Wicca

Wicca’s a good religion. I’m just starting too… but here… www.goldentreewands.com Everything you will ever need to know, even an active Wiccan Chat room! Hope I helped

erm, I would answer this question, but I wont. The witchy stuff isn’t really what I want to do anymore, but seriously [mikeh] the God Squad? WTF

I was wiccan for 8 years until recently now I consider myself a witch. Mentoring online is difficult but if you have any questions about the religion fun mail me. Here is something I wrote for these questions.

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 they believe that these are man made concepts and don’t exist in nature .

Wiccans do use magick but its not necessary. Wicca is a religion and witchcraft is the use of magick. They believe in no harm done meaning they do nothing magick or otherwise with the intent of harm. They 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.

They 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… They 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.

They use tools like: athames (ritual knifes), wands, pentacles, ect.. to draw and direct energy. These are only tools and a representation of energy.

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.

A Book of Shadows (BoS) is a witches/ wiccans journal for spells, experiences, herbs, knowledge, ect… A book of shadows could be a simple note book to a normal binder.

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 they don’t worship Satan or put hexes on people. They are a peaceful people. Anymore questions e-mail me. Blessed Be

I hope so, but I am sure someone will swing around to it.

and to answer the question.

there are a few of us on this site, so you are not alone.

I guess I could help you out if you wanted me to - I’m Wiccan, however I’m kinda young so I’m not the best person to ask for help.
