Wicca

Wiccaphobia - Fear of witches and witchcraft

The best treatment is education and replacing the negative ideas with positive ones and use of talk therapy usually in groups.

I have been a Wiccan for many years and I will give an honest answer to this: I... have... never... heard of such a thing. It is probably a Christian creation to link "666" (the Devil's number) and 444 together in some way. Take it from me, I have been on Wiccan websites, read Wiccan books, learned different ideas from other Wiccans and have studied the history of Wicca, Paganism and Witchcraft- but never heard of 444.

1. I am a wicca and I cannot take a soul. 2. Nobody can take a soul.

In Wicca there is no spell or methods of "making a person love you." It goes against the Wiccan Rede and is an abomination to the Wiccan faith.

The core rule of the Wiccan faith is (in modern language) "As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, do what you want."

Additionally there are very specific rules about casting spells on an unwilling recipient.

Instead of trying to cast a spell that makes a person love you, try casting a spell that makes YOU more receptive of to love. You might be pleasantly surprised by the results.

That is because both religions have a pentacle. However, Satanists have an inverted, or upside down, pentacle. Oh, and Satanists actually don't worship the devil, that is a common misconception. I would explain further, but that is a whole different topic. :)

Say "I want to be a shemale."

I assume that by 'goddies' you mean 'Goddess', so I'll answer to that.

Well, the God and Goddess are the Divine. They are a part of the Universe, and a source of power. they can help in times of need, like when you are in need of power or protection.

yes there are many rules but the one that is the most important is the rule of not harming anyone. This includes love spells! any spell that controlls peoples emotions or their will is completley against the rules and will come back to get you times three. like karma

It truly depends on each individual Wiccan and their personal beliefs on virginity. To many the act of participating in sex for the first time is insignificant. But for some Wiccans, like myself, it's a very important spiritual step.

Many Wiccans partake in sex for the first time during Beltane, a celebration that takes place on May 1st. You may have heard of the May Pole, where girls dance around the pole with ribbons. As they dance the ribbons wrap around the pole. This tradition represents the union between two human beings in a physical way. Beltane is the celebration of fertility and participating in intercourse on that day is thought to bring good health and possibly pregnancy to a woman.

Many Wiccans also wait until marriage (or a handfasting ceremony) to participate in sex. Doing this allows the person to truly make a physical commitment to the one they love.

In Wicca sex is considered sacred and beautiful. There is no right or wrong way to participate in it, and you do so in a way that reflects your inner beliefs in the idea of sex. Losing your virgity as a Wiccan should be a comforting thing. Because of this it can happen before or after marriage, on any day of the year, and with anyone as long as you believe you are doing what you feel is right.

I like Witch School (witchschool.ws). You simply create an account, sign up for some classes, read a paper and do a test. Simple! Unfortunately, to have access to all the classes you need to pay them.

Yes. I'm not positive if this is the beleif all around, but I am wiccan and I believe - as many many wiccans do - that when you die, you return to the goddess to await reincarnation.

This is where I become unsure of what everyone else believes though, my full beleif: When you die, you return to the goddess where you are pretty much in paradise, and when you are there, you can remember all past lives. You stay there until you believe you are ready to be reincarnated, or you can become a spirit guide(the last part is restricted to those who have been reincarnated 9 times i think.)

This question has never truly been answered. Many people believe the first organized modern practice of Wicca was started by Alyester Crowly.

But the ideals of Wicca and the traditions date back much further. They go back to some of the first civilizations. Celtics, Druids, Greeks, Native Americans, Norse, and Inca all have had the same common practices related to Wicca today.

Wicca is a diverse religion with no real 'right' or 'wrong'. So in many ways the person who follows the religion creates their entirely own practice. Many modern Wiccans do not even associate themselves with Alyester Crowly or even the first societies who shared the same traditions. It truly depends on the individual person as to the opinion on where Wicca originated.

Alexandrian, founded by Alex Sanders and his wife Maxine, is an offshoot of Garnerian Wicca, founded by Gerald Gardner so the similarities are more prominent than the differences.

It is difficult to write general statements about both traditions as each has covens that may practice slightly differently than other covens in their own respective traditions.

Generally speaking:

Both are initiatory, have 3 degrees, are considered British Traditional Wicca (BTW) and are more formal and ceremonial in nature than say, Reclaiming Wicca. Neither accept or recognize self-initiations (usually).

A few differences: Alexandrians attribute the athame to air and wand to fire (Gardnerians athame = fire, wand = air), Gardnerians make more regular use of ritual nudity than Alexandrians.

No. Wicca is a religion, not a language.

Paganism received a lot of harsh criticism in the Bible, but it is an ancient religious tradition that accepts many deities (gods and goddesses) and shows deep respect for nature. There is some evidence that pagan religions have been around for thousands of years in one form or other. A neo-pagan has taken these ancient customs and beliefs and adapted them to the modern world. Some draw upon the traditions, gods and goddesses of ancient Norse or Celtic or Egyptian religions. Others create a new hybrid that combines the ancient and the modern. One of the largest of the neo-pagan religions is Wicca, which is based on goddess-worship and reverence for the earth. Contrary to anti-pagan myth, pagans and wiccans do not worship the devil, nor do they practice so-called "black magic." The chief ethical principal of a neo-pagan is "harm no-one."

The high holy days of Paganism are:

Samhain (All Hallows) October 31

Yule (Midwinter, Winter solstice) December 21 (approximately)

Imbolc (Candlemas, Brigit's Day) February 2

Ostara (Eoster, Vernal equinox) March 21 (approximately)

Beltane (May day, Lady's day) May 1

Litha (Midsummer, Summer solstice) June 21 (approximately)

Lammas (First harvest, Lughnasadh) August 1

Mabon (Second harvest, Autumnal equinox) Sept 21 (approximately)

Hinduism believes that death is just the end of one chapter in the book. For a soul, there are numerous lives (chapters) which would continue and carry on to the next incarnation. Until the soul realizes its true nature (self), the birth and death cycle continues.

You'll find that belief is often of great personal meaning to individuals, and many of said individuals do not desire to share that belief with the world around them. Most Christian Catholics proudly present their religion, but minority religions aren't often as such, because there is the fear of being judged and hated for believing what you believe. I'm afraid you would have to ask the celebrities themselves.
