is wicca good or bad?

Question

I understand that wicca believes in greek gods and goddess but the concept of wicca relates to witchcraft and witchcraft believes in only one thing and thats the devil and and they also believe everything is free! they believe that all their probelms for money, beauty, love and so on comes at a wave of a wand and spells or rituals can not cure urs probelms only u can. If u screw things up thats ur fault no ones elses and also force people to love u is wrong. Would u want people to force u to love them. Love is suppose to happen at a magical moment and happens spontagaously not when u want that person to love u blindlessly. the only reason that person would love u is because u forced them to. Money yeah its hard to get. But everyone has to work to get what they want. If u want a big house out by the ocean and being able to smell the ocean breeze with the wind on ur face and looking at the sunset setting over the sun i suggest u get off ur lazy *** and do something inside of whiny that everything isn't the way u want it. If u want to live the fairytale then u better work for it. I know Cinderella didn't thats because that was a fairytale written by someone who didn't get the perfect life they wanted. Beauty who cares if most of the people in hollywood have tan skin, beautiful bodies, just perfect thats because of them are fake and the ones that are not took care of themselves, they took responisbility on how they wanna look and act. And if ur born with straight brown, blonde, or whatever hair so what the color of ur hair reflects who u are and if u have brown and die it blonde then ur hiding from the world of what u are and also tryin to be someone u are not. I'm not gonna saw everyone is born beautiful but everyone no matter what as someone that loves them and when u feel loved truely thatst he best gift u could ever have u just have to take time to realize it! Look inside urself the person u are now do u wanna be that person do u wanna be dependent to something that could very possible ruin ur life. I'm not sayin to believe in god just think about wicca, witchcraft, christainity or whatever religion, look at ur possiblities. Do u wanna be ruled by someone that loves u or hates u, u deicide what religion loves and hates u. Your salavation, ur story of ur life is in ur hands no one elses. Every mistake u did is ur fault and u need to take that responibility so u made a mistake ur lifes not over if it was u would be died. Do u feel died or do u feel alive and feel like no one can take away anything u have. U choose its time to write ur own story!

Answer 1

I think this kind of broad generalisation is not healthy. There is good and bad in every religion, every one and every thing.

Peace!

Answer 2

I'm sorry my dear, but you're mistaken. First of all, there are a large number of different types of Wicca, and far from all of them believe in the Greek Gods and Goddesses. Some worship the Celtic Pantheon, some Roman, some Norse, etc etc etc. Secondly, not all Wiccans practice witchcraft. Most do but not all. Thirdly, witchcraft has nothing to do with Satan, and Wiccans don't even believe in Satan or the concept of absolute evil. Satan is a belief of Christians, not Wiccans. Fourth, Wiccans do not believe that all their troubles will disappear with a wave of a magick wand. In fact, Wiccan Priests and Priestesses teach their students that magick should be used as a last resort, once all other options have been tried. And lastly, we are certainly aware that we must take responsibility for our actions! One of the laws we live by is the Threefold Law, which states that anything we send out into the world, good or bad, will return to us magnified by three! This makes it so that we are VERY careful in what we do, whether it be within ritual or within our everyday lives.

Blessed Be

Answer 3

OMG. I have attention deficit disorder so I didn't read your whole paragraph. Next time put some spaces in ti. I kept losing my place.

I think you have a misconception about us.

1. Not all of us use the Greek Dieties, although some do.

2. Not all Wiccans use magick. And the ones that do, know that Nature is about Chaos and that if you do not physically work toward your goal, it will not be accomplished. Magick instead is a puch in the right direction. Or an insight into what is unseen.
Wiccan magick is really more like active prayer.

3. We don't blame our problems on others. We know that Chaos is eminent and that bad things happen the same with good. We also believe in the Rule of Three which states whatever you send out comes back to you threefold. Therefore, if we sent out negative energy, we receive it back times three. same goes for positive energy.

4. Wiccans have a Rede which states "An Harm Ye None. Do what thou Will" With that in mind, no responsible Wiccan would cast a spell on another person without their knowledge and consent. This includes casting love spells on them. Instead, if a Wiccan is looking for love, they can cast a spell on themselves to help find their true love. Or simply to make them feel more attractive or outgoing.

