Is this a form of the Wiccan language?

Question

'Da Esta Ganwein.' I asked what this meant in the Languages section and Delicate Flower said that it is a form or Wiccan...is that really true? And if so does it mean 'I love you'?

Answer 1

There isn't a Wiccan language.

It looks more like Spanish or Gaelic. Some covens might use different languages in their rituals, I have been to a few ADF (Druidic) rituals where they use a lot of Gaelic. Some groups, though might make up their own language, or at least key phrases, but it would vary group to group.

Answer 2

That poem is truthfully referred to as "Rede of the Wiccae" and is derived from the NECTW culture of Wicca. I have a couple of exact issues with it, as there are a few intentionally deceptive statements inside it. The first use of the word Wiccan Rede (to consult the Rede itself, that is "An it damage none, do as you are going to") in public used to be through Doreen Valiente. Those who assess those matters factor out, really rightly, that Thompson's poem makes use of "an'" to interchange "and" however within the Wiccan Rede an method an, no longer and. There isn't any proof of Gwen Thompson's (Copyrighted) Rede of the Wiccae till the Seventies.

Answer 3

Wicca is a religion. It's founder, Gardner, was an British native English-speaker. There is no Wiccan language.

Answer 4

I've never heard of a "Wiccan language". Many Wiccans use the Theban script, but that is not a language and is not what you wrote. Good luck.

Answer 5

I don't know of any "Wiccan Language." Howeve perhaps you are refering to Celtic language, another issue. And that is not necessarily Wiccan. Ask for help with a Celtic scholar but don't necessarily equate it with Wicca.

Answer 6

to my knowledge, there is no "wiccan language." there are many different types of wiccans, from gaelic to anhelenic. they may use other languages known to those cultures in their practice. i don't think it means, "i love you." da esta sounds like a romance language and Ganwien sounds irish.

Answer 7

I've been Wiccan for five years and I've never heard of a Wiccan language.

edit: some words are familiar in Spanish

This/There is Ganwein

Answer 8

Do you consider yourself to be a good person? Most people do. However, most of us differ as to the definition of "good." Let's see if you are! Have you ever lied (even once--fibs, white lies, etc.)? Ever stolen (anything--the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you ever looked with lust? If you have said "Yes" to these three questions, by your own admission, you are a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart; and we've only looked at three of the Ten Commandments. That's how God sees you. Nothing is hid from His holy eyes. The Bible says that God will punish all murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, adulterers, etc. He will even judge our words and thoughts. On Judgment Day, will you be found to be guilty or innocent of breaking His commandments? God's Law demands justice, and the penalty for sinning against Him is death and Hell. . There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. Where are your beliefs leading you too? You know where! For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Repent!

Answer 9

Hun, I said that it is a form of a language spoken by some pagans...some meaning at least the coven where a friend of my lives. Someone close to me was learning the language from his uncle and I know from personal experience that that phrase means 'I love you.'...at least to them.

Answer 10

Wicca doesn't have a language. It is a religion. If it did it most likely would be Gaelic or such. My daughter said it is spanish and it translates to _______is Ganwien.
