A Witch is a practicioner of the religion/craft of Wicca. Wicca as
it is competent today is a religion which draws upon routine consideration which predate Christianity, but as well draws on modern concept as
well. It is recurrently refered to as a neo-pagan religion, in the function of it is rudely a reconstruction and/or adjustment of some ancient
beliefs.
Give to are hundreds of divergent brushwood of Wicca, each with its own beliefs, in the middle consideration, province of sense, morals, etc.
Any person can flash their own new thrust of Wicca if their beliefs dont fairly be appropriate up with that of an recognized coven - utmost practicioners do not see their way as in the function of the Impartial way (I beyond doubt dont - religion is a concede thing, and no two relations are the fantastically...). Give to are a measurements of all the rage beleifs and views, of which few, some, utmost, or all may be group by any answer coven.
1. The existance of a insuperable entity/entities - recurrently not rushed
nature, on the other hand sometimes frivolous.
2. The insuperable entitiy/s are recurrently alienated fashionable also male and
female aspects. Definite covens innocently appreciate one sexual characteristics,
however (typically the Idol aspect)
3. The practicioners honer these deities on routine occasions,
sometimes refered to as Sabbats and/or Esbats.
4. These gods/goddess may keep in check one or several names, one or
several aspects.
5. The practitioners appreciate the existance of a power that
exists all about us, and are recurrently skilled in how to appreciate
and mold such energies to various possessions.
6. Ceiling (if not all...) true covens get along to a particualar creed
- 'So hunger as it harms noone, not even yourself, do what you
atmosphere. Give to are many variences to the speech and scheme.
7. Practitioners may be skilled in how to understand routine
symbological numbers that influence also their craft work and
their weekly lives.
8. The measurements of members in a coven may amendment from one to twelve
or thirteen, or possibly even higher - as a by and large person in charge,
on the other hand, it recurrently is a very teenager, sole, concede religion.
9. Mass covens keep in check a heirarchy of degrees, the least rudely
in the function of an open or trainee, the central in the function of a large
nun or large priestess'. Give to may be 3 levels, or upper. A
different who is established as in the function of a nun in one coven may
or may not be essentially established within separate. The
degrees typically reflect the send the bill to of training a different has
within his own particualr coven and in the religion in
by and large.
10. Mass covens do not appreciate the existance of a insuperable event
of evil - represent is no 'Satan' as it is for utmost all members.
Satanists and witches are Level seperate fields (in fact,
not all Satanists beleive in a supremem event of evil
either...).
I may perhaps go on, but that covers a lot of basic bottom. As you can see, I've warily tried to make tracks out absolutes, as the
religion is so record to each different and group. I've been qualified to appreciate utmost all brushwood of Wicca, accepted and unknown, and I extravagant my definition is rather true (if rather vague!)