5. We consider magickal energy a talent like any other. What's wrong with using our talents to get what we want?

6. I don't see what dying your hair has to do with Wicca other than I know a lot of people who are Wiccan with dyed hair. Sometimes a change in hair color helps us express what we are feeling inside. The color we are born with is simply genetics. When I was working with fire magick a great deal. I dyed my hair fire engine red with orange bangs. (Luckily Portland, OR is a pretty laid back city and you can get away with this at work in most places)

7. What people look like in Hollywood has no reflection on Wicca.

8. Wicca is a mystery religion. We are not a book based religion like christianity or Islam. Instead we rely on our own intelligence to fill in the gaps of our path. This gives the individual a very personal approach to religion.

9. Many things can ruin your life if you let them, Christianity almost ruined my life with Guilt and sexual misery. Wicca doesn't have Sins and we don't condemn sex.

Answer 4

I skipped over 90% of your question because, well, it wasn't really a question. Wicca is not bad. Witchcraft has nothing to do with the devil since Pagans do not believe in the Devil.
As for love spells-you cannot do a spell to force someone to love you. You can do a spell to make yourself more open to receiving love from others, but you cannot force your will upon another person. "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

Answer 5

Wicca is not good or bad, it is in the intent. If you put out good energy and good intents, then good will come back to you. I am a scientist and a wiccan so I am a very logical person. Wicca, in a way, can be explained by science. Science can also be explained by Wicca. It would take me days to explain. But also let me say that to say Wiccans believe in the devil is about like saying Christians believe in Bugs Bunny. They are both made up creatures that have their uses. It is much too much to explain in a single e-mail. Let me encourage you to read Silver Ravenwolf. Any of her books will help. You sound young so I would recommend starting with "teen witch". And remember that just because you choose to inform yourself by reading does not mean you believe but does mean that you have an open mind and are willing to see things from other's point of view so never be afraid to learn something new. Good luck.

Answer 6

Ok first off, where oh where did you get you information?? You are sadly mistaken and made a lot of ignorant mistakes. First I would like to say that I am no expert on Wicca but I did take the time to look it up and brush up on my Wicca ways.
Wiccan's do not worship the devil. They do not use magic to fix there problems with money, beauty, etc. They don't use "magic wands" this isn't Harry Potter! Wiccan's are forbidden to do harm to others.

Answer 7

Okay, I don't think that Wicca's evil, but you're certainly not giving it a good name by ranting about inane things.

By the way, traditional Wicca does not worship the Greek Gods and Goddesses. Traditional Wiccans worship the Wiccan God and Goddess, whose identities are oathbound. They are henotheists, meaning they believe in the existence of all the Gods, including the Greek Gods and Goddesses, but they do not worship them as Wiccans.

Some Neo-Wiccans will worship Greek Gods or Goddesses, but it's certainly not mandatory.

And what was that about the devil? Witchcraft is non-theistic, meaning that you can believe in any religion or no religion, so you cannot say that witches believe in the devil. Certainly, there are some who do, but I would venture that most do not.

Answer 8

Wicca believes in Nature; not the greek gods and goddesses specifically. They worship nature and all it stands for...there is nothing wicked about it or witch craft unless you make it so. They also do not believe that " that all their probelms for money, beauty, love and so on comes at a wave of a wand and spells". I believe you may want to study on this further. I am not Wicca, but am pagan. That too is a misconstued term. People think Pagans are evil. Wicca too are Pagan. I believe we all grow in our spirituality our whole lives. We must constantly study. Open yourself to learning and not making unresearched statements.

Answer 9

Wicca is bad; let me ask you, do you seek the truth? The devil comes to blind and deceive those who are unaware. Pretend for a moment that there is only one God, and ask him clear your eyes so you can see, then go get a New Testament and honestly and sincerely read through the Chapter of Mark, located within the New Testament.
Go ahead, it won't hurt you and see how you feel after reading it.
INQUIRE, SEEK, READ, INVESTIGATE, AND DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU KNOW!

Answer 10

alright, you answered your question in the first couple of words.

Exodus 20:3
You shall have NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.....

BAD

And by the way, Wicca is the belief that all powers are from the earth. and that all healing and magic is done from believing that the earth can give you the power to do so... Thanks

There is only ONE GOD. "Greek gods" is more than one. besides, there are no books or instructions, or any great acts that people are still witnessing to. Where are these "gods"? Mine rose from the dead and went to heaven JUST LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD!

Answer 11

First of all... that's like asking if Christianity,
Judaism, Hinduism, *insert religion here*, is good or evil. Who's to judge? Certainly not humans who make mistakes and are definitely anything but divinely perfect. Why don't you leave the Divine itself to figure out what it considers good and evil. Secondly, if you just came here to rant, why don't you go sign up with MySpace or Livejournal, or another blog service. Yahoo!Answers is for finding answers to questions... not for your personal blogging and raving.
