What is Wicca

Wicca is an ancient religion.
Although at the time did not have this name, is the first religion that was ever practiced on earth, about 30,000 years ago. The Wiccans believe in two gods: a masculine principle, the ancient god hunter, and a female: the Goddess Mother. They have created the universe, the universe and is present in all manifestations of nature. And 'that is based on the nature of Wicca. Cycle of the seasons, the respect of every living being. The word Wicca was introduced by Gardner in the 50's and is used as an alternative to Witchcraft, sorcery.

Wicca, the witch is simply "the wise". Witchcraft has been persecuted by Christianity, attempted to erase the pagan religion in Christian festivals overlapping those pagan festivals were connected to the wheel of the year. The God Hunter often depicted with horns, and stressed its strong connection with nature, was superimposed on the image of absolute evil for Christians: the devil.

We Wiccans do not worship the devil, not even believe it! The pentacle, the five-pointed star that Satanists carry upside down is actually a symbol of protection and represents the 4 elements governed by the Spirit. For Wiccans there is no absolute evil. But we have ethics. Ethic where it's easy to find and that is summed up in the Wiccan rule. The real witch, or Wicca, is a person who believes in the divine manifests itself in nature, I feel the strength, love and try to keep in harmony with it. It 'a person always looking, sincere, responsible for their actions, protector of all living things.

We are not idolaters. We do not believe that the Sun and Moon are deities: they are the symbol of the Goddess and God chose us because we remember them. For this God is identified with the Sun and the Moon Goddess.

The Wiccans practice magic. They do not appear in objects, do not turn into animals, much less throw curses. Wicca is the magic only for good. The witch is the only true means necessary. The Christians call it what we call magic in a way that will sound familiar: prayer.

Wicca is a religion "invented". Refers to ancient cults, practices of which unfortunately we have only fragmentary evidence. For this reason, rather than on finding ConcenTrace ancient roots and continuity over the centuries, with the risk of producing false true history, we prefer to pay attention to the present and future. Wicca is a reality in the present: it is the choice of those who have decided to return to nature and back in touch with the Divine within each of us.
Being heirs of the Ancient Religion today, involves great responsibility, especially in a world like ours, in which man seems to have forgotten his deep connection with the Earth.
