Ten thousand years we've struck the fire,
Creation's music freely sung
With Magick �joined we've praised the stars
Since first the world begun.
Our spirit lives in timeless dance,
The Tarot and the Rune,
And nights united in the power
Of Drawing Down the Moon!
� � � � � � � � � � � � -David O. Norris, �1994
Principles of Wiccan Belief:
Practicing rituals to attune ourselves to the rhythm of life forces marked by the changing of the moon and the seasonal quarters and cross quarters.
Seek harmony with natrure.
See "supernatural" power lying within every one and everything.
Seeing the Creative Power in the Universe as manifesting thorough polarity~masculine and feminine---The God and The Goddess.
Recognize the Physical and Metaphsical worlds around us.
We do not recognize any authoritarian heirarchy (unlike other religions there is no need to go to church and follow a reverend, pastor, or priest).
Seeing religion, magick, and wisdom as a way of �living.
Calling oneself a witch does not amke it so, nor does heredity. �A witch seeks control of themselves to make living life well, without harm to others, and in balance with the natural forces around you.
The only antimosity toward Christianity (or any other religion) is that these institutions have proclaimed to be the one true way to enlightenment.
