Yup, another "Ask Me" thread. So, go head, ask away.

I'm really glad that you made this thread, because I know personally, I don't know a lot about Wicca.  It will be interesting to find out more about it.  Could you share some of your basic beliefs that go along with it?

I think it is a Government program to give dairy products to underprivlidged witches.    ;)

How long have you been practicing?

The absolutely basic belief is the Wicca Rede. It is very long. Here it is for those of you who are interested in reading it.

http://www.wicca.com/celtic/wicca/rede.htm

The most important part of the Rede is the very end:

These Eight words the Rede fulfill:
"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

It is an Earth or Pagan religion

Cute.



How long have you been practicing?



I have been a witch all my life but didn't realize it until about 15 years ago or so. It took me about another 5 years before I finally came out of the "broom closet".

That sounds good to me.  I don't practice any religion, but Paganism is the closest religion to my own beliefs.

What really appeals me is that Wicca gives me the freedom to practice the way that is right for me. No one is telling me that I HAVE to believe this or that. There is no right or wrong way to practice-as long as you don't hurt anyone.

This may sound idiotic, but do you actually cast spells and such?

Is Wicca for real?  ???

Is Wicca for real?  ???



Yes, it is.  Quite a few people believe in it/practice it.  It's not just the tv show Charmed, although I do love that show.

Is that Wicca as in The Wicker Man?

I guess I'll ask the silly question since no one else has:  "are you a good witch, or a bad witch"?

to be involved, must one be a witch or can a person be involved in wicca and not have to be a witch?

http://www.wicca.com/tccblu.jpg

So then this must be the logo^

This may sound idiotic, but do you actually cast spells and such?



No, it does not sound idiotic and yes, I do cast spells. The question is, "Do they work?" Well... :-\\  Actually, 1 or 2 of them have but I don't cast a lot of them.



Is that Wicca as in The Wicker Man?



Um, probably not.

If you read right below my name on my avatar, that should tell you.  ;) Of course, that question boils down to how you define good or bad? I am a good witch in terms of the fact that I only use my magic for good. I am a bad witch in terms that I don't always do rituals when I should.  :-

what kind of spells have you cast?  Do you read fortunes? or have some other 'gift' in the paranormal? (i.e. psychic abilities, dream interpretation, abilities to talk to spirits)

You don't have to be a witch to be involved. Some people are uncomfortable calling themselves witches so they will say that they are Wiccan or a Pagan, or some other name. I know people are not witches, yet they do pretty much follow the path-i.e. like Carlos.

Cat

I did see it, but I couldn't resist asking the question that Glenda asks Dorothy.
So can men be called a witch, because I've always thought that term refered to females.

I cast spells as the need arises. For instince, there is a little patch of land that techniclly belongs to the church next door (yeah, we live right next to a church-how ironic). When Carlos moved in here (long before I knew him) the church told him that he could do whatever he wanted to that strip of land. So he did-planted a tree and a few years ago, I planted a bunch of wildflowers. Then the church came sniffing around and said that they were going to move the fence they had to put it right on the propery line-meaning cutting us off to the tree and the flowers. I did a spell (and Carlos called a lawyer friend of his and wrote a letter to the church). We never heard anything back from them and we can enjoy the tree and the flowers. Other types of spells I do has to do with sending good wishes to someone or seeing that justice is served.

Yes, I do read Tarot cards. I have read for people but I have never charged anyone when I read the cards for them. I also interrept dreams (as many on this board can attest to).

I do "feel" presence sometimes when others do not. But I wouldn't say that I can communicate with spirits. I also have a bit of E.S.P. I have a tendency of answering people's question without them asking. Sometimes I KNOW something is going to happen. It is not highly active but every now and again it does click.

I knew what you were getting at. I have used the quote many times myself.  ;) 

Men are also called witches. In Wiccan there is no such thing as a "warlock" as they discribe men in old movies and even "Bewitched".

Cat, I have a question.  I have had people who are into the "Black" and even "Grey" who have asked me "What I am?" Which kind of freaked me out.  I have paranormal experiences, but I'm not evil.  An expert that I went to has said that I am about as close to Shamanism as you can get without being one"  I believe in Ancestor worship".  I guess my question is how do you deal with it?

