Who can tell me about Wicca in brief?
369669
Wicca is a duotheistic religon (the deities being the God and Goddess) created in the 1960's and *popularised by Gerald Gardener (a bit of a revival of witchcraft, but with a structured dogmatic twist). Wiccan's have equal affinity to the feminine aspects of deity as to the masculine. They also believe in the Wiccan Rede (in short: "An harm it none, do what thou wilt") and they believe in the three fold law, ie. if you do anything bad to someone else then it will come back on you three times over (more of a punishment than creating a balance- as in Karma). Many Wiccans practice witchcraft (magical workings) but not all, as Wicca is primarily a religious path.\n\nWiccans observe the Wheel of the year (Eight annual festivals) acknowledging the changing of the seasons. They also believe in the three phases of the Goddess (maiden, mother and crone).\n\nTo clarify, Wicca falls under the umbrella term of Paganism, which is a term used to encompass a broad spectrum of belief systems. Wicca is also seperate from Witchcraft as not all witches are wiccans, many are not religious at all.\n\nHope this helps.\n\n*edit for accuracy as prompted by the post below me (thanks).

All the above links are great ones, I just hope that you want to walk the Spiral Path because it calls to you and not because you think its cool or that you want to wear black and scare little kids/your parents by proclaiming that you are a witch.\n\nIf you are serious I'd get some books to study at home, as well as online.  Wicca--A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham is great starting point.

Here are the results of my research. I pray that YOU will read them carefully and consider your eternal destiny as instead of seeking temporal rewards through operating apart from the living God of Heaven who is your Creator.\n\n________________________--\n\n\nWicca Spells - What is Wicca?\nWhat is Wicca and what are Wicca spells? While it is rooted in ancient pagan beliefs, the Wicca religion, as it is practiced now, is only about 50-years-old. Wicca is a belief system cobbled together in the 1940's and 1950's by Gerald Gardner from a variety of religious traditions and beliefs as well as Freemason rituals. Since Gardner published several books espousing his system of worship, many offshoots and variations of Wicca have sprung up. \n\nThere is no particular agreement between Wiccans, or "wise ones" concerning what they believe and worship. Some worship the "Goddess," some worship the "God," and some worship both. Others worship nature. Some Wiccans say they embrace Christian doctrine, while others reject it. Most promoters of Wicca believe in reincarnation. \n\nOne thing most Wiccans agree on is the fact that Satan is not a part of their pantheon and they vehemently deny Satan-worship as one of their practices. This is because they disavow the notion of moral absolutes. There is no such thing as good or evil, because it is all relative. Wiccans have only one law that they bind themselves to, called "The Rede." It simply states, "Do what ye will, harm ye none." In other words: "Do what ever you want to as long as no one gets hurt." The Three-fold Law governs consequences, and is a law of returns that states, "All good that a person does to another returns three-fold in this life; harm is also returned three-fold." \n\nWicca Spells - Mind Control\nWhat about Wicca spells? Not all Wiccans practice witchcraft (which they call "magick" to set themselves apart from illusionists and magicians). Magick is to Wicca what prayer is to Christianity. Wiccans claim that the practice of magick is simply using their minds to control matter, while Christians call upon God to heal people and to intervene and work in their lives. Because the Rede forbids harming others and the Three-fold Law sets forth consequences for those who do, Wiccans view themselves as "white witches" or "nature witches." \n\nWicca is basically a religion that is about minding your own business and living peaceably with your neighbors and environment. Wiccans are eager to draw parallels between themselves and biblical Christianity for the sake of earning credibility, but what does the Bible have to say about this religion? You won't find the word "wicca" in the Bible, so let's evaluate the beliefs in light of what God says about them. \n\nWicca spells are idolism - Romans 1:25 says, "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things, rather than the Creator…" Who wants to settle for second best? In Isaiah 40, God paints a very cool picture of how much greater the Creator is than His creation. If you are worshipping anything besides the Creator, you are just spinning your wheels.\n\n\nWicca spells bring false hope - Hebrews 9:27 says, "…Man is destined to die once, after that, to face judgment." God says we get one chance at life, and that is it. There are no do-overs. If we don't accept God's gift of Jesus in our lifetime, He judges us as unwilling to be in His presence, and we are sent to Hell. \n\n\nWicca spells bring disillusionment - Mark 7:8 says, "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men". God is God, and we are not. We have a decision to make. Are we going to take God at His word and adopt His worldview, or not? Knowing God is hard work that takes a lot of discipline. Wicca is a religion that takes a pack of lies, ties it in

