or is there more to it dosnt this seem like the jewish 14 principles of faith

Answer 1

These sound like wise goals, no matter what religious orientation they stem from.

Answer 2

This one will be hard for me because I do not follow wicca I am Pagan. The differance first of all is that I follow the old teachings form before Christ or Christianity. So as far as I can tell you have the main goals stated but there is sooo much more to the entire thing than that. We do not truely have books written before
the ninteenth century (excluding personal books of shadows) on the subject our teaching and lessons were always passed down.
The Wiccan religion was braught to america by people form England that followed a pagan path. To make learning and teaching easier they also came up with such things as these goals and the wiccan rede. Wich in short states "Do as ye will but at all harm none". I would read some more books on the subject if you are really interested.

Answer 3

I've never really seen those before although there are some Wiccans who borrow a bit from Kabbalism. But most Wiccans go by the Rede, which is really the only code of conduct I was taught when I was Wiccan:

Bide the Wiccan Laws we must
In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust.
Live and let live,
Fairly take and fairly give.

Cast the Circle thrice about
To keep the evil spirits out.

To bind the spell every time
Let the spell be spake in rhyme.

Soft of eye and light of touch,
Speak but little, listen much.

Deosil go by waxing moon,
Chanting out the Witches' Rune.

Widdershins go by waning moon,
Chanting out the baneful rune.

When the Lady's moon is new,
Kiss thy hand to Her, times two.

When the moon rides at her peak,
Then your heart's desire seek.

Heed the North wind's mighty gale,
Lock the door and drop the sail.

When the wind comes from the South,
Love will kiss thee on the mouth.

When the wind blows from the West,
Departed souls will have no rest.

When the wind blows from the East,
Expect the new and set the feast.

Nine woods in the cauldron go,
Burn them fast and burn them slow.

Elder be the Lady's tree,
Burn it not or cursed you'll be.

When the Wheel begins to turn,
Let the Beltane fires burn.

When the Wheel has turned to Yule,
Light the log, the Horned One rules.

Heed ye Flower, Bush and Tree,
By the Lady, Blessed Be.

Where the rippling waters go,
Cast a stone and truth you'll know.

When ye have a true need,
Hearken not to others' greed.

With a fool no season spend,
Lest ye be counted as his friend.

Merry Meet and Merry Part,
Bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the Threefold Law you should,
Three times bad and three times good.

When misfortune is enow,
Wear the blue star on thy brow.

True in Love ever be,
Lest thy lover's false to thee.

Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
As Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will

Answer 4

Many Wiccans do follow these as guide-lines. They are sorta explanatory as to what Wicca really is. About gaining knowledge and wisdom, taking care of yourself, others and the Earth, honoring our Gods. We often say we only have one true rule the rede "An it harm none, do as thou will", the longer, poem version was posted above by another person. There are different rules for different traditions of Wiccan as well. Thinks of these 13 more as a guideline than set rules.

Answer 5

Jewish mysticism and the Quabalah had a big part to play in the formation of Wicca, as did Masonry, hermetics, theosophy and more.

In other words....you are absolutely right. Wicca is the ultimate religious melting pot.

Answer 6

Yes, there is more to it than that. Those are all things that we try to follow, however, we try to follow the three-fold law, which means that you do good or bad, it comes back on your three times over, and many other things. I will give you a list of sites to go to for more info on this religion, and religioustolerance will show you the Jewish religion as well as any others that you would like to research. Blessed Be!!!!

Answer 7

You mean the jewish "13" principles?
Moving along, besides that they share the number 13, they bear no resemblance at all.

Answer 8

I know Wiccans who incorporate Kabballah into their Craft. This is what I believe you reference.

Answer 9

Most of them are I believe. Check on wikipedia.

Answer 10

You cant take a bad egg and make a good omelet.
Signed,
God
