The Wicca is an fertility religion, a religion of nature.
This religion is fundamentally different of nature than the "revalation-religions", like Christianity, Islam or Judaism.
They are also known as experience religion, characteristic of the presents of holy writings, prophets, patriarchal organisation and the urge for mission work.
In 1951, the old religion recained interest. Other words for Wicca are Witchcraft or the Craft and Pagist. Pagus means land, a pagan is someone who lives of the land, and a follower of the religion of the land.
Witch is derived from the old english word Wicca: a wise man or woman who helps people with the help of natural and supernatural knowledge.
People who believe in Wicca, worship the Goddess, the Goddess of the moon, in her treble aspect of Virgin, Mother and Wise Woman and the God, the lord of life and death.
The Godess and God are a two unity, although the Goddess, the female aspect, is being underlined in many groups. Both are known as: Isis en Osiris, Pan en Diana, Zeus en Hera, Odin en Freya, Shiva eb Shakti. The popularity of the priest and priestess, of God an Goddess creates an immens forcefield, a resevoir, that can be used to help others.
Karma en Reïncarnation are very important part of Wicca and like many other religions, Wicca has a liferule: Do what you want as long as you do not hurt anybody or anything.
Being responsible for yourself is very important because eventually all your deeds, good or bad, come back to you with treble force.
But most of all, Wicca is a happy religion, full of life, excititement and mystic.
