could anyone help someone getting back into eclectic wicca?

Question

Im trying to get back into wicca. i forgot about it when i switched to zoloft, but since switching off, i was thinking about what i did before, and wicca came to mind again and im completely forgetting stuff i should be doing. So could anyone help, this includes chants, spells, incantations too, but i have overprotective parents so i do not have access to candles (well candles yes but not lighters) thanks! -Roxanne

Answer 1

I can't throw stones at the "antidepressant" glass house -- I'm on them myself.

How old are you? If you're under the age of majority and still living in your parents' household, you might want to hold off on practicing Wicca -- especially if you feel like you have to keep it a secret from your parents. That kind of concealment, in my experience, starts eating into the soul fairly quickly. This isn't to say that you can't start preparing to be fully Wiccan now: you can practice techniques of meditation and focus (like mindfulness exercises) that will serve you in very good stead when you come fully into the religion. (A side benefit of meditation and mindfulness is that it often has a beneficial effect on depression itself.)

If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me, although I can't mentor you if you're under the age of majority, for legal reasons. I do wish you the best of luck on your path.

Answer 2

If your parents are over protective, they can stop you practicing wicca, but the laws in a few places, because of its sexual content "The Great Rite" and "Skyclad" for example.

Eclectic wicca? I dont like that word, try a reformed tradition for solitaries instead, Simon Craft, wrote a good one called "Dragon Tradition Wicca" its reformed tradition which has also been made for solitaries, with some eclectic aspects.
If your interested in that, I will give you a couple of links...

I dont like usually suggestion a tradition, but have a look at one, rather then becoming straight eclectic, wicca becomes extremely muddled, and confusing when it becomes so eclectic you no longer know what is Wicca, and whats not.

Answer 3

Eclecticism refers to taking from many components. springing up a syncretic Buddhist-Wicca would not *relatively* be eclectic Wicca, yet a syncrete of Buddhism and Wicca. the problem, of direction, is that center Wicca and Buddhism do no longer possibly play properly jointly. you would be wanting a sparkling-Age version of Wicca or a Westernized Buddhism to prevail. of direction, believing in elementals and casting spells isn't Wiccan in any respect, so i'm curious what, precisely, in Wicca, you anticipate to syncreticize. there's a (extremely frightening) vogue in Wicca at present to label people who admit that no longer each and every thing is Wicca as fascists, or as annoying-Gards, or as unfair meanies. i'm basically being trustworthy with you, as a Wiccan of over 2 an prolonged time.

Answer 4

Zoloft caused you to forget Wicca? I was on Zoloft for a while but didn't experience loss of interest in spirituality nor in areas of memory w/ respect to the mechanisms and tenets of the spiritual practice I engaged in. In fact, it helped me. I guess we're all different. Plus I was on Zoloft when I was an adult so ...

Answer 9

Thanks for the message.

I am Wiccan. This is the 13 Principles of Wiccan belief. I hope I can help you understand them.

1. We practice rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm of life forces marked by the phases of the Moon and the seasonal quarters and cross-quarters. (Wiccans believe that the moon is a part of the power of the Goddess. That is relevant by its correlation to a woman's menstrual cycle and the tides. We have 8 Sabbats that make up the Wheel of the Year as well as 13 Esbats-Full Moons.)

2. We recognize that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility toward our environment. We seek to live in harmony with nature, in ecological balance offering fulfillment to life and consciousness within an evolutionary concept. We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than is apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary, it is sometimes called sometimes called "supernatural," but we see it lying within that which is naturally potential to all.
(Magick comes from an ability to control your environment through attuning with the elements and keys)

4. We conceive of the Creative Power in the Universe as manifesting through polarity--as masculine and feminine--and that this same creative power lives in all people, and functions through the interaction of the masculine and feminine. We value neither above the other, knowing each to be supportive of the other. We value sexuality as pleasure, as the symbol and embodiment of Life, and as one of the sources of energies used in magickal practice and religious worship.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f76p-xcsb...

5. We recognize both outer worlds and inner, or psychological worlds--sometimes known as the Spiritual World, the Collective Unconscious, the Inner Planes, etc.--and we see in the interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomena and magickal exercises. We neglect neither dimension for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment.
(Our innerverse is ours to control and as part of that, we can contrl the outerverse)

6. We do not recognize and authoritarian hierarchy, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership.
(We have high priests and priestesses, but we don't let them interpret what we believe. We make up our own minds and lead our own rituals.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sln_q73up...

7. We see religion, magick, and wisdom-in-living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it--a world view and philosophy of life, which we identify as Witchcraft or the Wiccan Way.
(Magick is everywhere and everyone does it. It shapes the way we look at the world.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwossk97y...

8. Calling oneself “Witch” does not make a Witch--but neither does heredity itself, or the collecting of titles, degrees, and initiations. A Witch seeks to control the forces within him/herself that make life possible in order to live wisely and well, without harm to others, and in harmony with Nature.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zgbrutbo...

9. We acknowledge that it in the affirmation and fulfillment of life, in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness, that gives meaning to the Universe we know, and to our personal role within it.

10. Our only animosity toward Christianity, or toward any other religion or philosophy-of-life, is to the extent its institutions have claimed to be “the one true right and only way” and have sought to deny freedom to others and to suppress other ways of religious practices and belief.
(We believe that all people come to their own religious path. To interfere and try to actively convert someone away is a deception of the soul.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qylfbcj3e...

11. As American Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the history of the Craft, the origins of various terms, the legitimacy of various aspects of different traditions. We are concerned with our present, and our future.
(Some people claim that Wicca is a very new religion, others say it is pre-Christian. This does not concern us as we see our beliefs as personal and not political.)

12. We do not accept the concept of “absolute evil,” nor do we worship any entity known as “Satan” or “the Devil” as defined by Christian Tradition. We do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor do we accept the concept that personal benefits can only be derived by denial to another.
(The Devil or Satan is purely a Christian and Muslim concept. Wiccans don't see our Gods as having a Good and Bad persona. They are Nature and nature is both)

13. We work within Nature for that which is contributory to our health and well-being.
(Wiccans have a strong desire to be environmentally conscious)
