What is the Wiccan's belief ? and is it a religion ?

Question

DO wiccans believe in God ? and do they have a book like a bible?

Answer 1

http://www.wcc.on.ca/faq/faq1.html explains a lot of the basics of Wicca.

It is a religion. It believes in deities, male and female, and for most Wiccans, the Goddess is mentioned first, and more often. Some Wiccans worship many gods and goddesses; others, only two.

There is no specific bible, scripture or holy book for Wiccans, although many keep a "book of shadows" that's a combination prayer book, spiritual journal, and collection of religious lore, which for Wiccans includes spells and magic.

One piece of liturgy common to almost all Wiccan groups is the Charge of the Goddess, available at http://www.reclaiming.org/about/witchfaq/charge.html (and other places).

It mentions,
I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe.

From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return.

Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.

Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.

Answer 2

Wicca is an Earth-based religion and a branch of Paganism. While we don't worship the Earth, and we aren't necessarily "tree-huggers", we are very conscious of our environment. The Earth is a living, breathing entity and it deserves respect like all life does.

Depending on the sect of Wicca, most Wiccans believe in a Goddess and God. This because since there are male and female entities on this planet, then our Deities mimic this. It's logical to us.

And yes, it is very much a religion. It's been officially observed by America as a religion since the 1980's.

While we don't have a big book about what doctrines to follow, we let nature and our Deities talk to us. Some of us keep what's called a Book of Shadows, which is basically just a journal of what rituals we've performed and stuff like that. It can read almost like a recipe book.

If you wish to learn more about it, you can pick up a few books by Scott Cunningham. I personally recommend you start with "The Truth About Witchcraft Today".

Answer 3

All the non-Christian explanations have been good ones. Some Wiccans are polytheistic, some atheistic. I don't know what more I could add, unless you ask something more specific. For the first answerer, most Wiccans do not deny God.
The site below has TONS of information. Probably just about anything you could possible want to know about Wicca. If you decide to learn more, you can check out Wicca-A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner, by Scott Cunningham.

Answer 4

It is protected by the Government as a religion. The ACLU has won cases for unfair treatment because our religion.
Some Wiccans accept God into their lives, some don’t.
We keep a Book of Shadows (like a bible but WE write in it and search for our own path.)

Hope this helps.
Look up the Wiccan Rede, it’ll help you onderstand.

It is a legitimate religion. We do believe in a god and goddess. There are witche's Bibles, but personally I use my book of shadows for all my information.

Answer 7

They believe that achieving unity with God is best done by creating furniture that allows people to commune with nature. That's why their Wicca chairs are so well-made.

Answer 8

Yes, but not in the christian sense. Their one law is "Do what you will, and harm none." But they do believe in an ultimate creator as well as mother earth. All things, have manna or spirit, and we are all connected.

Answer 9

They worship the earth. They deny God and that's all I want to know.
