Is wicca bad, I didnt think so???

I was talkin to my friend and she was sayin that wicca is evil and made up!! why do some people have such bad attitudes towards it, I mean its not like they hurt anyone or do anything wrong, do they??? Besides its just a religion, not creepy and weird!!

Answer #1

Is wicca bad?

Religions in general are neither good nor bad. It really comes down to the person practicing it…

Answer #2

I think some people are like that cause they are scared of things they might not know about and then they judge others. I don’t personally know a lot about Wicca and I am a Christian but I don’t think that is is bad or satanistic or anything like that. It is just another religion that is different from mine.

Answer #3

“Ask yourself the question: Does it glorify God or something else ?”& what does your religion glorify? Not God it candy coats him. Your God is vindictive, malicious, not worth glorifying at all. Wicca glorifies nature, worships the earth, they serve to protect the earth & heal the sick, & protect the innocent in whatever way they can

Answer #4

I’d suggest having a civil conversation with your friend, and tell her what wicca is really about. And besides, all religions are made up - that’s not something unique to wicca. ;)

Answer #5

13 you will never get reason to the poor mindcontroled people. They are just jealous cause they can’t figure out how we escaped being brain washed and not them.

If its not God its satan. Wow what a load of crap. Where have I heard that before “ Your either with us or your against us” yea that made a lot of sense too. What about the vindictive, sickaphant God you worship

Answer #6

Wicca is Satan worship !!! What Satan gives you is all bad things, God will give you good things. To be a Satanist you have to accept the Christianity views of good & evil, the occult does not, we view everything as it is, not good or evil, there is none to us, just dark & light. Satanism is just the darker side of Christianity. I guess in a way you can say Christians worship the devil if you think about it. Good cannot exist without evil. Enough with witches worship Satan. Witches stem from Pantheism which is the oldest religion in existence.

Answer #7

Wicca isn’t bad but in some religions it can be. I agree with captainassassin.

Answer #8

wicca has nothing to do with satan. Satan is a christian/jewish consept

Answer #9

Dose it glorify God or something else? Answer: It glorify many Gods and Goddesses and Nature.

Wicca is an earth based religion that worships the Gods and Goddess as well as the cycles of the earth and balance. Except good and evil we believe that these are man made concepts and don’t exist in nature .

Wiccans do use magic but its not necessary. Wicca is a religion and witchcraft is the use of magick. We believe in no harm done meaning we do nothing magick or otherwise with the intent of harm. We also believe in the rule of 3 which means that what ever you do ,good or bad with magick or not , comes back to you x3. This is also known as Karma. Anyone that tells you they can escape or stop the rule of 3 or karma is lying to you and themselves.

We don’t follow any doctrine such as the bible, but there is somethings that a good wiccan should know like: the Wiccan Rede, 13 goals, general beliefs, Charge of the God and the Charge of the Goddess… We have 8 sabots a year that are in tune with the cycles of the earth such as the solstice, and equinox. These focus on the God while the esabbats new and or full moons, focus on the Goddess.

We use tools like: athames (ritual knifes), wands, pentacles, ect.. to draw and direct energy. These are only tools and a representation of energy. Since we as humans can’t hold pure energy these, along with symbols, help us use energies.

There are many different types of wiccans. Such as Traditional, eceletic, solitary, coven. Traditional is usually in a coven with strict rules such as Alexandrian or Gardener. Eceletic is one that doesn’t follow any coven rules they find what works for them and incorporated that and kinda make there own magic. A solitary works usually alone as opposed to a coven that works together. However sometimes they may work with other solitaries or gather to celebrate a Sabbath. My Book of shadows is pretty extensive form the things I mentioned to herb and incense guide, astrological calendar, spells, divination tarot, runes, omens, palm reading, astronomy, experiences, writings, dream journal, what I call an archive sections with letters from people in my past, a news paper article with my dad being a hero in it and an auto bio form my great great uncle. and more. Its took me a long time to develop it. It got so big I had to but it in a 100CD case and still had to put some of it into a separate binder. Your book of shadows could be a simple note book to a normal binder. I keep all the papers in paper protectors to preserve them.

Traditional it takes a year and a day of study before initiation. For coven members they are usually assigned a mentor to teach them. General they are not permitted to cast spells but are allowed to observe the coven and celebrate on Sabbath. After a year and a day if the mentor and other members of the coven think he/she is ready they will perform an initiation ceremony and they will be welcomed into the coven. Initiation however dose take a coven. Self initiation are commonly know as dedication. This is here you dedication yourself to a God or Goddess or even the belief its self. This is a judgment call on your part. Aging a year and a day is traditional but this is your journey and if you feel you need more time that’s okay too. A solitary can study by reading everything they can, or maybe finding another that is willing to be a mentor.

Most of all we don’t worship Satan or put hexes on people. We are a peaceful people. Anymore questions e-mail me. Blessed Be

Answer #10

Ask yourself the question: Does it glorify God or something else ?

Answer #11

give me a break they cast spells they are evil and thats what they represent do you really want to be apart of something wicked

Answer #12

wicca is like witchcraft!!…

Answer #13

Wiccan beliefs, as with most smaller religions, aren’t well known to outsiders. As a result, people become suspicious and rumors are spread as to what the religion is about. In the West, where Christianity is mainstream, Wicca is seen as being another form of sorcery, witchcraft, and black magic, and is often shunned. This is probably why it’s been described as “creepy and weird” by some.

Wicca is basically a modern pagan religion, which celebrates certain festivals connected to occurrences in nature. They also have various rituals and rites, along with a set of beliefs about magic, elements in nature, various gods and spirits, etc.

Like I say, because of its ancient pagan roots, Wicca is viewed with suspicion, and sometimes considered evil, by other religions. I’ve only known one Wiccan, and she was very friendly, down to earth, and not at all creepy or weird. She only shared her religious views when asked about them.

Hmm, Christianity is evil then King Solomon, Jesus, Belomancy, egg white dabbling, Christians had their taste of dabbling in magick Solomon had 13 seals that were given to him by DEMONS that he used to have a “better” life. Jesus raised the dead, necromancy There’s forms of divination( I can make a list if you wish) that they practiced. Not to mention you practice OUR holidays. Christmas(Winter Solstice) Easter(Eostria). The whole thing of Jesus dieing for 2-3 days came from the Pagan God(who corresponds with the sun). For 3 days the sun would stay on the same coarse then move forward which resembled the rebirth of the God. Heck, even without the magick thing, Christians are far more evil than witches on that scale, if you believe in Good & Evil, I however, since I’m a witch & a person of rationality(try to be anyways), do not.

I was close to not esapeing, I hate to admit

Answer #15

yeah… Anyone can turn their religion “bad” - it depends on whether the person is “good” or “bad”. Also, from a Wiccan/pagan (also my my personal, without thinking of religion) point of view, Wicca/Paganism isn’t bad, it’s a way of being in touch with nature the way the world did before Christianity. I’m not saying modern Wicca/Paganism is exactly the same as it was back then though, please note.
