Basics

Before you go out to buy those neat tools, don the robes, and do a spell, you need to start with a few things first. Every Wiccan must have at least read the Wiccan Rede, and have it around to read at will. This was written in inspiration. I have found three different versions of this, and one of them is found in my BOS. I am not sure why there are three versions( and I am sure there are more around), except that nothing is set in stone with Wicca. Perhaps different Traditions had different versions within their group.

Then you need to adhere to the beliefs of Wicca. Although every Solitary is different from each other, and every coven has subtlties that change from group to group, these ideals are basic. These should be followed by you, too. And if you can't or shouldn't, there is nothing wrong with that. You would probably call yourself a witch or find another pagan path to follow.

This site has a solitary slant to it. I do not belong to a coven, nor do I wish to. You may want to chose to stay solitary or join a coven. With either path, dedication and Initiation rituals are performed. For the solitary, you may take one out of a book, or make your own.

After you have dedicated as a Wiccan, you have a whole new set of holidays or Sabbats to follow. Rituals for these Sabbats are reffered to as Tools. And to keep up with your workings, Meditate to keep your focus.

Along with Almanacs, charts, phases, and how you feel are other ways to help you work your spells and rituals. This is in no way ment to give you "everything you need to know". I am just mearly giving you a start. What you end up doing is on your own. I am also encouraging you to look at other sites and books. Having as wide range of sources ensures quality research. So please use this information with caution and what you get out of it is your own working. Good Luck!
