Wicca Options

[Rachel]

Thats whats so bad about it. Its like you reap what you sow but even worse.

No actually, it is trying to prevent you from doing selfish spells.

An example, my friend cast a spell to make her skinnier for a dance. She was for that night, but the next day the weight came back times 3. But only for a day.

Wicca is not about changing yourself or punishing others. It is very intune with nature and tries to keep a balance. Screwing with the balance just comes back to. It is karma, nothing more.

^ I have never witnessed this type of stuff in actual life. Sometimes Im skeptical if such things do exist.

Contrary to what most people wish to believe, Wicca is a very peaceful, harmonious and balanced way of thinking, an earth religion if you want. I believe it is the oldest religion, definitely pre-Christian, and we don't worship Satan or the devil because we don't believe in it. We believe that the earth is a mother to us all and we should honor and respect her and live a harmonious life. We don't own the earth but we are part of it and to destroy it means to destroy ourselves. We respect life above all. Respect for life and free thought I'd say are the basics for Wicca. We respect every other religion because we think all gods and goddesses are the same. People just worship them in a different way. Wicca is often mistakenly associated with evil, but we believe in Karma and if we do something bad it comes back to haunt us, as a godsmack! That's the basic creed, harm none. We don't sacrifice people and we don't sacrifice animals because we believe in harming no one. We also don't worship Satan; he is a Christian creation and they can keep him. Wicca doesn't work with fear. It's about your own consciousness and doing what's right. We believe in the Law of Three: whatever you do comes back three fold, good or bad. [sully erna-godsmack]

i sorta am..but i dont do spells or stuff :] this is from my myspace

^ I have always had that misconception about Wicca. I have always thought it was associated with very destructive type witchcraft.

Wiccan does sound very interesting to learn, but Im black, It would not look right for a brother like me to practice magick.

[HelloSunshine]

I'm drawn to it..lol I have two books of spells that I could use. It's awesome..one of these days I'm going to try it.

[c0m3_what_may]

i was for about a year, but then realized that i wanted to become catholic because i'm getting confirmed soon. it's actually really fun and cool, and some spells work.

[RaphieRyouga]

my friend is wiccan ill give u her xanga its xanga.com/whitewiccan/
oh and umm... what wiccan ive been studying on it and...ur a witch?!!!

[AngelTears]

I also "dabbled" in it.  It was really neat ... and some of the spells that I did worked also.  Infact, I think that I still have one or two of the books that I used.

I'm addicted to the TV show Charmed though.  It is all about Wicca and Witches, deamons, and angels.  What I wouldn't give to have some sort of REAL power over my life. 

I didnt try any spells but I think it does look really cool.

I wish I did too *sigh* allas I do not.

[Boyfriendless]

I always get pissed off when people relate wicca to traditional satanism.
I am a modern satanist btw, not wiccan, a witch, or traditional satanist.

The whole satan belonging to christanity is bs, no offence. I belive he was mentioned in jewish stuff and boviously in traditional/modern satanism....

[Gerifan04]

a wiccan is a person that uses magic just like a witch its just what they call them
my friend used to be a wiccan.... its funny cuz we always kind of teased each other and didnt like each other and she said she would put a spell on me but i did some research and it said under some wiccan law that u cant do anything to interfere with someones state

That's not all Wiccans are.

Wicca is a modern(yes modern, don't start with that ancient stuff, the 50s were a while back but not ancient!) pagan religion. It's focuse on a dual-diety and nature. There are different Wiccan groups however so anything after what I said before can differ greatly. There are Gardnerian, Dianic, Alexandrian and so many other types of wicca. Those are just some of the main ones. Oh and if you are a wiccan or considering it please please please read these following links. I'm not a Wiccan but I know tons of wiccans and these are my top picks for Wiccans and curious people.

Why Wiccans Suck
-I know, the name sounds harsh and this is a harsh site but its VERY good for wiccans and pagans alike. It takes fluffy bunnies misconceptions and throws them out the window...after beating them silly lol.

Wicca: For the rest of us.
-Another site to "de-fluffy" potential and current wiccans. Again though, this site can help with general or "eclectic" pagans as well. The information is presented a tad softer than the previous website but still good and sound information. You may want to read this site before checking out the one above it if you aren't sure you can handle its bluntness.

The Obsidian Mirror
-This site isn't as well known as the other two but has some great information. This one is pretty harsh too. It even comes with a little disclaimer at the begining. It doesn't just focus on witchcraft and wicca either. Its got lots of articles.

