Wicca is a neopagan religion based on ancient pagan beliefs. It's an earth-based religion that believes in a God and Goddess as representative of a greater pantheistic godhead.

We practice alone, or in groups. We practice witchcraft.

Wicca is a modern neopagan religion that is based on ancient pagan beliefs. It's an earth-based religion that traditionally believes in a God and Goddess as representative of a greater pantheistic godhead.
Wicca views the spiritual and material worlds as overlapping: the gods are not distant beings but entities whose presence we can experience. This religion stresses personal experience with divinity and developing greater harmony with the larger world. Wiccans view the universe as the product of complementary opposites in a system roughly akin to the Chinese concept of yin and yang.
Wicca includes a system of ethics and teaches that we all are ultimately responsible for our own actions. We believe in gods. We believe in magic. We believe in multiple realities. We practice alone, or in groups. We practice witchcraft.

Good day, good witches! Feel free to use this thread to chat, share, boast or just unload in.
I have a very small apartment I can't seem to find a spot to be able to put a permanent alter. Is it OK to put away your alter every night
I have quite the history with herons. Herons guided me to the diety Ra. I thought worshipping Ra would decrease my heron encounters, but the last few days Youtube has been suddenly reccomending me bird videos. I am being reccomend herons and magpies the most, with the exception of one video being a crow. I also saw a heron sign today. Am I overthinking this, or could these be actual signs? If these are signs, is it likely from Ra or some other god/goddess?
I’ve had this candle for quite a while, and is burning really weird and I can’t find a meaning of it. What do you guys think it means?
I've done sage cleaning, lighting candles and even using Florida water but my husband is constantly miserable. He suffers from depression but some days are better than others. He doesn't like where we live because he says a more rural place but that can't really happen until i retire. He don't like the traffic. He don't like that our neughbors houses are close, etc. It's so draining. Yesterday I did a sage clean but it seems the day I do it, it makes him worse. I don't use the smoke sage. I have pets and asthma so I use the spray from Art of The Root. Any suggestions on what I can do to "sweeten him" up? Thank you all
Before you comment, please know that I'm constantly consulting healthcare professionals, in two hospitals, and going through medical examinations.
but I want to explore all the ways of supporting my eyes.
I had troubles since I was 6 years old, doctors never saw the reason (it's not even genetic in my case), so..
please share any tips you know. in antytradition, because I'm a polytheist...
and wish me luck..
I want to banish the negative effect someone’s energy and attitude is having on me, but want to avoid physical banishing to ensure I stay on the right side of the reed. Please, if anyone has any specific spells for this (or general advice) then please share. I’m a bit desperate!
Welcome to the weekend. Let everyone know what's going on in your life here, or just shoot the breeze.
I am worried this will suck the prana out of my food but I live in a small area and this is the ideal place.
Hello! I love reading and learning and was looking for books on Wicca and or spell/shadow work. Beginner or advanced it doesn't matter I just want to add it to my collection! Thank you : )
Los Angeles or Santa Barbara county. My daughter is a novice witch, and I want to ensure her exposure to polytheistic witchcraft and spiritualism. Does anyone have suggestions for family and early childhood community meetups, neighborhoods, or events in Los Angeles that we could join?
I've told someone in my community what and who I am, I think I can trust this person, but how do I make sure they don't repeat what I have told them? I thought about the freezer spell, but am just hoping that I haven't misplaced my faith.
So I live in an area that will get total coverage during the eclipse on the 8th, and I can't help but feel that this would be an excellent time for some spellwork! However, I'm not sure what type I want to do, or what would make best use of the event. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks!
Do you have to buy statues that represent the Lord and lady perfectly? Or can you use statues that you've had for a long time Like i've been using 2 different owl statues that I've had for a long time to represent them The moon goddesses statue is And I will like I said earlier but it's a white crystal I don't know what But with how the crystal looks it kind of reminds me of the moon. And for the horned God, I have this wood, I will statue. That I think represents him decently. Should I not be doing this? Should I go buy some real ones Because real ones I found costs like $70 each and I don't have that kind of money.
