Does Wicca have a book like Christians/Jews have the bible?

There is not one singular text that Wicca goes off of like the Bible or the Torah.  But there are many books that give accurate descriptions.  \n\nWE are based on oral traditions and being that Witchcraft was only  made legal about 55 years ago, all texts before then would likely to have been burned.   \n\nWicca is a mystery religion.  That is to say, that not all Wiccans have the same idea about Creation, Death, etc.  HEre is what we do agree on.

Yes there are witches and wizards,only these days they call them Wiccans.These are people who use a specific form of witchcraft, with particular ritual forms, involving the casting of spells, herbalism, divination and other forms of magic. Wiccan ethics require that magical activities are limited to good purposes only.

I think the bible is a book. Printed on paper made by men, with ink made by men, and full of fables and folklore written by men for the purposes of men. \n\nMany Christians hold to that book as though it is their "idol". They believe it so blindly that even if God itself were to come down and tell them that even ONE verse in it was wrong they would side with the "idol/bible" over God itself.

The 3 major religions of the world (Islam, Jewish, Christianity) all follow a specific book. Many others have their 'holy' and/or spiritual literature to follow.  Any spiritually focused book could be considered 'holy' in one context or another.

No the Bible is not magic...\nIt is a historical, prophetic, personal diaries, it has poems, love stories, letters, action adventure.\nSo the 66 books are for us to read about how our creator\nsees things, and how he deals with them or will deal with them soon to come.\nNot magic my dear.....

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

No but some christians do have the bible so far up there ass that they can see anything else. I am a christian but I do not believe in pushing my beliefs on someone else or got all irate about how someone else believes or acts. I am only responsible for myself and can only make decisions for myself.

Well the Gideons aren't Catholic... is that what you are asking?\nThe Catholic and the Protestant bibles aren't exactly the same and the Gideons hand out those little: New Testament * Psalms and Proverbs (this is an excerpt from your bible, if you will) \n\nBut there is nothing in them that is not in your Catholic bible. Really, whoever you are you should be thinking for yourself! Read what you will and evaluate what you read, USING YOUR OWN BRAIN! Talk to your parents or your priest if you are confused by something. Exlpore life and think, think, think!

Is that where they stuck it?\n\nI was like "What the..." where is my religion if it is not in here... \n\nI have found some in other, but still.\n\nI hate it when people, just cause it is not their religion, shove others religion into myth, fantasy, or just say it is evil. \n\nWhile there is mythology also known as stories of the gods, goddesses, and heroes; involved in Wicca and other religions. If you are going to put Wicca there, you might as well put Christianity there too cause with my definition of mythology "The bible" is christian mythology.\n\nAs a fellow pagan (with some Wicca leanings), hail and blessed be.\n\nPS.

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.

While Wicca is a religion that frequently makes use of witchcraft and magick, the religion is not primarily about it.  Therefore, most Wiccan sites - and especially Traditionalist ones - do not contain any spell information.

I take it you don't even have a Gideon's Bible [KJV] handy... \n\nWell, there are over sixty books in it and they were authored by over four dozen people [prophets, messengers, disciples, scribes, etc.]. \n\nOkay, here are a few Books found in the Old Testament: Genesis; Exodus; Numbers; Leviticus; Deuteronomy; Joshua; Samuel; Job; Psalms; Isaiah; Daniel; etc...\n\nPeace be with you!

Ironically, the bible.\n\nThe entire text of the bible is freely available at the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses, and a personal printed copy can be requested at no charge:\nhttp://watchtower.org/bible/\nhttps://watch002.securesites.net/contact/submit.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/how_to_contact_us.htm\n\n\nJehovah's Witnesses are happy to study the bible with an interested person using any translation the householder may prefer, and in fact Jehovah's Witnesses themselves distribute several translations. Jehovah's Witnesses attach no particular infallibility or inspiration to any one translation.\n\nIt is sad when argumentative persons distract from the bible's clear message of Kingdom "good news".\n\n(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.\n\nIt seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:\n\n(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/pr/article_04.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/na/\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/20020915/article_01.htm\nhttp://www.watchtower.org/e/20050715/article_02.htm

Yes it does. Let's not forget that Jews, Christians and Muslims are all people of the Book, and share a common bond.

Wicca is a religion, just like Baptist or Catholic except those are Christian and Wicca is Pagan.  You know if you are Wiccan if you say, "Hey, I think I'll be Wiccan now." and you go out and buy a few Buckland books and charge yourself to the Goddess while standing nekkid in your bedroom.  \n\nIn other words, you DECIDE to be Wiccan, the same as Christians have to decide to be Christian.  Its not something you are born with, like magical powers or anything moronic like that.  \n\nGo read a book.\n\nIf you have dreams that come true it just means you have psychic leanings, which millions of people do.  It makes you "a psychic" not "a wicca".  There is no such thing as a person being "a wicca".  You're not born "a witch", either, it takes alot of hard work.\n\nGo to www.witchvox.com to get a grip on the reality of neo-pagan religion and magical phenomena.

Because Christians are discussing the truth and the word of God,and Wicca is a false religion.
