Current Moon Phase

Wicca, the religion of the "Witches", has long been shrouded in secrecy. Anyone interested in learning "the Craft" had to content themselves with hints from books and articles. The Wiccans wouldn't say much, except that they weren't looking for new members.

Growing numbers today are dissatisfied with traditional religious structures. Many are searching for a personally-involving religion, one which celebrates both physical and spiritual realities, in which attunement with deity is coupled with the practice of magic.

Wicca is just such a religion, centering around reverence for nature as seen in the Goddess and God. Its spiritual roots in antiquity, acceptance of magic and mysterious nature have made it particularly appealing. Until recently, the lack of public information concerning Wicca and its apparent exclusivity has caused much frustration among interested students.

Wicca doesn't seek new members. This has been a major stumbling block to those wishing to learn its rites and ways of magic. Wicca doesn't solicit because, unlike most Western religions, it doesn't claim to be the one true way to Deity.

Our religion is not a series of precepts or beliefs, we believe that we each have within ourselves the capacity to reach out and experience the feeling of oneness with all life.

Wiccans Do Not in any way worship or believe in "Satan", the Devil , or any similar entities. Satan is a figure in Judeo-Christian beliefs. We are not Christians or Satanists and do not accept their theology or worldview, so we would no more worship Satan than, for instance Christians would worship the Aztec God of Quetzalcoah, he simply has no place in our beliefs.

Wicca is a joyous religion springing from our kinship with nature. We honor the Goddess of the moon and earth, and the God of the sun and animal life, as Visualizations of Nature. It is a personal, positive celebration of life.

(Portions taken from Wicca: A guide for the solitary practitioner and COGWEB)

1. Magic is natural.
2. Harm none---not even yourself---through its use.
3. Magic requires effort. You will receive what you put into it.
4. Magic is not usually instantaneous. Spells require time to be effective.
5. Magic should not be performed for pay.
6. Magic should never be used in jest or to inflate your ego.
7. Magic can be worked for your own gain, but only if it harms none.
8. Magic is a divine act.
9. Magic can be used for defense but should never be used for attack.
10. Magic is knowledge---not only of its way and laws, but also of its effectiveness. Do not believe that magic works--Know it!
11. Magic is love. All magic should be performed out of love. The moment anger or hatred tinges your magic you have crossed the border into a dangerous world, one that will ultimately consume you.
