Set Wicca

Can any of you tell me the basic principles and beliefs of Wicca?

I don't mean witchcraft, I am not interested in casting spells. If you are a Wiccan or a Pagan, I just want to know what your basic beliefs are. Who do you pray to or worship, do you erect alters, do you light candles, use crystals and gemstones or incense and herbs? I also like Kitchenwitchery, using herbs and such in a kitchen setting for non food purposes.

I do not tolerate discrimination or hate of any kind. Please do not leave any secular or religious remarks here unless it pertains to the question asked. I respect your religion, all I ask is that you give me that same respect.

Blessed Be,
Robin

There are religious and magickal aspects to Wicca, and no two witches are exactly alike in their beliefs and their practices. There are many different Traditions in which witchcraft is practiced, and while many of the basic beliefs may be the same, the manner in which they are followed varies. Many Solitary practitioners are "Eclectic," meaning they follow no particular tradition, but instead adopt the practices and rituals that seem to fit them best. I would be considered an Eclectic Witch, as I have not chosen a particular tradition but instead take what seems appropriate for me from those that I study.

The Wiccan Rede (its our code of conduct)

Bide the Wiccan Laws ye must,
In perfect love and perfect trust.

Live ye must and let to live,
fairly take and fairly give.

From the circle thrice about,
to keep unwelcome spirits out.

To bind the spell well every time,
Let the spell be spake in rhyme.

Soft of eye and light of touch,
speak ye little, listen much.

Deosil go by the waxing Moon,
sing and dance the Wiccan rune.

Widdershins go by the waning Moon,
chanting out a baleful tune.

When the Lady's Moon is new,
kiss the hand to her times two.

When the Moon rides at her peak,
then let the heart's desire seek.

Heed the North wind's mighty gale,
Lock the door and trim the sail.

When the wind comes from the South,
love will kiss thee on thy mouth.

When the wind blows from the West,
departed spirits have no rest.

When the wind blows from the East,
expect the new and set the feast.

Nine woods in the cauldron go,
burn them quick and burn them slow.

Elder be the Lady's tree,
burn it not or cursed you'll be.

When the wheel begins to turn,
soon the Beltane fires will burn.

When the wheel has turned to Yule,
light the log the Horned One rules.

Heed ye flower, bush, and tree,
by the Lady blessed be.

Where the rippling waters flow,
cast a stone and the truth you'll know.

When you have a hold and a need,
hearken not to other's greed.

With a fool no seasons spend,
nor be counted as his friend.

Merry meet and merry part,
bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the threefold law ye should,
three times bad and three times good.

When the misfortune is anow,
wear the star upon thy brow.

True in Love You must ever be,
lest thy love be false to thee.

These eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill:
An' Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will.

Blessed Be,
Carian