How do I deal with paranormal experiences or how do I deal with idiots who don't know what they are talking about? As for the paranormal experiences, I try to take them in stride. I know when my E.S.P. starts clicking, there is a reason. Some higher power-whether it be the Goddess, the Universe or whatever wants me know something and maybe do something about it. As for the idiots, I try to ignore them. There are many people out there who think that Wicca means devilworshiping. Sometimes I try to educate them. Other times I just say, "Whatever". The thing is you have to be comfortable with your gifts and yourself. Once you do that, than you can use those gifts for good and it doesn't matter what others say.

I hope that answers your question.

Yes, it does answer my question.  It doesn't make me feel uncomfortable.  It makes other people feel uncomfortable.  Someone once said something about me. "of course she has lots of Friends, half of them are dead"  I kind of like it that way. :)

Do Wiccans believe in 'God' in the traditional biblical sense? What about Jesus Christ?  Do they believe in "Satan" as in there is an actual Satan or devil?  Or do they believe more in the concept of 'good' and 'evil' without representatives of the two concepts themselves ? (i.e. God/Jesus/Deity of your choice= good, Satan/Devil/Evil Spirit of your choice= bad)?  I'm not sure if my question is coming out clearly or not... the more I talk, the more bumbled it gets.. :P

Wiccans believe in the Goddess and the God-they rule together. Some give them names, others do not. Each witch usually has his/her own diety they perfer. (On my personal alter, I have a statue of Venus for the Goddess and a statue of Dionysus for The God,). There is no such thing as the devil or Satan in Wicca. However, the God is also known as the "Horned God" which gives Christians the impression of a devil. The myth goes that the Goddess gives birth to the God at the Winter Solstice-Dec. 21 (hmmm, sounds a lot like Christmas, huh?). The God transforms from the Goddess' child into her lover and on Beltane-May 1, they celebrate their love. I have heard different stories where the Goddess is already pregnant at Beltane or the child is conceived on Beltane. The God dies on Samhain (pronounced  "Sow-een,")-Oct. 31, Halloween, only to be reborn again on the Solstice.


Good and evil forces do exist and witches know that humans can cause much evil. That is why there is something called "The Three-Fold" rule. What that means, whatever you do to or for someone will come back to you 3 times. That is why no respectable witch will do harm.



Cat

thanks, Cat for the explanation. :)

I have a few friends who are Wiccan, and back when I was in high school before I realized I was agnostic, I dabbled in a little Wicca thanks to my friend Steven. But it seemed to me that their spells are the equivalent to the prayers of Christianity.

So here's my question to you: Do you think that Wicca's spells are the same as Christianity's prayers? They both provide some sense of hope and they try to change something. And there's no physical proof of both really working most of the time (sorry, I'm agnostic. I have to question these things).

In a sense they are equivalent. The difference lie in the fact that with Christianity, people ask God to do the changing. In Wicca, people try to do the changing themselves (with help from the Goddess).

Hi Cat!
I'd figured you were a wiccan before I stumbled across your thread, but I'm really chuffed you're so open to questions.  I've been a wiccan all my life but I only just put a name to it, and lately I've been reading everything I can get my hands on.  Are you solitary or do you belong to a coven?  I'm leaning towards hedgewitch myself - it kind of ties in with my job (midwife) and the fact that I've been into healing for years, first as a nurse and then later spiritual healing and using crystals.  I also read tarot for my friends and family.  I always believed in the power of nature rather than in God, and have always tried to live in line with the Wiccan Rede, although I didn't know what it was until recently.  My question is, do you think it is necessary to learn from other wiccans?  I'm really not into the idea of joining a coven.

I, too was a witch all my life but didn't realize it until about 15 years ago or so. At the time I still wasn't comfortable calling myself a witch (2000 of bad propaganda really works).  It took me many years to finally come out of the "Broom Closet". I am a solitary witch. I don't believe in organized religion and being a part of coven would be organized. I have nothing against covens per say-it is just not for me-but some people need that structure.

I think there are two schools of thought. Some people believe that you have to be "trained a year and a day" in order to be a true witch. There are others who believe that you can be self-taught. I have never had any "formal training". All I learned, I learned from books. In a way, you can say that Scott Cunningham is my teacher. I have most of his books and if you haven't read any of his stuff, I HIGHLY recommend them. (Unfortunately, he left this world too soon.  :\'( :\'( :\'()

Do Wiccans have ceremonies for events like weddings or births or deaths?

Do Wiccans have ceremonies for events like weddings or births or deaths?



Yes. In fact, Carlos & I had a Wiccan wedding (which was Carlos' idea actually). We did the handfasting (which they tied our hands together-where the term "tying the knot" comes from) and we jumped over the broom which is similar to "carrying the bride across the threshhold". There was something else we did which I didn't know about until about 2 weeks before the wedding, which was that all our guests tied little ribbons on our wedding broom. As they tied the ribbon on, they each made a wish for us. The broom is on the wall in our dinning room with everyone's wishes for us on it.  ;D We did have one person not come because she heard it was going to be Wiccan (she wasn't really a friend to begin with and in my book, she lost any hope of ever becoming a friend). We heard nothing but good things about the ceremony. My mother, the die-heart Episcopalian, had tears in her eyes and thought it was such a beautiful ceremony.

There are ceremonies for births and deaths too but to tell you the truth, I'm not too familiar with what they are.

Pretty cool actually. Of course I use candles in just about all the magic I do-but not exclusively candle magic.

ok, thanks cat  :) I have been doing some reading on the use of candles in spells. I find it pretty cool, its something I never really thought of before, not until the last couple months anyway. I have been doing some of the spells that I have found, and trying to word some of my own. so far its working for me.  ;)

Nothing wrong with that. I know there are a lot of "born again Pagans" who were brought up in the Christian faith and they have combined aspects of both into their own religion. I am a firm believer that religion is VERY personal. You should practice what you believe and who cares what anyone else says (just as long as you don't hurt anyone).

Hmmm, good question and I'm not too sure I know the answer to that one-it depends on a few things. Are these two people the owners of your workplace? If they are not, then they have no right telling you what you can or can't wear. If they ARE the owners, then I'm not too sure what your recourse is. A lot depends on how far you are willing to take things. You can always sue for the right to practice your religion (guaranteed under the First Amendment of the Constitution) but that entails hiring a lawyer, not to mention receiving a lot of flack.


Oh, and I am assuming you know to wear the pentagram with the point up (the top point representing the Goddess-the other four the elements, air, fire, water, earth). But, with a ring, I'm not too sure which way is up.  :-\\



Cat

I hadn't seen this thread before: thanks for bumping it, Catwoman.

I have some questions for which I could not find satisfactory answers on the 'net (feel free to take a while to answer these  :D). I apologize for my own ignorance in advance, because, aside from you, I don't *think* I know any other Wiccans.

What religion is Wicca closest to in terms of overall beliefs?

Is Wicca a feminist or matriarchal religion?

Is "Witch" synonymous with being "Wiccan"? Is it a slur? What are male Wiccans called?

How accurate is this video in regard to Wicca?

How much of Wicca borrows from Christianity (or vice-versa)?

How many different "types" of Wicca are there - i.e., are there the equivalences to the numerous subcategories of Christians?

What are the major misconceptions about Wicca?

~~~~~

I find it curious that I have in common quite a few viewpoints with what I perceive as Wiccan beliefs. Although I declare myself as atheist (not in the common manner of rejecting the possibility of a god or gods, but in rejecting theism), I find it impossible to reject most of the little I know about Wicca on a personal level.  Perhaps I heard it best while doing preliminary research: "Wicca is a benign religion". Though the skeptic in me would believe that "benign religion" is an oxymoron, I can't cite, find nor remember any examples to prove otherwise in the case of Wicca.

Hi thanks for your response, i didn't know that about the points thanks, i also live in NYC and work in an animal shelter that is partly run by the city sort of. its complicated. i do forsee some flak from people that i would just have to educate on the pentagram

Yes .... a 'few' of them appeared in a famous 'Monty Python' sketch ! Here they are on 'Wicca island' ^  :D


















Here's an amusing little anecdote about Alan Wicca from 'Wicca-pedia' :




Alan Whicker revealed that while in America one time he heard an "Alan Whicker" impersonation contest on a local radio show (possibly influenced by the Monty Python sketch). He rang up and entered as a contestant and came third.



How sad is THAT !  :\'(  :D







Yes, a similar incident happened to Charlie Chaplin, who entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike competition, and came 3rd !  ;D








Oh .. I only just realised (cough !)  .. his name's spelt 'Whicker'    :-[

What religion is Wicca closest to in terms of overall beliefs?



Wicca has roots in ancient times-it is really hard to say which religion it is closet too-Maybe some of the Native American religions.



Is Wicca a feminist or matriarchal religion?



In a way, yes. That is not to say that men don't have a role. As I said in another post, it honors the Goddess and the God-and yes, the Goddess is slightly higher than the God-but not by much.



Is "Witch" synonymous with being "Wiccan"? Is it a slur? What are male Wiccans called?



Males are also called witches. People do use the word "witch" as a slur-but it is not. The term "witch" in ancient times meant a healer. But Christianity twisted and distorted the word. Today, witches (such as myself) use the term with honor. 


How accurate is this video in regard to Wicca?



Not really knowing that particular coven, I would guess it is accurate. Every coven, every witch really practices in their own way. There is no right way or wrong way. 




How much of Wicca borrows from Christianity (or vice-versa)?



Wicca is much older than Christianity-so Christianity borrows much from Wicca. The idea of the Goddess giving birth to the God on the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21st) sounds an awful like Mary giving birth to Jesus on Dec. 25th. Much of the Christmas traditions stem from Pagan beliefs-the holly, the tree, yule log (in fact, the Wiccan term for the Solstice is Yule) etc.  Back when Christians were becoming the dominate force in Europe-many did not want to give up the Dec. festival-the powers that be, just incorporated much of the ancient traditions so it doesn't have to be an either/or. The Easter egg is also a Pagan symbol for fertility. (And Easter is celebrated about the same time as Baltain).



How many different "types" of Wicca are there - i.e., are there the equivalences to the numerous subcategories of Christians?



That is the $25,000 question. Who knows. My belief is that if there are 10,000 Wiccans, there are 10,000 different subcategories. You do have some who belong to covens, some who are solitary witches (like me), there are some who practice one way and others who practice another way.



What are the major misconceptions about Wicca?



I would say the major misconception about Wicca is that we are devil worshipers. (I did lower case "d" on purpose). In Wicca there is no such thing as a devil. It stems from 2000 years of bad propaganda.

That sounds exactly like Carlos. Yes, he too is an atheist yet, he can believe that the Goddess as I call her, is really Mother Nature. No one can deny that Mother Nature exist when you watch her renew herself every spring, or dies every fall or even when a new baby is born (even though Christians call her God-which is fine).  He is very comfortable with Wicca-even practicing it along side of me while he still calls himself an atheist.

I put a spell on you
’cause you’re mine
You better stop the things you do

Serious, no. The only spell I will put on people are healing spells. When I was dating Carlos and wanted him in the worst way, I thought about putting a spell on him but I wanted him to come to me on his own-and he did.  ;D  Any witch will tell you that you CAN'T make anyone fall in love with you.

Here's an amusing little anecdote about Alan Wicca from 'Wicca-pedia' :





How sad is THAT !  :\'(  :D







Yes, a similar incident happened to Charlie Chaplin, who entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike competition, and came 3rd !  ;D








Oh .. I only just realised (cough !)  .. his name's spelt 'Whicker'    :-[ 







Should I post this after all ?  ???  :-\\  Decisions, decisions !  ::)










Yeah ! >:(  :P Why not !  ;D :D



Sorry, never heard of Alan Wicca.

Thank you for the answers, Catwoman. I thought about posting that Screamin' Jay Hawkins classic myself.  :)

One more question: do spells require ingredients, drawings, phases of the moon, threes (like in "Charmed") or just words?

I think it depends on the spell and the witch. Different things work for different situations/people. And the biggest thing is what that person feels comfortable with.