The Witches Way
-Now this is probably the softest and the most general of all the sites above. This site even has a great article on satanism I highly reccomend. Also the site-owner/operator is a very cool lady!

And finally...
Mystic Wicks
-My favourite pagan site. Its acctually a Pagan forum site. Its one of the largest pagan forum sites on the net. Its got thousands of members and tons of information. Also, this site(as of almost 2 years ago) now features member-run classes on varied subjects.

Anyways, I know you're probably wondering if I'm even wiccan. No, I'm not. When I first became interested in Paganism I called myself a wiccan. It was the first pagan path I was introduced to and I was like a sponge. But over time I really opened my eyes and explored my beliefs and myself. I now fit under the "Eclectic Pagan" belief. It might seem like I dislike wiccans or think many believe the wrong things. That's a "no" on both of those topics. I've just seen one to many "Wiccans" with their heads up their butts lol.

Sorry dear, Wicca isn't the oldest religion. The categorey it falls into, "Paganism" is quite ancient. But I don't even think it is the oldest religion on earth. Wicca I can safely say isn't. Wicca is based on some very old beliefs but the religion itself was created in the 1950's by Gerald Gardener. Not that it's a bad thing. All religions were new at one point.

[xscore]

no, it's against my religion. =(

but it would be so cool to do magic. no joke.

[*Zatanna*]

I've been a practicing Solitary Wiccan for many years.

Feel free to delete if someone has already done this, but: Wiki'd Wicca =)

Not the most extensive as far as research goes, but does well for the cliff notes version of what Wicca is about.

PS - It's not about SPELLS!!! I swear some folks here need to stop relying on shows like Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the movie "The Craft", etc for their information.

PSS - I think I spelled "cliff notes" wrong.

[Gerifan04]

no, it's against my religion. =(

but it would be so cool to do magic. no joke.

Magic is hardly anything like anyone is lead to believe. Its not anything like movies or television. No sparkly lights or clouds of smoke. Its rather simple in appearence and not for entertainment purposes. Not to imply that its really hard. Magic can be simple to use. But its just not something to do cause it might be "cool". Its hardly entertaning. Unless you need it for a specific purpose I really have never found it to be all that visually stimulating. Although some people do put on grand and high-energy rituals when using magic although many just do things quietly and simple like myself. Magic(if going by a generalized pagan belief) is basically focusing our own personal energy and the energy contained in the cosmos to help us achieve some goal. Weather its help on a test or money or anything else.

Um they don't exactly use "magic". They channel nature's "powers" and use their surroundings to make "miracles" happen. In the book Mists of Avalon, they called Wicca the Old Religion (I don't know why I brought that up).

[BannanaQ]

What's a wicca? Is that the one where a white person tries to be black?

[*Zatanna*]

^ Read the thread! I even posted the wikipedia entry for "Wicca."

[racoons > you]

What's a wicca? Is that the one where a white person tries to be black?

if you aren't joking, i will just cry.

[voguelove]

i never really believed it but thought it was so cool to do magic...if someone wants to give me a "spell," ill try it.

[Gerifan04]

if you aren't joking, i will just cry.

I think they were thinking of the term "wigga"

I've read up and in all my books, it is an OLD religion going back farther than the 50s. Gerald Gardner (yes, that's how you spell it) showed the world the religion, but he most definitely did not invent it.

Get your facts straight!

[*KCreateBlog*]

I can also cast the spells on my controller as well:
CURAGA THUNGDAGA BLIZZAGA FIRAGA FIRA
CURA BLIZZARA THUNDARA CURE THUNDER BLIZZARD FIRE
ULTIMA METEOR

I like this kid, he is a baller, yet people are hating on him in this thread.

Wiccan does sound very interesting to learn, but Im black, It would not look right for a brother like me to practice magick.

I feel ya brah.

[voguelove]

wow, the last time i posted in here was almost a year ago..

anyways.
i think the whole wiccan religion is fine. i'd like to "dab" in it myself if possible.

and im also addicted to charmed. ive got seasons 1-3 and if i watch too much of it..i start to believe that i have the power to move things or freeze things soo..i put my hands up thinking that it will work..and it doesnt.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

I used to be really into it from 2 - 6th grade. Then I started questioning religion in general, and now I don't have a religion. I just believe in God, but I don't restrict myself to guidlines and rules that everyone THINKS God wanted. I just know what's wrong, and what's right and that God will love me as long as I try to live my life as well as I can.
