Synopsis

Wicca is an Old English word literally translating to 'witch.' Wicca is the preferred title used instead of 'witch' because of past negative or false connotations. Wicca is full of metaphors which can co-exist with your current religious or scientific outlook. Because much of Wiccan tradition revolves around Goddess imagery, it has often been considered a woman's religion. It is not. It is a means of understanding the mysteries of life from a viewpoint which embraces both the feminine and masculine energies of the world. You may already think like a Wiccan and not even know it. Wicca, also known as Witchcraft, is a form of Paganism and one of the oldest religions in the world. The benevolent nature-oriented practices of Wicca date back many thousands of years. The word pagan comes from the Latin 'paganus' literally meaning 'peasants.' Paganism was simply the 'religion of the people'. Pagan practices center around honoring the earth and celebrating the change of the seasons. It respects the duality of nature by worshipping both a God and Goddess. The many God and Goddess images are not thought of so much as separate entities, but of varying aspects of the Divine, just as there is God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in 'monotheistic' Christianity. Much of the symbolism revolves around the elements of existence: Earth, Air Fire Water and Spirit.Wicca can transform your life by integrating essential, rural-rooted wisdom into your modern, urban lifestyle. So don't be afraid... add a little magic in your life!
