  • There will be plenty of other answers here from people who know a lot about Wicca, but I would say, no, not strange. Mary is a powerful, female image. She is the Christian version of a "mother" energy. Many people embrace more than one religion or aspects of several religions. Could be one of any number of reasons.
  • I have a feeling from your description your neighbor doesn't call the statue Mary. I'll bet she calls her Dunna, the Mother Goddess becasue that is a classic Pagan shrine if I even saw one. See, it's very hard for us to get statues of the Mother Goddess and some will use a statue of Mary instead. Which is kind of ironic since early Christians took statues of Dunna and made them into Marys.
