"Wicca" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Wicca is a modern, nature-based, witchcraft movement that was founded in the mid-20th century by Gerald Gardner. It is often referred to as a new age form of witchcraft. The basic tenets of Wicca include:
1. Monotheism: Belief in a single, all-encompassing deity or Goddess.
2. Polytheism: Belief in multiple deities, often with both masculine and feminine principles.
3. Reincarnation: Belief in the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth.
4. Harmony with nature: Emphasis on living in balance and harmony with the natural world.
5. Ritual magic: Use of magic rituals and spells to bring about personal growth and positive change.
6. Solitary practice: Many Wiccans practice their faith alone, without the need for a formal coven or community.
Wiccans often celebrate eight major Sabbats (seasonal festivals), which are:
1. Yule (Winter Solstice)
2. Imbolc (Spring Equinox)
3. Ostara (Spring equinox)
4. Beltane (May Day)
5. Litha (Summer Solstice)
6. Lammas (Harvest Festival)
7. Mabon (Autumn Equinox)
8. Samhain (Halloween)
The Wiccan Creed is often recited as: "It is by will we do, what we choose to do."
