I was Wiccan long before the pilot episode for this series aired.  I think this will always be my favorite show (I own every season that's come out of DVD so far).  But, really, very little of what's used in the show are facts about Wicca.  They may use some of the same words, but in different ways.  The show's pure entertainment and nothing like what witchcraft really is.

Yeah... have a nice wedding/ gathering outside in a nice park or something like that.  Make it nice and casual but still nice, walk barefoot down the aisle, and ahev a whimsical ceremony.  I am sure that you could ask the person who will be marrying you to do so at this location.

A good theme in my mind is of "Renewal/Rebirth" I am not talking in the sense of the church but in the sense of you.  I would go for some flowers that are not completely bloomed yet, but almost there.  I would also use a lot of soft pastel colors, but make sure that you focus on the ones that remind you two the most of your original wedding colors.\n\nFor after wards, if you are outdoors type people i would go camping under the stars.  If you are more to indoors, I would try to find a nice spa that does couples sessions where you two can get a nice message or mud bath together.

the wiccan rede cites all for all not just one god, so if you are open enough to your self you will begin the journey of yourself and your belief in ALL things bigger than self.i implore you to study your needs and follow the pathe of light because without it there can be no dark, the Lourde&Ladye will wrap you in the light of the sun and bring you full circle to a long and blessed journey. to be wiccan is to follow your heart, and to understand that the creator what ever she is, finds endearment for those that move in unison with the green world she has entrusted us to. please go to www.witchtopia.com to, and above all never be drawn in to believeing in anything less than belief

It's odd because i am always helping people understand wicca by explaining that spell casting is essentially the same process as prayer.  Different words for the same spiritual process imho.  But words are the only way we have to communicate here so we have to talk about what they mean and come to some agreement.  But it's not productive to argue over what words mean too much.  Better to try to really UNDERSTAND others.

Choosing someone of your faith certainly makes a better match in the long run, especially in our faith (I am Wiccan myself).  It's very hard to maintain a relationship with someone who is always secretly thinking your going to hell, even if they keep it to themselves.  Plus it makes it harder to celebrate the holidays, especiallly if your coven considers their celebrations exclusively for believers.

I know you're asking about Wicca, but ADF has a couple of mottoes that apply here: \n\n"Why not excellence?"\n\nWhen you're in such a hurry to ask a question that you can't take the time to place it in the proper category, then you aren't focused on excellence.  You shouldn't be concerned about learning Wicca in "the fastest way", rather you should be concerned with learning it in the most excellent way.\n\n"As fast as a speeding oak tree"\n\nIt takes decades for the tiny acorn to grow into the mightiest and kingliest of trees.  You can't rush excellence; attempting to do so will warp, mutate, or even kill the nascent potential.\n\nSo you, my little acorn friend, should be patient.  The arts magickal are not a race.  \n\nHere are some recommendations to get you started:\n\nBooks:\n"Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton\n"Drawing Down the Moon" by Margot Adler\n"A Witches' Bible Compleat" by Janet and Stewart Farrar\n"Witchcraft for Tomorrow" by Doreen Valiente\n"Spiral Dance" by Starhawk\n\nWebsites:\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/amberandjet/\nhttp://www.witchvox.com/_x.html?c=basics\nhttp://www.witchvox.com/_x.html?c=trads\nhttp://wicca.timerift.net/index.html\nhttp://mothersmagic.net/\nhttp://sacred-texts.com/\n\nAnd please, for the love of Mike, stay the Hel away from Buckland, Ravenwolf, and McCoy will you?  More experienced practioners see them as laughing stocks.

At noon, one of my closest friends is getting married!  She is a sun-lover, so it'll be an appropriate day for her.\n\nAny other ritual/celebration depends on my significant other... if she's up for a ritual, we'll have one (indoors, unfortunately... no "comfortable" area outdoors for us to do anything "formal")... otherwise, I will just do a little meditation in my room before bed and most likely read aloud the Summer Solstice passages from DJConway's Celtic Magic.\n\nBright Blessings!

