A branch of Paganism which focuses SOLELY on good. NOT devil-worshipping. Wiccans believe in the five elements-Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Spirit. A traditional circle is of five, although four can be a circle as well, as Spirit may represent itself. Wiccans would NEVER use the craft irresponsibly. As well as that, they don't use these "hexes" or "love spells" or whatever one may think. They do use candles, but it's to represent the elements, NOT for spells. During the Sabbats, different-coloured candles and different-scented incenses are used to represent the holiday. The aforementioned Sabbats are the holidays which represent the cycle of life-the birth and death of the Mother and Sun God. The true practitioners of Wicca do NOT dress purely in black. It doesn't matter how you dress. And anyone who "casts" these love spells and hexes and so forth isn't actually Wiccan. They're posers! They see something that people don't approve of and latch onto it, rebelling or something. These are NOT real Wiccans. Many say that Wicca was not invented until the nineteen-fifties. However, Wiccan references have been made as far back as the eighteen hundreds. Gerard Gardner did indeed research the religion, and maybe he filled in the blanks and strung them together. He is the most renowned Wiccan expert, certainly. So really, think before you speak-just because you don't know something doesn't mean it's bad! And Wicca is definitely a major example of this case
From the Wiccan Rede: "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
Uneducated Fool: "Ew, look at that Wicca chick, she's gonna cast a spell on me. What a freak!" Think before you speak.
