Wicca, what is it truly about.

I'm curious. I'd like to know what Wicca is more about. I read that Wiccans are all about the good. And how they harm none.

It sounds very fascinating and I hope someone can explain more about it to me. And the difference with pagans?

I have heard of some wiccans that incorporated Christianity into their beliefs to a certain degree. The main thing is the belief of two god elements instead of one, feminine as well as masculine. Its a very loose religion that allows you to really best form it around your own beliefs however there are certain elements of both that could make them hard to combine.

You can find a plethora of information online as well as a selection of wicca books in most large bookstores such as Booksamillion or Barnes and Nobles.

wicca is actually a subset of paganism, much like catholicism (i picked catholicism simply because it's the first one that came to mind) is a subset of christianity. it is earth-based and does focus on doing good works. there are also types of wicca, like there are types of catholicism. if you want an overview of paganism in general i can probably find you a list of pagan religions. for now i will just stick to the basics of wicca.

here are some sites you might find helpful. keep in mind that not everyone's description and idea of wicca is the same, just like not everyone's description of catholicism is the same.

- That says it all...while reasearching, if you come accross any negitive or hurtfull words, that is not Wicca. Harm none is what we preach...

I know very little about wicca,however i do know someone who does practice this.

It seems that it's all about worshiping nature...things around them.

I have never heard them associate christianity with their believes, having known them for many years.

One of their favourite phrazes is....what goes around comes around.

My own feeling is that they remind me very much of pagans...festivals etc.

Whilst i know they are supposed to profess good nature and so on, i do know that these people have done some very unkind revengeful acts, not to mention illegal.

Having said this i know there is good and bad in everyone no matter what their beliefs are, as FR Chuck said, you can call yourself what ever you wish.

I have read and done a lot of research on Wicca/ Paganism. Like most people on here have said it is a nature based religion and I want to add that a true Pagan or Wiccan lives by do as ye will but harm none. They will never force you to do any thing you dont want to do, they do not belive in the devil or in satin, they do not belive in harming them selves or any living thing around them. Infact there are a lot that are strict vegans, also if you are drawn to this religion it is most certin that you explore this religion even if you choose not to practice it will give you a wonderfull knowledge. They also dont judge others. Each to there own. Blessed be,
