Sanity. The belief system attracts crazy like a magnet takes on iron filings. It is unstructured, has so many off-shoots it looks like a fractal drawing, and doesn't police itself being too caught up in tolerance, so it's reputation as a system is failing rapidly. It's a fringe for people who seek fringes as a way to feel "unique".

This is sad, because it actually has a great deal to offer, has some great ideas and history, and has brought ritual back into vogue, something we, as a species, have abandoned despite thousands of years of it as part of our everyday lives.

And no, I do not think they're all crazy. Christianity, when it was going through reformation, attracted it's share as well (still does, as do most "causes". Wicca is just going through a growth spurt but isn't being selective.

Good luck, Wiccans. Actually have studied a lot about the system, and other related ones. Don't tolerate nonsense amongst you and your adherents, and though the number of followers compared to other systems will be lower, Wiccan beliefs will be more worthy of respect.

The most precious thing any Wiccan could possibly wish for is a working magick wand.

We'll settle for a working Book of Shadows, though. Most modern-day ones are simply phonies written by fakos who want to get money.

You want the Wiccan answer? OK. Luv!! *melancholic sigh*

Herself. Forget the broom, forget the pile of candles and incense, you yourself are the most powerful tool that you can have. You're at the same time a weapon, a shield and a sanctuary. You have powers to heal and harm, to shield and to develop.
Use them wisely, don't get swayed by all the colorful possesions, tools, pendants and crap. Just be yourself, trust in yourself, love yourself. That's the most you can do.

Forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ.


What God did...
Think of it this way... Imagine you're in a courtroom, you're guilty of many serious crimes. The judge says, "It's a fine of $500,000, or prison." You don't have anywhere near that amount of money, so the bailiff begins to walk you out of the courtroom when someone you don't even know appears. He runs up to the judge with a check and says, "I've paid the fine for you." Now that the fine has been paid, the law no longer has any hold on you. You're free -- because of the gift you were given.
This is what God did for you by sending Jesus to die on the cross in your place. So that you wouldn't have to go to Hell, God sent his only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross -- suffering the punishment that justice demands. Then He rose from the grave, forever defeating death! The Bible tells us, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) If you will repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus, God says he will forgive all your sins and grant you the gift of everlasting life. Just like the court case we just talked about, if you repent (that means to confess and forsake your sins) and put your trust in Jesus, then you will not have to suffer God's justice in Hell because the payment for your crimes was made by Jesus on the cross.
If you're not sure what to pray, read Psalm 51, and make it a model for your prayer. The words are not "magical," what God cares about is the attitude of your heart. When you pray, it should sound something like this, "Dear God, I repent of all my sins, such as (name them). I put my trust in Jesus Christ as Lord (to say Jesus is your Lord means you are now making Jesus the master over your life) and Savior. Forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
Now read your Bible daily, and obey what you read. God will never let you down.
What should you read? We suggest that you start in the book named "John," and then read the one named "Romans." Whatever you decide to read, make sure you read every day.
