BELIEFS AND CUSTOMS OF WICCA
Not every Wiccan will subscribe to all of these points, but
generally they are representative.

1. The divine Spirit is present in all creatures and things: people, animals, plants, stones...
2. The ultimate creative force manifests in both feminine and masculine modes; therefore it is often symbolized as the Goddess and The God.
3. In some covens, both are celebrated equally. In others, The Goddess is given precedence or even celebrated without reference to the God.
4. All Goddesses and Gods are aspects of The Goddess and The God. The aspects most popular in Wicca are the Triple Goddess of the Moon (Maiden, Mother and Crone) and the Horned God of death and rebirth.
5. Reincarnation and karma are valid concepts. Upon death one goes to a state of rest and reflection, and eventually chooses where and when s/he will be reborn.
6. Magick is practiced for positive (helping) purposes: spiritual development, healing, guidance, safety, etc.
7. Rituals are generally performed outdoors when possible, at the
New and Full Moons, and at eight Sabbat festivals which mark the
progression of the seasons.
8. Magick and celebration are performed in small groups, usually
3 to 13, called covens. These are basically autonomous -- there
is no central church authority or hierarchy.
9. There is no holy book, or prophet, no equivalent of the Bible
or Jesus or Mohammed. Individuals have access to the divine, and
do not require an intermediary. Every initiate is regarded as a
priest/ess.
10. The central ethic is "And ye harm none, do as ye will."
Whatever energy you send out returns threefold, so it is wise to
be kind to others.
11. We should live in harmony with the Earth and Nature, and not
exploit them.
12. Though Wicca is a valid spiritual path, it is not the only
one. There is no recruiting, and people should be free to choose
the path that best fits their needs.
13. The concepts of original sin, sacrifice, redemption,
Šconfession, the divinity of Jesus, sinfulness of sex, Judgment,
Heaven and Hell, denigration of women, bodily resurrection, and
the Bible as divine revelation are not part of Wicca. Neither are
Satanism, the Black Mass, desecration of cemeteries, the sacrifice
of animals, etc.

I wouldn't let go of something with over 2000 prophesies that were true. BTW I tried Wicca but didn't care to disrobe and frolic while seeking a spiritual path but if that's what some are into I'm NOT their judge.

Crow - do ALL athiests make blanket statements about Xtians - most the ones here are very patient and kind, how about you?

basic, for the comparable reason human beings turn from God now. Following fake ideals will usually enable somebody to do what they desire incredibly than obeying the precepts of religion. Even most of the founders of evolution admitted their concept become inspired often by using fact they might incredibly ward off the regulations linked with the Christian faith, often the sexual morality matters. in the classic cases, different religions allowed immorality and a few even demanded it. a number of those religions demanded conflict, plunder, rape, revenge, etc. In different words, historical anybody is not any distinctive from in the present day's human beings. They save on with what their 'itching ears' pick to pay attention.

That may do well for a directory, but not for a human being who will one day pass from this life into eternity. I choose to trust the One Who laid down His life that I might live with the One true God who can admit no evil into His eternal kingdom. Why you are willing to trust your eternal soul to these so-called gods and goddesses I cannot fathom. What they are doing is giving you a plan that you can live with and feel good about yourself with so long as you reject the free gift of eternal life offered by God through faith in Christ. It's the greatest offering ever given, the One Perfect Life sacrificed for His enemies, detractors and scoffers. For you and for me.

Whatever floats your boat. Wicca is not for me since I don't believe in any spirit or god, but if that's what you believe, more power to you.
