Answer 1

Wicca is a very broad term. Wicca has many branches and beliefs.

Do a search in Wikipedia and learn about the ones that interests you and narrow it down.

There are as many gods as the stars.

Norse: Odin, Thor, Tyr, Freya, Frigga, etc
Anglo-Saxon: Wodan, Thundar, Wayland, etc
Greek: Artemis, Ares, Apollo, Zeus, Hera, etc

and countless others.

Answer 2

There are many gods. Wicca encompasses many different beliefs and practices. You can ask this question of twelve different wiccans and you will get twelve different answers, and all will be correct. There is one basic belief that holds true through all the different paths: An it harm none, do as ye will. Beyond that, you get more into specific paths. Some follow celtic traditions, some are greek in origin, some dianic. And none are wrong. that's just the way they believe. I'm sorry if this isn't helping. If you really want to learn about wicca, pick up nearly any book by Scott Cunningham. His books should give you a good basis to start from.

Answer 3

There are 4 kinds of wicans, the first being born into many generations of wicans and for each and each of the claims, those wicans stay to themselves, see no want to gloat, do no longer promote or promote issues, (there are approaches to carry close who, is whom) and characteristic little to do with the raving well-beloved wicans. Wican grew to change into "the priority to be", contained in the 70's nonetheless contained in the ninety's this is particularly the craze to change into wican in one day, maximum like it with the aid of "one regulation", "harm no one". the ten commandments come right down to the very similar problem. The wican faith is little diverse from some thing else of the community religions all over the area and not in any respect better nor a lot less particular. each and each one in accordance to and in nature. maximum have demi gods, or 1000's of spirits. like the declaring is going, "names replace, although the memories a similar one". Wicans were natives like another. although the biggest, false impression is that wicans were witches, no longer so. It change into suggested, that the wican change right into a distant cousins to the witch. regardless of the particular undeniable actuality that everybody who calls themselves a wican immediately, does also declare to be a witch. All one has to do is examine some books on both, (wiccan or witch) and your declare makes you one, plus you get the posh of turning it on and stale at will. this is extreemely unhappy, that money and/or the will for self magnitude, or maybe the yerning to be diverse, has to tresspass and basterdize, that which some carry maximum pricey. So the advice you get may decision a great deal depending with whom you talk. yet i doubt it is going to likely be from the first team. this is lived, to boot as practised, as with each faith, it will be considered, in a unmarried's daily habit, could one comprehend what to seek for.
