Answer 1

Most do not object to homosexuality.
You can get materials for spell work at most metaphysical shops, I find quite a few ingredients at the supermarket.

Answer 2

1. Depends on the Wiccan, not Wicca. However, homosexuality is acceptable.
2. If you're new to Wicca, you need not yet cast spells. I'd wait a few months. After that, you should go to a bookstore and look for books by Scott Cunningham, Konstantinos, and when you're advanced enough, Aleister Crowley. Avoid any "Teen Witch" books, as well as Silver Ravenwolf books.

Good luck and may many blessings rain on you.

Answer 3

Wiccans have no qualms about homosexuality. We accept it as the path that someone has chosen or feels compelled to follow. Pure love knows no gender.

There are many specialty shops, both online and off, that carry Wiccan supplies, but you can make do with just about anything. I get my candles from places like Wal*Mart and the Dollar Store, and I'm looking at a stone bench to double as an outdoor altar at a local junk shoppe.

As others have noted, however, don't dabble in things you don't fully understand. Magick can be very potent and if you don't know what you're doing, you may end up with results other than what you intended (or you may get the results you want, but not the way you had hoped; remember The Monkey's Paw?).

Answer 4

One

people in Wicca do not care, they do not condemn based on sexual orientation.

Two

Spell supplies. The short answer is that you can get spell supplies in an occult shop, or you can get them online, etc. Really, just about anywhere.

The long answer is that if you are a beginner in Wicca (or any pagan religion that practices magick) you probably should not be doing spells yet. I would never say something like spells are evil, because they are not, but they are not something to play with either.

Also if you became a wiccan for spell work, that's not the right reason, however you really can practice magick without associating with any path.

Good Luck.

Answer 5

1. Wiccans do not take a stand on the human condition. We are non-judge mental and are deeply devoted to the earth.
2. Start with reading. Doing spells and stuff can be dangerous. Things can go wrong if not done right. You must educate yourself to what can be done and should be done and in what way. Try the book: Wicca for Life by Raymond Buckland It will give you a good concept of many different methods.

Answer 6

For the most part. Wiccans are accepting of all sexual orientations including heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual and asexual. And all lifestyles whether you be single, wed, partnered or polyamorous.

There are some covens that are strictly heterosexual but they are very very rare. Because Wiccans believe in reincarnation and the balance of masculinity and femininity within everyone, there is very little bias to sexual orientation. We value sex as sacred and devine instead of something to be ashamed of or to exclude from your life.

There are many outlets to find Supplies of magick. You can look on http://www.witchvox.com/ to find a shop in your area. Or there are many reputable online shops as well. My favorite is http://www.azuregreen.com/ they will send you a free catalog and they have great customer service.

Since you are new to Wicca, I will show you a few videos that I have found interesting to watch. They should help you. If you have further questions, i'd be glad to help.

Answer 7

The majority of Wiccans are accepting of homosexuality. There are some though, particularly in ome traditional covens, who either don't allow homosexuals to initiate or condemn homosexuality entirely. This is often due to beliefs dealing with male/female polarity.

It depends on what you mean by stuff to cast spells. Are you talking about materials such as herbs and candles or do you mean tools such as an athame?

For materials I would say that you could probably find what you need at most grocery and craft stores as well as large chains such as Wal-Mart.

If your talking about tools, well it really depends. You can probably find some traditional tools at your local mall or possibly at little out of the way places such as flea markets and antique shops.

Also, don't forget that you can make your tools and you can also improvise, you don't really need all the tools to start. Actually you don't really need them at all. Their real purpose is to help your mind focus.

Finally, I don't really recommend that someone who is just starting to learn about Wicca dive head-first into spells as I think one should have a decent grasp of the religion itself before beginning to practice witchcraft.

Answer 8

1. The religion of Wicca does not give us guidelines on our sexuality. Most wiccans are live and let live people who will not condem someone else for being homosexual even if it doesn't suite them personally.

2. Try reading Raymond Buckland's book Color Magic. It gives some very simple but effective spells that can be done with just basically candles, and charms you can make yourself. This book also gives a good overview of how magical principles work. Remember Harm None!

Answer 9

1) Wicca is open to any one regardless of sexuality or race.
the only thing most wiccans/pagans are not as accepting about, is people that are close minded and/or full of hate.

2) first you need to learn about wicca and or paganism. Read everything you can get your hands on. Not everything you will read is true or 100% correct on the web or even in books for that matter.

Good authors would be Scott Cunningham or Raymond Buckland. These are my two fav. authors
Understand first before you dive into something head first.
You are on the right path as far as asking questions just remember to full understand before you begin.
a good website for you to visit would be www.witchvox.com.

good luck

Answer 10

1.) Depends on the wiccan. As in so many things where paganism is concerned, there's a wide variety of opinions. Yes, I know militantly homophobic wiccans, and I know militantly homosexual wiccans (you know, the kind who hate heterosexual people), plus some of every spot in the spectrum between.

2.) KMart, WalMart, the grocery store, any good crafts store. Herbs from the grocery, most of the rest from any sorta store. Also look up occult or new age in the yellow pages.

Answer 11

Wicca is ok with homosexuality. Homosexuality is a normal occurance in 10% of Earth's population.

Wiccans don't cast spells. Back in the day, they were herbal healers =)
