I have heard of many belief systems, Christian, Eastern etc but except for here on EP I've never heard of Wiccan. Would someone please inform me. I want to know for my own knowledge, I'm not here to condemn or crititize. Thank you.

Wiccan is a new version of old pegan beliefs. Pagan simply means old religions not nessisarily witchcraft. Most of the pre-christian religions were based on magic and the worship of many gods (Egyptian, Greek, etc.). Wiccan is a fairly recently religion but is mostly based on Druid or ancient Celtic beliefs.

The basic beliefs are that you can infulence your future with the help of magic. But everything you do or magic cast out will come back by 3. Therefore if you do negative things it will come back to get you. There are many gods and godesses but the main one is the Godess. She is three entities in one the maiden, the mother, and the hag. She is represented by the moon, and the three stages of it. Also the seasons.

Contrary to Christain propoganda in the middle ages, witchcraft as these type of religions became called DO NOT worship the devil. The gods and godesses of the religion are both good and bad. One of the main beliefs of the religion is that there must always be a balance in life good and bad, male and female, etc.

The main motto is: Do as thou wilt as long as it harms none.

It's the "modern" version of witchcraft that was started by somebody that I forget because I don't check out that **** anymore. Whatever works for other people is fine, just not for me. The original witchcraft and wicca are different.

A modern form of witchcraft that incorporates pagan beliefs from a wide variety of sources, although most follow Celtic traditions, as that is what it is based on. Ancient Egyptian, Norse, Native American amongst other pre Christian religions are referenced. All Wiccans revere Nature and that is the core of the religion. Spirituality is very individualistic to witches so it's hard to answer that question succintly. One Wiccan may worship one goddess/god, another may be polytheistic, and yet another may not believe in deity at all.

99% of most Wiccan and Drudical knowledge and customs have been lost. 99% of what passes for that stuff today is made up and or derived by guess work and make believe. I studied the thing a few years back, but I ended up hitting a brick wall regarding any real knowledge. Oh course there's an industry surrounding it these days, money to be made in writing books and making crystals. No more real then the Rapture Christians natter on about.
