i want to become a wiccan anybody know some websites were i can find some spells and rituals?

Question

it would also help to know about any wiccans in crofton md

Answer 1

Sorry to say but I find websites less helpful than real paper books. I recomend "Natural Magik" bu Scott Cunningham (it's a classic) to start your library off as well as anything by Silver Ravenwolf. She's extra helpful for young solitaries (which I assume you are). Her book "Teen Which" got me through high school. If only her new Grimore had been published then- that thing is super useful. In fact, at some Hastings, Barnes and Nobles and other major bookstores they even carry the "Teen Which" kit, which contains her notes and everything you need to set up your first altar. Or you could just get it off Amazon.

Oh, and don't let the haters get you down.

Answer 2

There's tons of websites with spells and rituals on them. You just have to use that browser of yours.

I'm curious. Do you think doing spells and lighting candles will instantly make you Wiccan? I hope that's not the case here. Becoming a responsible Wiccan takes study, and oodles of it. There is as many branches of the Wiccan faith as there are branches in the trees, and each with different aspects. If you are really serious, I'd go to a bookstore, either in real life or online, and get me some books. Scott Cunningham wrote some of the best books to date on become a solitary. Yes, Silver Ravenwolf's books are interesting, but sometimes a bit fluffy for my taste. I have a few, so I can say this. Anything by Raymond Buckland, Dorethy Morrison, Patrica Telesco, Steward Farrar or Gerina Dunwich would be a great place for you to start.

Bright Blessings and Blessed Be to you!

Merry Meet, Here is some information on the basic principles and beliefs of Wicca, I hope the following helps out. 01. Wicca is an oath-bound mystery religion, each Wiccan should either be Dedicated or Initiated as a Wiccan to be considered a Wiccan by their peers and/or the general Wiccan community. 02. Wicca’s ethical basis is expressed in the Wiccan Rede ("An it harm none, do as ye will"), and the Threefold Law ("What ye send returns three times over"). 03. Wiccan’s are polytheistic, honoring a variety of gods and goddesses. 04. Wiccan’s are also dualistic, seeing individual deities, at least to some extent, as aspects of one God and one Goddess. 05. Wiccans are also pantheistic to some degree or another, viewing divinity as immanent within the natural world. 06. Wiccan’s show religious devotion to the Goddess and/or God (depending upon Tradition). 07. Wicca encompasses aspects of witchcraft and the practice of magick even though many Wiccans don’t outright practice witchcraft itself. 08. Wiccan Ritual usually involves casting a circle as the basic setting for spiritual and magical work, as well as emphasizes the Platonic four elements of earth, air, fire and water and some form of gender polarity, be that theologically in the image of the God and Goddess, and/or mundanely in the physical gender of participants as well. 09. Wiccan’s more often than not incorporate some form of the "Great Rite" (union of the God and Goddess), frequently symbolized in the blessing of the ritual wine by the conjoining of the athame (ritual knife) and chalice (ritual wine cup). 10. Wiccan’s believe in the wheel of the year and the cycles of life, death and rebirth. 11. Wicca as it is known today with two cc’s came into being in the mid 1940’s, it was popularized in the mid 1960’s. But Wicca itself originates from Pre-Christian pagan belief system from all over Europe. Some (not all) Traditions in Wicca also incorporate the use of ceremonial magic, high magic and even Alchemistry which also predates Christianity. 12. Wicca is not a gender based religion so both male as well as females may be Wiccan. 13. Wiccans usually follow a base Tradition such as Gardnerian, Alexandrian, Dianic, Celitic, Discordian to name a few, but there are many who prefer to be what’s called Eclectic. I hope my blurp helps out. Blessed Be Nyjh

Answer 4

I'd suggest checking out what many consider the best website for Wiccans, http://www.witchvox.com
Also, reading authors like Scott Cunningham, D. J. Conway, Patricia Telesco, and Raymond Buckland would be a good idea

Answer 5

I'm all for freedom of religion, but becoming Wiccan isn't going to turn you into Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, sorry to say. Perhaps you've read one too many fairytales. If you're going for it simply because of the beliefs of said faith, all the power to you. But if you want to "cast spells" to make people fall in love with you or whatever, I'm pretty sure it's not going to work.

Answer 6

It sounds like you know very little about wiccans, so how do you know you want to become one? It would make sense to FIRST study a belief system, and THEN decide to follow it, not just arbitrarily pick it because it sounds cool.
