Wicca

Wicca is a new-age religion. It is not just for teenagers. It can seem that way because of the teenage tendancy to explore new religions and ideas. Wiccans, people who follow Wicca, can worship as a solitary, or in a group called a coven. They believe in the God and the Goddess. Some Wiccans choose to see the divine as just these two or as Gods and Goddesses from various panthenons. The Wiccan temple is often just a temporary magick circle established through a ritual process. People often have an altar and other tools including an athame or perhaps a wand. The wand is not used for the "harry potter purpose" but to direct energy and in place of a wand, fingers and sticks work just as well. My wand, is actually a stick of wood that I carved with special care. Many people try to suggest that Wiccans are just following a book or telivsion shows. Actually many Wiccans dont wish to tolerate such "fluffy bunnies" that think that it is only a TV show. Wicca is a valid spiritual path that regards nature to be very special. Many Wiccans have a book of shadows that is a journal that you can use to record spells you have used, experiences with the divine, or other things that you feel affect you spirituality Some wiccans but not all, practice magick. You do not have to be Wicca if you practice magick. What makes you wiccan is that you worship the Goddess and the God, celebrate the eight sabats, regard the earth as a holy special thing, harm none (or at least try your best to) and to continue to learn and explore your spirituality your whole life through.
