I will try to give you an overview.
Basically, wiccan believe in the powers of nature and the Goddess. Short motto: "An ye harm none, do what you will" The original is much larger and I don't have it here at work, but can post it when I get home if you want. We can call upon the energy in nature to affect a cause (i.e. - cast spells of a sort). Kind of like prayer with a "power boost" IMO. We believe the moon has it's own powers, too. It's a very nature oriented belief system. And, if you ever cast to harm someone, it comes back on you threefold. Woe unto you. I'm having a hard time getting it all down in a nice neat package at the moment. I'm still very shaken by all that's happened today. Let me post when I get home, if you are still interested. ------------------ "Allright! We'll call it a draw." "I'm INVINCIBLE! ... You're a LOONEY!" Dare to dream. Be bold enough to try. The day we stop learning is the day we start dying!(c) |
Isn't it EVERYTHING that you do which you get back three-fold? Both spells and other things you do? At least, that's the impression that I have.

Ther are a lot of things to tell, Blade. Essentially, Wicca is a belief system based upon a pantheon of deities and has many interpretations. It is both ancient and modern, as it was suppressed for a long while and is now enjoying a renaissance. Keying Wicca into a search engine will provide you with a load of sites. Other Wiccans on Ironworks may be more enlightening, I find myself unable to think very clearly today...

There are several comprehensive books found in the "new age" section of any bookstore. I recommend "The Power Of the Witch" by Laurie Cabot as one among many.

"Bide the Wiccan Rede ye must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust, Eight words doth the Rede fulfill, 'An it harm none, do what ye will." I have Wiccan friends; they follow this as a normal matter of course. ------------------ http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif |
