Merry Meet and a warm welcome!
The Wiccan Guild of Queensland is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting, preserving, and practicing Wicca, as well as uniting the Queensland Wiccan community within a single body.
By the end of 1997, it was felt by many Wiccans that there was a strong need within Queensland for Wiccans to unite under a single banner. It was also felt that many groups calling themselves "Wiccan" are not entirely correct in their definition, and so some discussion was needed so as to universally define what it is to be Wiccan.
This proved very useful for future newcomers seeking the Path of the Wise, as they can now be confident in joining an authentic Wiccan Coven if that is what they seek.
Furthermore, Witchcraft is still outlawed in Queensland, and for this reason it was strongly agreed that if Wiccans wish to be recognised by the Government as a legitimant religion, they need to show that there is a consistency from Coven to Coven, and Solitary to Solitary.
For this to happen, it is imperative that all those calling themselves Wiccan , follow certain basic tenants and beliefs that define Wicca. This ideal is in no way designed to isolate Wiccans from other Pagans, however, it is designed to differentiate Wicca from other Pagan groups - as most are aware that "All Wiccans are Pagans, but not all Pagans are Wiccan".
The following is an outline of the original discussion that was held on what was thought to be decided. Please note that this is in no way a comprehensive list, and is open to future suggestions and ideas:
*Outline the basic beliefs, and Law of the Wicca, so as to adopt a more universal approach, and so everyone is clear on what the definition of Wicca is.
*Set up a "Wiccan Guild" for Queensland, which will represent all Wiccans who follow the Traditional path (see point one) of Wicca.
*Organise public Sabbats and other public Wiccan events in the future.
*Share thoughts and ideas to better all Wiccans in Queensland, including how to lobby the government on its laws pertaining to Witchcraft.
The contents below are what the WGQ sees as the basic guidlines "Wiccans" would abide by - the key word of course being "guidlines" - not rules. These and have been influenced by Scott Cunningham's writings and were felt by many to be a true reflection of Wiccan belief, however make your own descision.
