Witchcraft is a religion of ecology; it's goal is harmony with nature so that life may not just survive, but thrive. Love for life in all its forms is the basic ethics of Witchcraft.

oohhh, so why is considered evil then?

Hahah! Exactly! It isn't evil! Because back in the day we did not follow the church it was looked upon as evil. Then we would have festivals where we thank the Earth. Some choose to be nude in their celebrations. We looked at our god of the hunt. This seemed bad to the church so they labeled it as evil. IT is not evil at all! Witches are good!

listen UPP:

Many sites say that this is a 'new religion, yet you say 'back in the day'. So when exactly was 'back in the day'? ((not to be mean, i'm serious))

that is because thats how people did not understand us have saw witches for a long time. however What Wicca is not is Satanism. We do not worship the Devil, kill small animals or sacrifice children. We are not evil, nor do we practice evil acts or black magick or manipulative or exploitative magick.

why there is a bunch of stories like that then? i have heard terrible ones? but i believe in information gives the answer, , please tell me more 3nodding

Some groups teach the energy flow is stopped by clothing. By being nude, there are no such problems.

So the begining moons of the year....spring is all about fertility which deals with flowers growing and babies being born. Wiccan is both. We follow or are guided by the goddess who reprsents everything woman. Fertility, motherhood, etc. There is the Maiden, mother and crone. I find that represents it very well. You start off as the baby or maiden you become the mother and then with age the crone. The Crone then dies and is reborn as the Maiden. It is like Spring goes to summer then fall comes and everything 'dies' and in the winter it is dead or sleeping and then in the spring it is reborn. Fertility is mainly l linked with Imbolc and Beltane (holidays) and then there is Samhain which is halloween which is the day of the dead, all souls night when the veils between our world and the spirit world are thinned. Do you see a pattern? Born-live-die-born-live-die.

ooh so is just an antique religion? mmm, more questions are bubbling inside me, what aboy controling elemants? i saw a movie about magic and they talked about natural witches? they exist' do you need special knowledge? why everyone things is or false os is dangerous?

I don't like the word controlling. I use them in my practice because they hold charges.It is very good for your soul to have all elements in your room. I have wind chimes or incense for air, Fountains for water, Plants for earth, and candles for fire. Knowledge is the key. You have to understand yourself and not be greedy. Do not abuse magik. I'm trying to think of ways to explain the feeling of Wiccan. you should purchase a crystal. Do just grab one of the shelf. Really sit there and think about the crystal and one will jump out at you.

It also follows with the cycle of the moon, which is why a lot of the time the Mother Goddess is represented as the moon. In the waxing part of the cycle, she is the maiden, in the full moon, the mother, in the waning, the crone. In the dark part of the moon she dies and is reborn. (Depending on the belief system. This version is from the palaeolithic times, in truth.)

so there are more versions? which one is true? all of them?

Nudity is also connecting with the mother goddess for that is how we came into this earth. Clothing is material and man made. Some people have cloaks (I have one ^.^) it is meant for rituals. They charge them under the moon or with the elements. There are many ways to go about different things.

Truth is subjective. This version is true to my beliefs. It doesn't change much, but as ages changed the image of the Mother Goddess in her cycles was changed. Mostly it remained the form that I described above though. I just hate making absolute statements because they tend to piss people off.

For me that is tricky. I have black candles etc but they are not to do harm on others. Black is a powerful color but it doesn't mean evil. Night is very powerful but that goes with the death and rebirth of the sun. If you do harm on others expect it back three times fold (Wiccan Rede)

I want you to hear something that is very beautiful. It labels some of the goddess. I use Egyptian gods and goddess in my work. Sometimes Greek.
