The Do's and Dont's of Wicca

Wiccans do not do evil. We believe that doing evil and harm is against all ethical and moral laws.

Further, Wicca tells us "An ye harm none (not even yourself), do what ye will".

Wiccans do not worship Satan. We do not have a Satan/Devil or any all-evil deity in our religious structure.

Wicca is a religion that underscores polarity and views the God and the Goddess as equal entities.

A Male Wiccan is not a Warlock.

The word Warlock is a Scottish word meaning "oath breaker", and became a term designating a male Wiccan during the "burning times".

A Male Wiccan is called a Wiccan.

Wiccans wear clothing of every color and every style. Many Wiccans do choose to wear black clothing or ritual robes. The color black is the culmination of all vibrational rates of light on the material plane. Black absorbs light information and helps Wiccans be more receptive to psychic impressions and energies.

Wiccans come from every socio-economic and ethnic background. Many Wiccans are professional people holding positions of responsibility such as Doctors, Nurses, Police Officers, Teachers, etc.

Wicca does not discriminate against color or ethnic origin and does view everything as equal in the eyes of the Goddess and the God.

Wiccans do use spells. A spell is a thought, a projection, or a prayer.

Other religions use prayer, meditation, protection and ritual to produce an intended result.

The word "spell" does not simply doing evil or harm.

Wiccans do use magick wands. Often you see the use of magick wands in childrens cartoons and movies making the idea seem frivolous.

In actuality they are used in healing for directing energy. Wiccans do use Wicca as a science, an art, and a religion. We use our knowledge and magick in harmony with the Universe and Nature around us.

The word "Wiccan" has a deep and rich meaning As defined by the English Oxford dictionary..

"Wicce" (Wick-kay) designates a Female Witch 

where as

"Wicca" (wick-kah) designates a Male Witch.

In the religion of Wicca we view the pentacle as an amulet and a symbol for protection.

The five-pointed star represents the human body and the earth.

In combination, the star surrounded by the circle represents the human body encompassed by the protection of the Goddess/God force.

The pentacle is the symbol for Universal Wisdom.

Wiccans do concern themselves with ecology.

We have never forgotten this basic fact: the world is not our enemy.

Neither is it inert, dumb matter.

The earth and all living things share the same life-force.

They are composed of patterns of intelligence, of knowledge, and of divinity, all life is a web.

We are woven into it as sisters and brothers of All.

Wiccans need to be grounded in both worlds and awake to their responsibilities for both worlds.