for the first time, i finally feel like i'm in a safe and thriving home.
i want to know how i can connect with the house to honor and protect my home.
excited to hear everyone's suggestions :)
I been trying to contact Dantalion more directly and yes i know about the lesser key of Solomon but I do not believe in forcing anything that does not want to be done.
So to start, I don't fully claim being a Wiccan, at most I say I'm pagan, and I haven't been studying or participating really in any craft because of life lol.
But recently this Christian guy in a dating app asked me if i was religious,in which I said not really and that I was pagan so he says thats unfortunate, then he asked me if I practiced witchcraft 🤣
At that point I wished him well because ??
ANYWAY, I was curious if anyone has dated a Christian here and how that turned out. I know Christianity from what I have read paints a bad picture of witchcraft and wanted to know if it was something possible.
I ended a relationship a month ago and I feel miserable. I want to do a self-love spell to feel better about myself. I'm thinking about making a honey jar, can anyone give me suggestions?
Well we reached the end of the week, thankfully! Feel free to post whatever you want here. Plans for the weekend, wierd stuff happening. Go nuts.
I'm sure this in itself may be considered a subcategory of Wicca but I've been considering my own personal beliefs lately and I have identified as a Wiccan for a while but I feel like my own instinctive belief doesn't really match up with what I usually read about in Wiccan belief. Every other thing I believe matches up with Wicca but that. It's too soft polytheistic to me I guess?
I’m very much a baby wiccan and I still need guidance with a lot of things. I’m struggling to find the right people to help me along this journey
I’m getting back into Wicca after many years. This is probably a stupid question but please help me out- What are Wiccan gods/goddesses/deities called again? There was one “god/spirit” that I was going to “summon” (I’m sorry if my terminology is bad-feel free to correct me) but at the end I ended up not doing it… I’m just trying to research them but I can’t seem to find any good websites to do that either. I’d appreciate it if you could recommend some!
I just had to share! I got my first tarot cards and wand! And cool stickers ☺️
So a few years ago when I was like 12-13 one very early late summer morning (around 4 am) I woke up and felt the urge to go to this grove directly behind my house and just sit there in the dying forest. A few weeks before this event is when I started to think I was Wiccan. So anyways, this one morning I felt something but I wasn’t quite sure what it was, it just urged me to go outside. A few days later, I found out that there was a dead raccoon under our back porch which looked like it had been there for some time. No bones or anything showing, but it looked like it could have been killed around the time I went outside at night. I never noticed it because I wasn’t using a flashlight. So I was wondering if what I felt was the spirit of the raccoon as it was dying? It can’t be placebo, because I hadn’t known the raccoon was there when I felt this. So what are y’all’s thoughts about this?
Are truth spells like a hex? I don’t want it to come back to me 3 folds.
Thank you
Edit: And a justice spell, will that come back to me 3 folds?
I know that overall, the benefits of practicing and maintaining rituals are unlike any other for wellbeing and identity.
So what are your reasons regarding the importance of ritual?
It's your daily chat thread, for all your random needs!
Literally the amount of toxicity and stupidity in the majority of the responces is actually very amusing
I stated somthing that most dis agree with. Wich is fine. I can talk with differences in mind and it not become a debate. I'm sorry but who hurt you? Like spredding hate like this for no reason just to down some one else... Wow that that's Really Wiccan of you… just saying… makes you seem more fake , being close-minded and selfish hmmm idk but if your getting mad at a different opinion on something as low as redit. Check your life priortts a bit I think you might know some people who think youve been missing since social media came out. Really you have nothing better to do then hide behind a screen. And down others. I wasn't speeding gate I just made a statement on an opinion iso happen to have. I pitty those cursed to be near your idiocy & I can only hope your not breeding. (will soon delete because this is stupid