Wicca is a Neopagan religious movement found in many different countries, though most commonly in English-speaking cultures. Wicca was first publicised in 1954 after the repeal of the British Witchcraft Act, by a British civil servant named Gerald Gardner. He claimed that the religion, of which he was an initiate, was a modern survival of an old witch cult, which had existed in secret for hundreds of years, originating in the pre-Christian Paganism of Europe. Wicca is thus sometimes referred to as the Old Religion. The veracity of Gardner's claims is now much debated, and it is thought that much if not all of Wiccan theology was established no earlier than the 1920s. Since its founding, various related Wiccan traditions have evolved, or been adapted from, the form established by Gardner, which came to be called Gardnerian Wicca. These other traditions of Wicca each have specific beliefs, rituals, and practices. Most traditions of Wicca remain secretive and require members to be initiated, however there is a growing movement of Eclectic or Solitary Wiccans who adhere to the religion but do not believe a traditional initiation is necessary. Gardnerian Wicca is perhaps the most popular of the traditions excepting Solitary Wicca. you can find more information also in the address that i give you

Wicca although based on European Pagan beliefs in a goddess and her consort it is a modern recreation based on archeology and the few texts available.\n\nIn fact Silver RavenWolf stated about Wicca, “Wicca, as you practice the religion today, is a new religion, barely fifty years old.”  \n\nSince  there is very little reliable documents from the time the religion is probably very different from the roots that it claims to recreate.  Although wicca is a legitimate and fulfilling religion  it is quite new.\n\nUnfortunately, the problem you have with Christianity, I have with most covens that i have associated with.  The members are fake and trying to be something that they are not and that everything has to be done this way or that.  This is not a problem that is just with Christianity or Wicca  most organized religion has people that are fake and hide behind their religion and try to be someone they are not.\n\nI have given Christianity an honest try for most of my life and when Christianity did not work for me.  As much as I wanted to be Christian and gave myself over to god I could not reconcile life with what I was being taught.  I had several friends that were wiccan and decided to give that a try and found out that that was definitely not for me.

A simple questin, but one without a simple answer.\nWiccan's are also known as white witches. \nwicca is a peaceful nature worshipping religion. wiccan's belive in the God and Goddess and try and work in Harmony with both mankind and nature.\nThe only rule wiccan's live by is "And harm to none, do what ye will" which means as long as no one, including yourself, gets hurt in any way then you can do anything you like.\nWiccan's do not believe in the devil, nor any singular reprisentative for evil. to give evil a shape and a name is to give it power over you. wiccans belive there are negative forces out there as part of the laws of balance, for good to exist there must be evil. but they also belive that these forces can easily be repelled or perhaps ewven destroyed. because of this wiccan's also don't belive in hell, they belive that any wrong doing is paid for in the life you are already living and not the next one.\nwiccans also belive in the rule of three, better known as karma. if you do a good thing then good things will happen to you three times better, but if you do something bad then something three times worse will happen to you.\nThe God and Goddess, or Lord and Lady, are worshipped by the wiccan's, but so are also a great range of other spirits and angels. The Lord and Lady live within summerland, the afterlife where all souls go to when they pass away. in the summerland you can rest for as long as you like before returning to this universe and being reincarnated as anything you like. \nIf you were a wiccan in one life you will become a wiccan again in every human life you take.\nwiccan's also belive in Magic, a power that everyone has and wiccans train themselves how to use. by summoning up energies from the world around you and using your will in order to acheive your goals, provided those work within the wiccan's rule of not hutrting anyone. karma will work hard and swift if you try and hurt someone with a spell.\nnot all wiccan's practise magic, some merely worship nature and try and live up to the wiccan principal of "and harm to known do what thy will"\nBecause it doesn't have a solid set of rules or dogmatic scripture to follow, many don't take wicca seriously as a religion. it is true that wicca is a bit of a pick and mix religion. you follow the parts that you like and leave the bits you don't wiccan's always say that if you just follow the core rule of wicca "don't hurt anyone...etc" the it doesn't matter how deeply involved you are in the ceramonies and rituals of the religion.\nrespecting others belifs is a main thing, disrespecting others is a kind of hurting them. if a person chooses to worship Budda, or the christian God then that is their choice, everyone has free will for a reason. respect their decision and ask they they do the same for you.\nThe goddess is like a Mother, she loves you constantly, and understands that different people will love her in return in different ways. \nwiccan's don't preech or force their religion onto others, but their ways aren't secret, all you have to do is ask. \nwicca has a long a rich history and it is a facinating and complicated religion that can take a lifetime to learn about. but that also is the point of wicca, to continue to learn and grow as a person not only in one life but in all of them.\nThere are many books on the subject of wicca and i personaly read those written by a woman called Silver Ravenwolf. they are available online and at certain bookshops and alternative taste stores often referred to as Goth Shops.
