Thread: Wicca Anyone

Hello groogs Welcome to the forum! And a fellow Michigander as well? Anyway, I've sent you a PM.

Hello! Welcome to the forums. I studied Wicca a few years ago, and although I'm not Wiccan now, I know quite a bit about it. I also know some stuff about other Pagan type things. ^^ If you want to chat or anything, feel free to send me a PM.

I don't know much about wicca, but know a fair bit about pagan beliefs. (I use the word in inverted commas because the term 'pagan' is actually a derogatory and inaccurate term created by the early Catholic church)

Though I'm a complete atheist and skeptic about pretty much everything, I understand there ARE quite a few members on this site who follow wiccan beliefs and practices. From memory, an (VERY unfortunately Ex-) Global Mod of the forum, A Lost Soul, I believe was to some extent wiccan. Where has A Lost Soul gone, by the way? I miss her, she was such a fantastic young woman! )

A few other members as well I think. My adoptive mum and good friend on this forum, Gwendolyn, has a fair bit of knowledge about shamanistic type practices and beliefs, and though that's different from wicca, if you're interested, I'd suggest contacting her.

Haha, we all love Monty Python but I think now is neither the time nor the place

I've looked into it out of interest although I don't follow it myself.

what does it actually mean to be a Wiccan, though?

Wicca = A polytheistic Neo-Pagan nature religion inspired by various pre-Christian western European beliefs, whose central deity is a mother goddess and which includes the use of herbal magic and benign witchcraft.

Hahaha ooops.
Maybe she is a witch. Maybe I am a neut.

I think Wicca provides fundamental beliefs to the nature of spirituality, but unfortunately, is not thorough enough in it&#39;s faith.

I could be false, and just not know enough about it, but the avenue from which they take towards spirituality seems to me... outdated.

Just my two cents.

Hail the Sun&#33; (seriously )

i studied wicca a tiny bit, mostly for comparative reasons, although what i learned did help me a little.

well Wicca in my terms is a very old and repectable outlook on magick and what you should and should not do. i forget the name, but i think theres a list of a few guidelines wiccans have to abide by. futhermore, it seems more like a way of magick depending on interactions and relationships between people, and getting along with people. i think its also very serious, but has its fun rituals and ceremonies.

one of the misconceptions to non-magick people and non-metaphysics people in general is that wiccans cannot do "bad" magick against people, otherwise they would not be wiccans. that is, magick harming someone (physically or mentally) or manipulating someone&#39;s will.

basically yay for Wicca :yumdumdoodledum: , for keeping their magick clean and being fun people to be around.

hey fun other witches&#33; im wiccan too, a Nocturnal Witch, that is.. i study the good-dark of life. been at it for about two years now.. PM me if you like..

~R~

"doh" lol thats funny. Homer Simpson is a legend. How were you killed?

Anyway I&#39;ve done a little research on Wicca, it seems fairly new to me, not very complicated and very accepting of most things. It&#39;s much more believable than Christianity (to me) just due to the fact that it doesn&#39;t piss people off. Which is cool.

And yeah, I guess this would fit under the religion-spirituality section.

DOH&#33;

I am certainly surprised at the response that this post has gotten.
My wife says the same thing. Accepting and believable. Like anything, IMO, you can&#39;t believe everything you read.
But many would jump to the conclusion, as I did that it was a bunch of hokey poky. From what i have seen it is far from that. While some of It may be a little hard for me to swallow, much of it is very down to earth.

I guess it must have been the wicked witch of the east who began Wicca.

I am guessing Satan > and the wicked witch of the West, are too busy shagging.

we all can take a leason from that
