NO NOT NECESSARILY but when people change from one to another your being disrespectful to your origanal faith and its not proper if you are baptised as calothic then you arn't even really a wicca. Its nothing alike but because you arnt even aloud to belive in the catholic God if you are wiccan. Dont consider it the same please,its disrepecting myself who yes is a catholic.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(
No, but there are many customs that were adopted by the Christian Faith.
For a start not meaning to direspect anyone but you can change between one and another because a true wiccan belives all paths lead to the same mountain. If you have been baptised you can still be wiccan because of the above reason,this being the case you can follow any or every god. Its not the same but there are many similartys and cross roads from both eligion has a different take on historical events . Jesus exists in nearly all of them but NOT the son of god . In Islamic belief he is a prophet , christian the son of god , If you look into the healers (speaking as a collective healer religion/group) he is seen as a reki master. To summerise my almost essay i have just written . No they are not the same but they have cross roads that link to each other and all other religions but are intierly to separate entitys.
no. paganism is a range of religions, like Christianity. Wicca is a type of pagan, but a pagan isn't necessarily a Wiccan.
No it is a branch of paganism
Paganism, by definition, is any various religion outside of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. Wicca is a type of Paganism, and falls under its umbrella. A comparison would be like saying Christianity is a religion, but Southern Baptist is a form of religion that comes under Christianity as a whole. More specifically, Pagan means "country dweller", where Wicca means "witchcraft". One does not have to participate in Wicca in order to be a pagan, but those who practice Wicca are all considered Pagans by default.
Wicca is a belief system, as is Christianity, Islam, etc. Belief systems cannot get you pregnant.
Wicca is a religion unrelated to Christianity
Christianity followed by Islam, Buddhism, Wicca
Yes. Paganism is an umbrella term just like Christianity and Hinduism, there are many different beliefs under each term.
Like other religions, Wicca has holy days (holidays), a set of basic tenets, a cosmology that explains the creation and continued function of the universe, a deity (in Wicca's case a God and Goddess) that should be revered and honored by practitioners, prayer (though some Wiccans prefer not to use the word prayer for personal reasons). Most similar to other religions, the practice and beliefs of Wicca differ from denomination to denomination and practitioner to practitioner.
Yes, of course! Wicca is a religion just as Christianity is a religion. It is based on the beliefs of nature, and is in no way evil or dark. ----- Yes - it is a fertility based initiatory mystery religion.
Books on Wicca can be found in your library, new-age book stores, metaphysical bookstores, and even in the "big-box" bookstores, and on-line in the religion section filed with all the rest of the books on Paganism. FYI Wicca is a sub-section of the spiritual paths known as Paganism, much like Catholics and Baptists are sub-sections of Christianity.
like a boss
No religion is better than another, no matter what anybody says. You decide youself whether it is.
