Wicca Beginner's Guide - Some Important Things For You To Know

Wicca is one form of witchcraft.

And many Wiccans are not actually practicing witches.

So you can be wiccan and not practice the craft. And you can be a witch and not be wiccan. And of course you can be both.

Wicca is a relatively new pagan religion that traces back to Gerard Gardner. Who due to his frustration with both Christianity and Ceremonial Magic (which uses psychic skills through rituals, traditions and the laws of nature) that was at that time the only 'alternative' offering, prompted him to create something different.

Some suggest that it came about in 1951 and other texts claim it was in 1954 - suffice to say it was in the 50's that Wicca came into being.

Wiccans are taught to think for themselves, take responsibility for their lives and live by the Wiccan Redewhich has the 'golden rule' of "An ye harm none, do what ye will"

A lot of Wiccans are attracted to The Craft because it drawns on and strengthens their personal power.

They learn to create consciously outcomes that bring themselves and others that given them permission to cast on there behalf, joy.

Wicca very much has a "live and let live" philosophy. There is room for everyone and for everyone's personal belief system.

Most Wiccans believe it is unethical to impose their beliefs on others, let alone tell them how to worship.

Wiccans also know the power of belief - and that what you believe will happen in life will in fact be the outcome you experience.

That 9 times out of 10 we are creating unconsciously - and that may then mean we are creating what we don't want. As we are busy caught up in our emotions about something - and that emotion/feeling is sending out an energy wave that then brings back in like your experience.

Wiccans recognize that life is a mirror - and that it is possible to focus on what you do want - and so it becomes.

As stated the Wiccan Rede is very much the Wiccan Golden Rule. It reads as:

Wiccan Rede

Bide the Wiccan laws ye must, in perfect love and perfect trust.

Live and let live - fairly take and fairly give.

Cast the Circle thrice about to keep the evil spirits out.

To bind the spell every time, let the spell be spake in rhyme.

Soft of eye and light of touch - speak ye little, listen much.

Deosil go by the waxing moon - sing and dance the Wiccan Rune.

Widdershins go when the Moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by thr dread wolfsbane.

When the Lady's Moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two.

When the Moon rides at Her peak, then your heart's desire seek.

Head the North wind's mighty gale - lock the door and drop the sail.

When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss thee on the mouth.

When the West wind blows o'er, the departed spirits restless be.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them quick and burn them slow.

Elder be ye Lady's tree - burn it not or cursed ye'll be.

When the Wheel begins to turn, let the Beltane fires burn.

When the Wheel has turned to Yule, light the log and let Pan rule.

Heed ye flower, bush and tree - by the Lady blessed be.

When the ripping waters go, cast a stone and truth ye'll know.

When ye are in dire need, hearkin not to other's greed.

With the fool no season spend, or be counted as his friend.

Mind the threefold law ye should - three times bad and tree times good.

When misfortune is enow, wear the blue star on thy brow.

True in love ever be, unless thy lover's false to thee.

Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill, an ye harm none, do what ye will.

Maria: The word Wiccan refers to a person, and Wicca is a religion, a faith system, the best thing to do if the tenets and moral rules of Wicca appeal to you in a spiritual fashion, is to read, read, read. Search for local groups in your area and find a local mentor.

jonathon: Wicca definitely isn't about good or bad. It is about intent, at least magic is. Definitely isn't about being talented or not either.

Faith isn't a fan club, a VIP lounge or the backstage pass at a huge concert. It is a method by which we apply our heart's devotion to something far greater than ourselves, elevating our praise on higher ground.

Hi Wylldrebel,

I'm not sure of your age. If you are under 18 then we respect a parents right to choose what their children will/will not be exposed to.

If you are over 18 - it is about following what feels right to you - and learning as much as you can about the topic, always guaging if it feels right for you.
