Do Wiccans have a goal/purpose?

Question

I realy know little about Wiccan beliefs. What little I have seen left me wondering what the point was. There seems to be endless books on the subject but no real power in the spells other than to make money from people who buy them hoping to cause an effect somehow. Help me out here, is it a religion set to prove god is female through intimidation? I'm not making digs, I realy just don't see the point, but would like to understand where Wiccans are coming from.

Thank you Paradox for a sincere answer to a sincere question. Any one else?

Answer 1

Wicca is about understanding metaphysics and the great powers of the universe. Wiccans believe in God and Goddess not only a female Deity also male. There are a lot of people making money from religion and spirituality, if you come across such people trying to sell you spells and religious books claiming they know how the world will end and things like that you should know it might just be a fraud. I'm Neo-Pagan so I have read up on Wicca but am still learning. I think the main purpose is to grow spiritually.

Answer 2

practicing wicca or peganism gives you only this: the feeling that u are special and diffrent, when u r not.......... the feeling of power, that u could change something in ur reality right away, bent things to your needs fast. That's it. No salvation...no real knowledge. practicians believe that if they get really good at lighting candles of diferent color and drawing circles on the floor....they'll be able to make it rain on a sunny day and make people fall in love with them. It's all about power....
And i would like to insist on the idea that they should not be underestimated. the ones that have been doing this for a long time and actually got preety good, can tie someones luck in 1 min or less. i know that people like that can harm you, curse you etc. But to answer your question.....the purpose is power.



I would like to add that some look to wicca and peganism in a search for good, obtaining the power to heal and protect. Most start that way, but they get lost in all those spells.

Tessa, permit me to reply the final query first. Yes, Wicca IS truly. Wicca is a Religion and as such, we supply honor to BOTH a Goddess and a God (despite the fact that there are exceptions to that (Dianic Wicca, being one)). We additionally recognize the Divine as being appear within the Natural global round us, which variety of offers non-Wiccans the affect that we worship Nature. It isn't Nature that we worship it's the Divine, and nature is best the conduit by way of which we accomplish that. Wicca don't worship idols, we worship in entrance of statues (once more there are lots of exceptions to this as good (Green Witches come to brain)). Christians don't worship the pass, they worship what the pass represents, it's accurately that equal precept in Wicca. We behavior our ceremonies for the period of the whole moon (a few additionally the brand new moon), and 8 Sabbats that are unfold out over the yr (What many Wicca name the Wheel of the Year). These celebrations re-reside precise levels within the existence a long time of the Gods and Goddesses and are performed in commemoration of those Divine parties. The Wicca appreciate the lifestyles of well and evil as inherent is ALL matters, the whole lot and each person has the capacity for BOTH (Even the Divine). Evil as a consequence, is an indispensable side of the whole lot and one are not able to have one with out the opposite. The key to that is stability, Wicca keep the proposal of stability to be one of the vital middle standards of the universe and al which exists. So, to reply your first query, there's NO being that's thoroughly well or thoroughly evil, best the motive of the character determines whether or not a factor or an motion is for well or evil. Therefore, as there's NO being assigned the character of whole evil (ie, a satan) it's inconceivable for us to worship this kind of being. NOw, as many member of Judeo-Christian-Islamic Faiths are so keen on pointing out in unequivocal phrases, "if you don't worship the god of sunshine and love, then you're worshiping the satan". They fail to become aware of that with a purpose to worship some thing or any one, then worship MUST be the motive. There is not any such factor as unknowingly worshiping any one. We can NOT worship a proposal which does NOT exist to us, as a consequence we do NOT worship the "Devil", because the "Devil" is NOT one of the vital Divine being standards which exists inside the Faith approach of Wicca. It is as sensible and direct as that. Does this make feel to you? Brightest Blessings, Raji the Green Witch
