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.

Yay, a pox on Wiccatru
2001 September 27, Dirk Bruere, “Re: What is Asatru?”, in alt.religion.asatru[2] (Usenet):
'Northern' can refer to any ragbag of Wiccatru slung together to sell a book to suckers.
2003 January 11, Rorik, “Re: Wicca-Asatru”, in alt.religion.asatru[3] (Usenet):
Interesting? To whom? Asatruar have been laughing at this childish gibberish for almost a decade now, although Wiccans seem to find it very profound. So why are you banging the tin drum for Wiccatru, anyway?
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.

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?"
2006 January 19, lex...@ix.netcom.com, “Re: Implications for Asatru food?”, in alt.religion.asatru[6] (Usenet):
If by "curious lurkers" you mean "fluff bunnies," well, IMO that'd be a good thing. Wiccans are nice on their own, but the Wiccatru-types, the lets-all-get-along-types irritate me.
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.”
Noun: "(countable, slang, usually derogatory) a person who practices this form of Asatru"
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."
2001 October 18, Odin Wulf, “Re: Regarding Milton Kleim”, in alt.religion.asatru[8] (Usenet):
And if you think Wiccatru are Asatru ... hehehehe, well, that puts EVERYTHING into perspective ...
2002 February 22, Michael Kouvatsos, “Re: Information On Asatru”, in alt.religion.asatru[9] (Usenet):
Most of the information provided by this obvious Wiccatru is decent ... although the idea of using an ATHAME??? I'm sorry, Asatruar dont have an athame ...
2002 February 26, Greg Shetler, “Re: Seeds of Misinformation”, in alt.religion.asatru[10] (Usenet):
When a goofball new age wiccatru comes along and says, "believe me and trust in me, for I have seen the light", he is engaging in the very same activity for which we are here blasting politicians.
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.

<sarcasm> The fact that she was a wiccan before hand (and in my not so humble opinion is still a Wiccatru) has nothing to do with her theories. </sarcasm>
2003 November 7, Ingeborg S. Nordén, “Re: Do the test”, in alt.religion.asatru[14] (Usenet):
Whenever someone wants to show non-warrior emotions and interests in a Heathen forum, it's all too easy to cry "fluffbunny" 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 […]

Adjective: (often derogatory) belonging or related to this type of Asatru"

Maybe you're in the wrong part of the south. There is no shortage of attractive asatruar or at least Wiccatru women in the Central Texas area.
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.
