An introduction to the Wiccan Path

Dear reader,

To begin your journey into Wicca, you must be fully aware of what this path contains. I will also like to take the opportunity to welcome you to my blog, which is dedicated to the art of Wicca and all its practices.

I will be posting about specific rituals, Sabbats, spell-making, candle divination, tarot reading and much more. So please read my blog often for the latest posts.

Now, Wicca is a nature based religion, it has a God, Goddess and a system of magic. The followers of this religion are called Witches, they are magic makers, healers and worshippers of the God and Goddess.
In Wicca, the divine is both male and female, equal and opposite to each other. There is only one God and Goddess, but both are referred to by different names at different times.

Another important aspect of Wicca, is respecting nature and all things that grow and live in it. While you can worship nature, a Witch must care for all things that live upon our world in order to truly practice the art of Wicca.

Simple ways of doing this do not always entail spell-making and calling upon the Goddess. But making a difference in your immediate environment, by being economical, collecting litter, recycling, giving old items to a charity shop and caring for your pets.

In the Wiccan religion, it is very important that you understand that everyone has a Spiritual Choice. Whether it is to follow the Christian or Hindu religions. It is someone's choice to believe in the Divine, as it is a person's path and they are solely responsible for their destiny. However, everyone is entitled to their own Spiritual choice, as long as it harms no one else.

Starting the path of the Witch requires you to learn and grow, this means you must do the hard work. You can choose which specialities you would like to study and you are not forced to keep by a specific schedule. However, if you are in a coven. The High Priest and Priestess may ask you to do certain tasks or perform rites for the yearly Sabbat. Studying in Solitude would not require you to do those things if you did not wish it.

If you are fortunate enough to have a teacher for Wicca, you must respect that they will not do the work for you. They are only there to advise and guide you through the motions of Wicca. I have found, that if you set up personal goals for your learning, the task flows much more easily.

And that is it for the introduction to Wicca. I will be posting much more information regarding Festivals, Elements and the Divine very soon. Thank you for reading.

Blessed Be.
