@yahoo.com, “Follow-up- Hearing the gods”, in alt.religion.asatru[5] (Usenet):
- I wanted to press a bit deeper into a conversation we were having about getting and understanding answers from the gods. Doug spoke of getting an answer to a question he posed about Wiccatru. So, we're talking about circumstances where your question of the gods would be along of the lines of "what do you think or advise on this?"
- 2015, Jennifer Snook, American Heathens: The Politics of Identity in a Pagan Religious Movement, page 40:
- On a public Heathen discussion forum, one member posted a mocking description of “Wiccatru,” a derogatory term used by Heathens to refer to Heathenry that has been “tainted” by Wiccan or New Age influence. The Wiccatru, he writes, are “like, OMG [Oh My God], when we called the four quarters Freya showed up and said she was totally like, earth power, and stuff. Then we chanted over our crystals to Sif and had a Vegan lunch. Then, whoah, we went off to protest something The Establishment was doing.”
- 2021, Diana L. Paxson, Essential Asatru: Walking the Path of Norse Paganism, unnumbered page:
- Some heathens denigrate such practices as “Wiccatru.”

- 2001 September 14, Heidi Graw, “Re: Use of power to humiliate others....”, in alt.religion.asatru[7] (Usenet):
- I think Wicca grew more rapidly because it is a "fluffy-bunny" religion. Merry meet, hugs and kisses....warm fuzzies...it makes people feel good. It's hard to get across that feel-good feeling if the focus is too much on the martial side. For example, when I attempt to warm up Asatru with my own interpretations, I get heavily criticised for being a "fluffy-bunny" and a "bleeding heart liberal", or "Wiccatru."
- 2002 May 3, bowman, “Re: Pastor Perry F. Rockwood”, in alt.religion.asatru[11] (Usenet):
- Think I'd even refine that further to 'without being IDIOTS'. Like the old cliché, some of my best friends are Christian or Jewish. With some I may discuss religion, with others we just avoid the topic. Whatever religion we used to arrive at our core values, I find myself more comfortable with them than many crystal polishing new age pagans or Wiccatru.
- 2004, Krista Cherée Hulsman, "Heathen Magicoreligious Practices: From The Ancient Past Through The Reconstructed Present", thesis submitted to the University of Texas at Arlington:
- There is also a fringe group called among the Heathens, Wiccatru. Those labeled Wiccatru inadequately and without respect to the cosmology of ancient Heathenry pick and choose what elements of the religion, or deities, they wish to incorporate […]

- 2002 November 14, Ingeborg S. Nordén, “Re: New e-list: Huggy Heathens”, in alt.religion.asatru[16] (Usenet):
- I am hardly a Communist as some members of this forum accused me of being, nor am I a "Wiccatru fluffbunny" as others have accused me of being in the past. I am simply a Heathen who believes that there IS a legitimate place in Asatru for sensitivity, hugs, and non-violent feelings/activities.
