Wicca: Practicing Wicca
built 630 days ago
One of the most common misconceptions about the Wicca religion is that it involves devil worship. On the contrary, there is no satanic form in Wicca, no evil to blame for life´s low points. Wiccans believe in balance, not dichotomy, meaning that everything has its place and purpose; nothing is "good" or "bad", per se, except perhaps on a situational basis: for a mundane example, food is neither good nor bad, but it is "good" when you are hungry and "bad" when you are full (or perhaps on a diet). Practicing Wicca involves putting one´s life (including the environment) in good order, and the concept of evil or a devil figure does not enter into this way of life at all.

Gerald B. Gardner gave emphasis to Wicca by presenting it as the Old Religion, a surviving sect of Witches practicing a form of pre-Christian religion. Wicca entered the United States in the early 1960s where it quickly took root. Also helping to form the foundation of the new Craft were several works that included Sir James Frazer's The Golden Bough (10), Robert Graves' The White Goddess, T. C. Lethbridge's Witches, and Erich Neumann's The Great Goddess, from which the new Wiccans drew inspiration.
