1 WHETHER WICCA (OR WITCHCRAFT) IS SOMETHING ANYONE CAN BECOME INTERESTED IN OR PRACTISE
Posted Aug 30, 2001
The most basic answer to this is
'YES'.
If you have found out about Wicca,
and it feels right for you, then
it probably IS right for you.
Many people feel a sense of 'coming
home' when they start to investigate
this area further. By this, I mean
that you may read a book or article,
and just 'feel' that you already
'knew' what you had just read or
learned, and it was just a case
of bringing this hidden knowledge
to the surface.
Also, the more you learn, the more
you will want to find out more, because
it just feels so right.
Before I found Wicca, I didn't believe
in a 'God' that created everything,
but just felt there was more to
life than just the physical reality,
but I just didn't know what it was.
I find the dual deity (worshipping
both a Goddess and a God) is far
easier to accept than just accepting
a single male God.
This is further enhanced by the
way everything in life has an
opposite, e.g..light/dark, good/bad
male/female. You can not appreciate
light without dark, no more than
you can appreciate good without bad.
This concept is illustrated by Yin-Yang.
In summary, I advise anyone who is
interested in following this path
to find out as much as they can, and
then go by their gut feeling...if it
feels right, it IS right.

WICCA - A VERY BASIC INTRODUCTION
Posted Aug 30, 2001
Fistly, I shall give a brief decsription
of what Wicca is.
Wicca is an Earth based religion,
which is a branch of Paganism.
Paganism is a Pre-Christian religion,
which recognises both female and
male deities.
Witches can be grouped into two basic
types..those who practise as part
of a group (or coven) are called
Wiccans, and those who work alone
are Solitary or Hedgewitches.
Contrary to what many people believe,
Witches do not worship the Devil.
The Devil is a Christian concept
and many witches do not even believe
in the Devil, let alone worship him!
The main 'law' of Witchcraft is called
The Wiccan Rede, which says
'AN IT HARM NONE, DO WHAT THOU WILL'
This basically means that a Witch
should never harm another living being.
This is further emphasised by the
'TRIPLE FOLD RETURN', which states
that whatever action you take,
whether good or bad, will be returned
to you three times the original
power.

Wicca - Is It Right For You?
Posted Aug 30, 2001
As you may know, I am a LeisureDistrict
escapee, and also a practising witch, hence the name!
In the past few days, I have been asked
questions as to:
1 WHETHER WICCA (OR WITCHCRAFT) IS
SOMETHING ANYONE CAN BECOME
INTERESTED IN OR PRACTISE
2 HOW TO TELL IF WICCA IS RIGHT
FOR YOU
3 HOW TO GO ABOUT FINDING MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT IT
Firstly, I must point out that I have
been learning about and practising
Wicca for nearly a year, but I have
found my opinions are identical to those
who have been practising for years.
