Wicca

The Triquetra is a symbol used in many pagan traditions, such as Norse and Celtic paganism, and also used by Christians to depict the Holy Trinity.

In modern neopaganism, this symbol has a variety of meanings. In Wicca it can be used as a symbol of protection and to depict the Triple Goddess.

a wicca practitioner is a witch

Just to clarify here. Wicca is just one of the many spiritual paths that fall under the umbrella term of Pagan. Not all witches are practitioners of Wicca and not all Wiccans call or consider themselves Witches. Also of note, not all practitioners of witchcraft, call or consider themselves witches.

Whichever ones you like the best. They're not magical.

Yes the Horned God exists. I saw him yesterday in the woods behind my house. I asked him what he was doing and he said I should be asking myself that.

==new answer== In exploring these types of questions, you will find it helpfull to read " Atlantis remembered, history of the world, volume one"isbn# 0-944386-28-8 In gathering additional information from the akashic records, where all thought and action are stored, there were questions related to the process of early development. The real facts may surprise you.

First Degree, Second Degree, Third Degree, and High Priest/ High Priestess

snakes in general are symbolic of wisdom. If you wanted to interpret the snakes color into the equation yellow would be symbolic of intellect or knowledge and the black would be symbolic of that knowledge being hidden or secret knowledge.

Yes. In fact many bases are now designating areas specifically for the practice of Wicca and Neo-Paganism.

All Hallows Eve is Halloween It derives from a pagan festival called Samain where people believed the spirits of the dead roamed the earthly plain for one night of the year

Wicca are people who follow the spiritual path of Wicca, where nature is revered. The Sun God and Moon Goddess. There are feminine and masculine (Goddess / God) forces of nature. There are cycles of nature, like Full Moon ~ New Moon, Seasons; which are celibrated by Wicca.

Wiccans gather in a place by nature (a forest or meadow or a shore) to worship the God and Goddess. They form a sacred circle around an alter to keep their magic inside and evil outside. A Wiccan ritual is where everyone involves, there are no simple observents. Wiccans may raise their spiritual energy and do their Magic/Witchcraft.

Wicca has secrets, only revealed as one progress after initiation.

There is a moral code for Wicca. Modern Wicca may take the Wiccan Rede as the basic code. There are old laws which are more strict. The most important part is "Harm None and Do as you wish.!"

Cleanse it, and ask for the Lord and Lady's blessings upon it.

well there is no real Wicca language... you usually make your own to help protect your spells and anything else in your book of shadows from other peoples reading. Or you can use another language. All up to you.

Due to the staunchness of the christian faith during the 1800's wiccans were generally disregarded as witches. Though persecution may not have extended to execution wiccan were constantly harassed for their pagan ideologies.

I'm not a Christian, but I suppose the answer to that question depends on which branch of Christianity you follow. Jesus Christ performed many healing Miracles... so I suppose you need to read to your Bible, and make your own interpretation. To point out a few: Jesus made a blind man see, made a lame man walk, cured a leper, cast out demons, brought a man back to life etc. Also as a Wiccan, I have to question why you would classify us as unholy? Oh yeah, any faith that is not your faith is unholy by definition, I forgot, silly me.

It is considered very inappropriate for one Wiccan to publish information about another practitioner or coven. But you may be able to find information at a local Unitarian Universalist Church, which often have connections with the Wiccan community.

This is difficult question to answer but I will do my best. There is usually Spirit and from spirit is god and goddess. This is where it gets a little tricky, but all gods and goddess stem from them. Depending on one's tradition equals number of gods and goddesses. The belief is that all gods and goddess exist and are just forms from the original god and goddess.

Wicca has its own scriptures.

No but you can get wiccan books in Hastings.

That would depend entirely on the spell you are casting.

- Spells of completion, harvest and thanks are best cast at the Full moon.

- Spells of beginning, planting, and growth are best cast at the New moon.

- Spells of increase are best cast during a waxing moon (from the New moon to the Full moon)

- Spells of decrease are best cast during a waning moon (from the Full moon to the New moon)

- Specific spells cast on a Blue moon (the second full moon in a calendar month) can be extremely powerful. This is an excellent time to charge talismans and amulets.

- Specific spell cast on a Black moon (the second New moon of a calendar month) can be extremely powerful. This is an excellent time to cast major spells of change or beginning.

The house the moon is in will also have considerable effect on the spell. It would do little good to do a prosperity spell in a waning moon in Libra, whereas casting it in a waxing moon in Taurus would make it much stronger.

There is also the whole "void of coarse" thing. The time between when the moon leaves one house and enters another. Spells cast during this time tend to be less effective and erratic.

The Pagan tradition known as Alexandrian Wicca was founded by Alex Saunders, the self-proclaimed "King of Witches", and his wife Maxine.

Yes. Wicca/Paganism allows the person to believe what they wish as far as God vs. Gods. The name they wish to place upon their deity. The only real rule is you do not harm anyone (yourself or others).

The Goddess, Isis

Also, the High Priestess of the coven

Neo-Paganism can look to people like, Gerald Gardner, Alan Bennett, Aleister Crowley, Dr. W. W. Wescot as well as authors like Ray Buckland, Starhawk, The Fararrs, Frazer, and Fortune for their modern beginnings.

Witches/Wiccans are people just like everyone else. There isn't a separate way to interact and communicate with us. A simple, "Happy birthday!" will suffice.

There are a lot of books out there, as well as many websites. Here are a few of my favorites...

Good Luck!

The Dragon is a symbol of the great wisdom within the Earth. It is also a symbol of power, just as the grid of power that crisscrosses the Earth are called Ley or Dragon Lines.

However, each culture has very specific meanings for particular Dragons, so a little more research may be necessary to identify a particular type of Dragon and any specific qualities it may possess.

As for the "Wiccan Symbols", there are more than many! Please narrow it don. Are you referring to a Pentacle, pentagram, equal armed cross, solar discs, anwen, or another?