Marriage is also a ritual of religion or faith or way of life

If this is something that you do with your mom & grandma, you maybe confusing wicca with a family tradition of witchcraft which may or may not ahve a whole lot to do with wicca Family traditions are passed down through blood lineage where as Wicca is passed on through initiatory lineage so all of the information i have laid out may not help but since you did specify Wicca here it is... \n\nWicca is a new age initiatory mystery religion created by Gerald Gardner in the late 1940's In it's purest form it is an amalgam of Irish & British folklore & mythos combined with Masonic & Golden dawn style ritual & ceremonial magic... wiccans celebrate 8 sabbats & the lunar rituals also known as Esbats and many Wiccans perfom magic and rituals on 26 lunar occasions (both the full and the new moons) but not all covens have that kind of time to dedicate to thier craft. Wicca requires an initiation (at least traditional Wicca does) to become an inititate of Wicca you need to work with the group for at least a year & a day, some groups require the year and a day study before the pre initiation ceremony or "dedication" ritual and another year & a day study to be considered for initiaton into the first degree. There are 3 degrees of elevation after the first... there is the 2nd & 3rd and the "sublime" or "elder" status..if you are truly intersested in Wicca as a religion please find a vetted group of tradtional Wiccans to learn the real thing, not some watered down version of DIY ecclectic wicca that is available at your local bookstore... don't get me wrong there is alot that can be gleaned from books, and some books are better than others, but there is ALOT of misinformation out there. It is important to find a trust-worthy mentor to help guide you to the "good books" Meet with as many local groups as you can, try to find a good fit for you, attend as many meet & greets, pagan coffee's 'wicnics', open circles & rituals as you can; to get a feel for what Wiccans do. You may find that Wicca is not for you, but another branch of paganism better suits you. Wicca is an experiental religion, you have to be there to feel the energy raising, to deeply meditiate, to commune with the Lord & Lady. It is difficult to describe, but the experience is invigorating. Although many Wiccans do have a high respect for nature & the earth, it is not the primary focus of the religion, the primary focus is on achiveing balance in yourself, the balance created by the god & goddess, the balance between the shadow self and the illuminated self. "Do as thou will as long as you harm none" is the Wiccan ethical ideal... it is the final line a poem entitled "The Wiccan Rede"... there is some debate on the origin of the poem, either it was written by by Doreen Valiente in the 1960's or Lady Gwynne Thompson in the 1920's it is the ideal, but not a law, rule, or tenent of faith... it is a goal to strive for, a sound piece of advice, but if it were the absolute law Wiccans would be frozen in place, unable to walk for fear of stepping on a bug, unable to eat for fear of harming a plant or animal... If we take it out of mundane context and use it in magical context only...it is still lacking, spells have a ripple effect... even if the original spell was not intended for harm, the ripple effect may have an unintended negative impact on someone, or something... If you are interested in learning the laws or rules of Wicca research the Ardanes ( the last link) if you would like to see the principles of Wiccan beliefs see the second last link. Wiccans do practice magic, and they do cast spells, and they do celebrate the Wheel of the Year... they also have normal lives just like anyone else... I still have to clean my house, get my kids off to school in the morning, cook meals, all in the normal fashion... but I do like to add a little magic to my mundane routine... so I place a little seasalt i

Here is how I feel..\n\nHelp for Non-Wiccans \nThat someone you love should decide one day to be a Witch may be the last thing you ever expected. What could be more alien, more controversial, more overwhelming? \n\nYour loved one is probably exploring Wicca, a modern Pagan (Neo-Pagan) movement. Throw out all the stereotypes and the Hollywood hype you've seen or heard about Witchcraft. Wicca (like other modern Pagan religions) is actually a gentle, life-affirming, positive path. It is a religion and a way of life that connects on a very deep level with Nature and the Earth's cycles. Wicca is very individualized. Its followers do not answer to any all-powerful leader; nor are they cut off from family or friends. Wicca is not a proselytizing religion. For some, it just happens to be the religion that makes the most sense. \n\nHow should you respond to someone interested in Wicca? Try to understand that there are many positive spiritual paths from which to choose. Mainstream religion is not for everyone; give your loved one the freedom to choose for him/herself. If your under-age child takes an interest in Wicca, you have the right to insist that he/she stay away from it. But if Wicca is forbidden territory, your child may seek the information subversively; wouldn't it be better to permit overt exploration so that your child may seek information with your guidance? \n\nOccasionally you may hear the terms "white witch", "black witch", implying that there are good or bad versions of the path. This is actually a fallacy. Wiccans follow what's known as The Wiccan Rede, which states, "If it harm none, do what you will." This means one may live life as one sees fit so long as one does no intentional harm. (This includes casting negative spells and doing magic to manipulate others.) Wiccans by definition do not practice any form of negative magic. Those who do are not deserving of the title, "Witch". \n\nNo one can speak for others who claim to be Wiccan, and it is possible that there are some alleged Wiccans who are unethical. Keep in mind that in all walks of life, from every cultural, philosophical and religious background there are those who do not live up to the high standards of their community. The best thing to do is to encourage new Wiccans to be discriminatory, to use good judgement and common sense in their spiritual pursuits. \n\nFor more basic information about this path please see the other sections of this page including, "What is Wicca?" \n\nQuestions?
