Wicca

Wicca

Wicca is a religion that was first made public in 1954 with the publication of a book by Gerald Gardiner. Wicca is founded on ancient pagan beliefs, particularly Celtic and Druid, and incorporates elements of other earth religions. Wicca is widely misunderstood, so here are a few facts about what Wicca is and is not.

Wicca is actually a collective term for many different kinds of neopagan religions. One thing they all have in common is a tolerance for individual differences; a core tenet states, "if it harms no one, do what you will."

Many, though not all, Wiccans practice earth magic, or spells. This has led to a common mistaken belief that Wiccans worship Satan. Satan is a construct of Christian religions, and does not even exist for followers of Wicca.

The use of magic for any harmful purpose is expressly forbidden. Many Wiccans believe that whatever you send into the world will return to you threefold, so clearly it isn't a good idea to send anything negative. It is also forbidden to create a spell for a person without that person's consent.


Wicca practitioners traditionally celebrate eight seasonal holidays, tied to the death and rebirth cycle of the sun and moon. There are both male and female Wiccans, and they may join in a community called a coven or practice their beliefs in solitude.

Many Wicca rituals celebrate the Great Goddess, often paired with Cernunu, the Hunter God. Their reverence for the earth and belief in gender equality are very much in tune with other New Age movements.
