Well, I used to be wiccan. I'm more of a pagan now, but I reached the level of 3rd degree high priestess when I was.. so, I'd be happy to help you.
Wiccans follow what is called an earth-based religion. They believe in the polarity of male and female in the god and goddess and that they are manifest through nature. Their calendar of celebrations is known as the Wheel of the Year, and follows the moon and the sun (full moon celebrations, equinoxes and solstices)
It's a very peaceful path and one of responsibility. Most Wiccans believe in the law of three which states that whatever you put out, returns to you three-fold, and the main law is that of " if it harms none, do what you will".
Feel free to contact me offlist if you'd like more information.

Tessa, enable me to reply the final query first. Yes, Wicca IS truly. Wicca is a Religion and as such, we deliver honor to BOTH a Goddess and a God (even though there are exceptions to that (Dianic Wicca, being one)). We additionally recognize the Divine as being occur within the Natural international round us, which type of offers non-Wiccans the affect that we worship Nature. It isn't Nature that we worship it's the Divine, and nature is best the conduit by way of which we achieve this. Wicca don't worship idols, we worship in entrance of statues (once more there are lots of exceptions to this as good (Green Witches come to brain)). Christians don't worship the pass, they worship what the pass represents, it's accurately that equal precept in Wicca. We behavior our ceremonies in the course of the entire moon (a few additionally the brand new moon), and 8 Sabbats that are unfold out over the yr (What many Wicca name the Wheel of the Year). These celebrations re-are living distinctive levels within the existence a long time of the Gods and Goddesses and are performed in commemoration of those Divine parties. The Wicca appreciate the life of well and evil as inherent is ALL matters, the whole lot and each person has the ability for BOTH (Even the Divine). Evil consequently, is an essential side of the whole lot and one are not able to have one with out the opposite. The key to that is steadiness, Wicca keep the suggestion of steadiness to be one of the crucial middle ideas of the universe and al which exists. So, to reply your first query, there may be NO being that's utterly well or utterly evil, best the cause of the person determines whether or not a factor or an movement is for well or evil. Therefore, as there may be NO being assigned the character of whole evil (ie, a satan) it's inconceivable for us to worship one of these being. NOw, as many member of Judeo-Christian-Islamic Faiths are so keen on declaring in unequivocal phrases, "if you don't worship the god of sunshine and love, then you're worshiping the satan". They fail to observe that in an effort to worship whatever or any one, then worship MUST be the cause. There isn't any such factor as unknowingly worshiping any one. We can NOT worship a suggestion which does NOT exist to us, consequently we do NOT worship the "Devil", because the "Devil" is NOT one of the crucial Divine being standards which exists inside the Faith procedure of Wicca. It is as functional and direct as that. Does this make experience to you? Brightest Blessings, Raji the Green Witch

Wicca is a "religion" started in 1954 by a retired postal clerk (the Messiah?...umm I think not). The point is to teach witchcraft to dummies. What does this tell you about the state of affairs? The US government now sanctions putting the Pentagram of Witchcraft on the grave stones of dead Wicca soldiers. Government sanctioned Satanism. Sweet now the Satanist don't even have to hide behind the Catholic Church.
Can you say "going to Hell in a hand basket"?
