it is a combination of witchcraft and naturalism, it helps people to feel good about them , but all forms of witchcraft are bad there witches who think they are one with nature and stuff, honestly though the bible calls all forms of witchcraft and sorcery sin.

It's both Witchy and Natural. Wicca is a Nature based Neo Pagan religion. But we believe Natural Magick exists. Check out my videos on Wicca for more information.

It don't understand what you mean by witchy or more natural.

Look it up. Gerald Gardner created it in the 1940's. Nature based. Primarily Celtic mythology. Many offshoots. Mystery religion, at least for Gardnerian Wicca. (And Alexandrian.)

Why is your family "all becoming wiccens [sic]" (I would presume that means you, too) when you don't even know what it is? Do they? And why do you need to ask here, instead of asking your family?

It's a very earth based religion that focused on the God and the Goddess. They believe the divine is in everything and everyone around them. They are a tradition in Paganism. Some practice magic, forms of ritual prayer, and some don't. They celebrate the Sabbaths of nature ie the Solstice's and Equinox's.
Read about it!

It is an earth based religion. After that it is open to what floats your boat. Basically most wiccans believe that the divine has at least two aspects, male and female. The Goddess and God are not in some heaven unattainable but in us, around us, and always with us. Go to Witchvox.com and there is a lot of information there. We are NOT satanic we do not believe in satan nor give him power.

Wicca
NOUN: 1. A polytheistic Neo-Pagan nature religion inspired by various pre-Christian western European beliefs, whose central deity is a mother goddess and which includes the use of herbal magic and benign witchcraft.

I would suggest not converting to any religion if you have no idea what it's about. That shows you have no actual faith in it, and are just converting to be "trendy" or whatever.
I know Wiccans and they are always offended by people treating their religion like some hobby you can pick up or dump aside whenever you want. You all need to do extensive research first.

natural, yes. it's about invoking the powers of nature to do you good-bidding. mother-goddess worship, elemental influences, "white" magic. it has many rituals to do with the solstices and equinoxes. use you powers only for good, annthing done for malicious intents will come back 7-fold.
