Well, I would just like to give you my impressions of Wicca, and maybe help out fellow witches that are just starting out. First, almost everything found on my site was borrowed from my research on the web and does not necessarily reflect my personal beliefs. I tried to give my visitors a wide variety of opinions and beliefs concerning wicca and other pagan relgions. Take what you want from it.
First of all, I get alot of e-mail from my page asking for help on learning wicca. The question I'm often asked is "Am I doing this right?". The answer to that is, there is no right or wrong way to practice wicca as long as you abhere to the Rede and wiccan laws. You should find these on the main page. Read them carefully and do what you think is right and best for YOU and don't let anyone dictate how you practice.
As for other questions, well, theres really no point in asking me. Just about everything you'd want to learn about wicca is on my page. The rest is up to you. I am not much more that a novice myself. Just about everything I've learned so far, I've learned on the web, through books and talking with other wiccans.
But I'll give you some learning tips. Read! There are tons of great books on wicca out there. You could find them in any book store in the "New Age" section. Search the web! There are so many wonderful wicca/pagan pages out there, you just have to look.
Now about Wicca itself. Heres my observations on it. Its not just a fad. I started my research more than 3 years ago and have not lost interest. If anything I am more dedicated to learning about wicca. And it IS a real religion. You don't have to take my word for it. The government made it a recognized religion many years ago (cant remember exactly when). There is no right or wrong path in wicca. I, myself am eclectic, meaning I steady different aspections of many cultures. From egyptian, celtic, japanese to greek. Many usually like to stick to one path, like celtic tradition, for example. Its what ever culture you're most interested in studying.
I've noticed that many just starting out in wicca have many premisconceptions about witchcraft and spells. If you're only interested in wicca because you think casting spells will get you anything you want, then you're looking in the wrong place. Dont get me wrong, spells do work, but only with good reason. If you're only interested in getting what you want through magick, spells wont work. Wicca is and was not meant to be used that way. Selfish gain is NOT the wiccan way.
The words of the rede "if you harm none, do what you will" are sometimes misinturrpited. But that is all up for debate and not worth getting into here. Just think about it a while, study the topic, perhaps you'll see what I mean.
Well, I think thats about all I can say about wicca. If my page and what I've said here still doesn't answer some of your questions, please feel free to e-mail me. Like I said, I'm not much more than a novice myself, but I will do my best to answer your questions.
Merry Meet,
Brightest Blessings,
