BELIEFS AND CUSTOMS OF WICCA

Not all Wiccans see all these points, but generally
They are representative.

1. The divine Spirit is present in all creatures and things:
    people, animals, plants, stones ...

2. The maximum creativity is manifested in female force and
    male modes and so is often symbolized as the Goddess
    and the God.

3. In some covens, both are celebrated equally. In others,
    Goddess is celebrated without reference to God.

4. All Gods and Goddesses are aspects of the Goddess and the God.
    The most popular aspects of Wicca is the Triple Goddess of
    Moon (Maiden, Mother and Crone) and the Horned God of death and
    rebirth.

5. reincarnation and karma are valid concepts. After death
    we go to a state of rest and reflection, and eventually choose
    where and when we will be reborn.

6. Magic is practiced for positive (helping) the purposes: spiritual
    development, healing, guidance, safety, etc.

7. The rituals are usually held outdoors whenever possible, in
    Full Moons, and eight festivals that mark the sabaths.

8. Magic and celebrations are held in small groups, usually
    called covens. These are basically autonomous - not
    It is the central authority of the church or hierarchy.

9. There is no holy book, or prophet, has no equivalent of the Bible,
    Jesus or Mohammed. Individuals have access to the divine,
    They do not require an intermediary. All started, lonely or not, is regarded as a priest / priestess of the Goddess.

10. Ethics is central "to do what you desire, provided they do not harm anyone."
    Whatever energy you send out returns threefold, so it is wise
    be kind to others.

11. We must live in harmony with the earth and nature, not
    explore them.

12. Although Wicca is a valid spiritual path is not the only one.
    There is no recruitment, and people should be free and choose the path
    that best fits your needs.

13. The concepts of original sin, sacrifice, redemption, confession,
    divinity of Jesus, sex sin, Last Judgement, Heaven and Hell,
    denigrate women, bodily resurrection, and the Bible as divine,
    not part of Wicca. Nor worship Satan, Mass
    black, desecration of cemeteries, animal sacrifice, etc.
