Answer 2

Along with all the great explanations you've already received, I can add that probably the more apt question would be "what are the Wiccan beliefs," plural. Why? Because there is no one Wiccan church, no one authority laying down rules or calling the shots for everyone else. So some Wiccans believe only in a Goddess, many believe in a God-and-Goddess pairing, some celebrate an entire pantheon of gods and goddesses, and some choose from *different* pantheons, depending on what they're doing. A phrase you'll sometimes hear is: "All gods are one god, all goddesses are one goddess, and together they are one."

The values, as others have told you, is an inherent respect for nature and autonomy of self as the best route to knowing Divinity. "Harm none," and the rule of three, and non-interference in other people's business unless asked (some old school practitioners even demand to be asked three times for something big, like to become one's teacher--that makes sure the person making the request is truly serious). We rarely proselytize. Most of us (though not all!) believe in magic, which you could think of as a power-of-positive-thinking with the extra punch of ritual to make sure it takes root.

Ceremonies can be varied as well, but almost all of them start with "casting a circle" (tracing out an area in which to hold the ceremony, like an instant temple); "calling the quarters" (asking for the support of earth, air, fire, and water, usually but not always as represented by the directions of north, east, south, and west), calling upon/praying to the Goddess and possibly the God, and then doing whatever magic or giving whatever thanks fit the situation. At the end, we thank the Goddess (and God), thank and release the quarters, and close the circle.

Answer 3

WOW! Big question! You need to look it up - even if only on Wiki!
Here is a quick answer!
Wicca is a reconstructed religion made popular (maybe even invented by) Gerald Gardner and is a mix of Hermetic/Occult/High Magic/ Masonic rituals, mixed with West Counties folk magic. Actually it is pretty interesting and I think quite a valid belief system. It tries to reconstruct beliefs of our pagan ancestors (with a varied degree of success!) so I also counts as neo-paganism...
Though it is really only 60 - 90 years old it touches on ancient, medieval/renaissance, 18th/19th Century traditions. The most important rule is called the rede and it goes, An, it harm non - do as thou wilt. In western occult tradition Will (Thelma) is a very complex and vital concept that involves destiny etc. Because of this it is a great sin to interfere with someone Else's "will" - hence the big crimes like murder, rape etc. are considered tremendously evil and it is believed that you get back what you put out 3 times over (3 fold) so if you do wrong by someone you will cop it back 3times worse (even if it;s not in this life)

Answer 4

well let me explain it as simple as i can....
We belive in the harmony between the Godess and her consort the God... They are equily balanced and Rule as equls
Our values are Harm none and do what ye will
Basically if you cast a spell make sure it is not to harm any one or anything

Also we belive in the law of three If you cast a bad spell it will come back to you three times worst...same can be said for good spells.

We hold our ceromonies based on the seasons or the year wheel

Sabbats are wiccan holidays. The Wiccan year begins after Samhain according to the Celtic almanac.

The Goddess gives birth to a son, the God, at Yule. Yule is a time of the greatest darkness and is the shortest day of the year. Since the God is also the Sun, this marks the point of the year when the Sun is reborn as well.Thus, the Wicca light fires or candles to welcome the Sun's returning light. The Goddess, slumbering through the winter of Her labor, rests after Her delivery. To contemporary Wiccans it is a reminder that the ultimate product of death is rebirth.

Imbolc marks the recovery of the Goddess after giving birth to the God. The lengthening periods of light awaken Her. The God is a young, lusty boy, but His power is felt in the longer days. Imbolc is also known as Feast of Torches, Oimelc, Lupercalia and Brigid´s day.

Ostara, or Spring Equinox marks the first day of true spring. The Goddess blankets the Earth with fertility, bursting forth from Her sleep, as the God stretches and grows to maturity. On Ostara the hours of day and night are equal. Light is overtaking darkness.

Beltane marks the emergence of the young God into manhood. Stirred by the energies at work in nature, He desires the Goddess. They fall in love, lie among the grasses and blossoms, and unite. The Goddess becomes pregnant of the God. The Wiccans celebrate the symbol of Her fertility in ritual. The flowers and greenery symbolize the Goddess; the May Pole the God. Beltane marks the return of vitality, of passion and hopes consummated.

Midsummer, also known as Litha, arrives when the powers of nature reach their highest point. The Earth is awash in the fertility of the Goddess and God. Midsummer is a classic time for magic of all kinds.

Lughnasadh is the time of the first harvest, when the plants of spring wither and drop their fruits or seed for our use as well as to ensure future crops. Mystically, so too does the God lose His strength as the Sun rises farther in the South each day and the nights grow longer. The Goddess watches in sorrow and joy as She realizes that the God is dying, and yet lives on inside Her as Her child.

Mabon is the completion of the harvest begun at Lughnasadh. Once again day and night are equal, poised as the God prepares to leave His physical body and begin the great adventure into the unseen, toward renewal and rebirth of the Goddess. Nature declines, draws back its bounty, readying for winter and its time of rest The Goddess nods in the weakening sun, though fire burns within Her womb. She feels the presence of the God even as He wanes.

At Samhain, the Wicca say farewell to the God. This is a temporary farewell. He isn't wrapped in eternal darkness, but readies to be reborn of the Goddess at Yule. Samhain is a time of reflection, of looking back over the last year, of coming to terms with the one phenomenon of life over which we have no control - death. The Wicca feel that on this night the separation between the physical and spiritual realities is thin. Wiccans remember their ancestors and all those who have gone before
I hope this helps
