Wicca is an initiatory orthopraxic fertility witch cult. In order to be Wiccan, you must be initiated into a verifiable lineaged coven, one who can trace their cross-sex initiations back to Gardner himself. You must be at least 18 for this, though in some covens the base requirement is older. This is due to the explicit sexual nature of the practice, as it does include sex rites.

It's not a cult.

It's a religion whose symbols were labeled at evil by Christians and Catholics to keep people away from it.

Wiccans believe in a female deity-the idea of this was horrifying to the Christian and Catholic men who used their religion to keep women from gaining rights or power. After all, even the story of Adam and Eve is meant to make women see inferior to men.


Society even labeled all Wiccan symbols as evil- like this symbol:



Which many believe is a dark symbol of demonic arts used only by demons and evil witches, or other dark forces.


When in actuality the symbol is just about the balance of the elements in the world.

Are you even part of a cult?

Teens want to be cool, rebellious and own a religion where they make the rules. Hell, about 90 percent of them don't even know what the ******** Wicca is! Shyyyyyt. "I wanna be spiritual and seem nice and indie, like a modern-day hippy only realerWICCA!"

[Mobilize For War]

Wicca is just more bullshit thrown on the pile, for us to digest and delude ourselves with.

Anyone who thinks wicca is a bunch of people having orgies is a stupid ********! If you are going to discuss a topic take the time to learn facts about it! As for justifications as to why myself and others believe in the wiccan religion it is damn near impossible to tell why people believe in any religion. Why do people believe in christian, buddhist, muslim, and athiast religions? Nobody knows for sure why anyone believes in these things. For the stupid ******** who want to talk s**t about things they don't understand wiccans believe in several dieties. the moon repressents the most important of our goddesses, the mother who created every creature and sees them all as beautiful. The sun repressents the most important of our gods, the father who lights our way. Now I'm not going to say that NOBODy in the Wiccan religion has orgies because thats not true, hell christians have orgies but do people try to say they are evil? No. The next time one of you ******** who think Wiccans are evil wants to say something remembe this Wiccans have laws. And THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THESE LAWS IS THE WICCAN REDE ALL WICCANS FOLLOW THIS LAW AND IF THEY DONT THEY CANNOT TRUELLY BE CALLED WICCAN! BIDE THE WICCAN LAW YE MUST, IN PERFECT LOVE AND PERFECT TRUST. EIGHT WORDS THE WICCAN REDE FULFILL: AN' YE HARM NONE DO WHAT YE WILL. WHAT YE SEND FORTH COMES BACK TO THEE SO EVER MIND THE LAW OF THREE. FOLLOW THIS WITH MIND AND HEART, MERRY YE MEET AND MERRY YE PART. And for dumbshits who didn't understand that I'll put it in laymans terms. you have to follow the wiccan rede which says as long as you dont harm anyone do what you want, what you do to other people gets sent back to you imes three. And as long as you understand that and know that everything happens for a reason you will know that in the end you ill be where you're suppose to.
