One of the first things I learnt about Wicca, was what it is and what it isn't.
It has nothing to do with the devil or satiates. The devil is a Christian creation and has nothing to do with wicca. I also learned that there is the horned god that was stolen from paganism and misrepresented.
Wicca is a spiritual path you will never stop learning (like in life generally). Wicca is adaptabe to suite you.
Some wiccans/witches have more than one goddess and god that they work with and give thanks to. the goddess is the point of focus and the god is her co-creator.
Wiccans respect the earth and need to have balance both physically and spiritually.
I have been studding wicca for a while now and i still feel a bit unsure when joining in on rituals.
My thoughts on death and the afterlife
- That you have had more than one live.
- That between life’s you go to the Summerland (heaven)
- Their is good and bad spirits all around us.
- We all have spirit guides (beings that help us through life)
