The Goddess is within us and she manifests in all nature and creation.
The chosen few have a union with nature and recognize the divine that manifests throughout.
Our sacred temple is the Earth herself and when we lose touch with nature, we lose touch with the Goddess.
We embrace magic and believe magic is natural, not supernatural.
We also believe in reincarnation, divination, prayer and meditation.
The power of magic comes from the Goddess and is a sacred gift.
We have a strong belief in Karma and nothing comes without a price, good or bad.
We are accountable for our actions and the Devil does not make us do it.
We are free souls with the right to live our lives our way and are completely responsible.
The beauty of Wicca is it's simplicity in perfect love and perfect trust!!
Celtic Heritage
Wicca draws from the Old Traditions of Witchcraft.
But what is Witchcraft? Witchcraft is 'The Craft of the Wise'.
For wisdom is a powerful gift from the goddess, she who gave us all life, she who is the Great Mother, she who is Mother Nature!!
The Wiccan Witches
Contrary to what those who choose to persecute or lie about us wish to believe, Wicca is a very peaceful, harmonious and balanced way of life which promotes oneness with the divine and all which exist.
Wicca is a deep appreciation and awe in watching the sunrise or sunset, the forest in the light of a glowing moon, a meadow enchanted by the first light of day.
It is the morning dew on the petals of a beautiful flower, the gentle caress of a warm summer breeze upon your skin, or the warmth of the summer sun on your face.
Wicca is the fall of colourful autumn leaves and the softness of winter snow. It is light, and shadow and all that lies in between. It is the song of birds and other creatures of the wild.
It is being in the presence of Mother Earths nature and being humbled in reverence.
To be a Witch is to be a healer, a teacher, a seeker, a giver, and a protector of all things.
If this path is yours, may you walk it with honour, light and integrity as I do!
A Little History
Wicca is a belief system and way of life based upon the reconstruction of pre-Christian traditions originating in Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
While much of the information of how our ancestors lived, worshipped and believed has been lost due to the efforts of the medieval church to wipe our existence from history, we try to reconstruct those beliefs to the best of our ability with the information that is available.
Thanks to archaeological discoveries, we now have basis to believe that the origins of our belief system can be traced even further back to the Palaeolithic peoples who worshipped a Hunter God and a Fertility Goddess.
With the discovery of these cave paintings, estimated to be around 30,000 years old, depicting a man with the head of a stag and a pregnant woman standing in a circle with eleven other people, it can reasonably be assumed that Witchcraft is one of the oldest belief systems known in the world today.
This pre-dates Christianity by roughly 28,000 years making it a mere toddler in the spectrum of time as we know it!!
Understanding
Witchcraft in ancient history was known as "The Craft of the Wise" because most who followed the path were in tune with the forces of nature, had a knowledge of herbs and medicines, gave council and were valuable parts of the village and community as Shamanic healers and leaders.
They understood that mankind / womankind is not superior to nature, the earth and its creatures but instead we are simply one of the many parts, both seen and unseen that combine to make the whole.
"We do not own the earth, we are part of it".
These wise people understood that what we take or use, we must return in kind to maintain balance and equilibrium.
Clearly, modern man with all his applied learning and technology has forgotten this.
Subsequently, we currently face ecological disaster and eventual extinction because of our hunger for power and a few pieces of gold!!!
