Wicca - The Real or Fake

Zern, that still only applies if you believe that you are separate from this "higher self". Some people are less religious about it all and think that the physical self if the whole self. You are also continuously mentioning your own forum on those of others and something that is just not fair.

I agree with most of this post and it is very well written, but there are some aspects that some people would very much disagree with.

Wicca does not contain magick at all, wicca is a religion separate from magick and the practice of witchcraft. Although you can be a witch and wiccan, they are separate practices.

Yes vampire spells are fake as are the rest of the fantasy spell section and some of other sections. But telekinesis is also very much fake, it is impossible to move things with your mind.

Magick does not have a colour, it is the intent of the user that alters what kind of magick you are practicing.

Also from what I know, Wiccans worship the triple goddess and horned god, it is more Pagans (the varying types of such), that worship other gods and goddesses.

no its not a religion belief well yeah your right but i mentioned it to her because she will understand what i am saying because of her experience.

we all have free will if you dont understand it or your against it its ok if you dont accept it as i just said some will understand it and some will not

you may have peace within you

While I appreciate what you are trying to say there are so many things about Wicca in this post that are simply not true at all.

As you say, Wicca isn't about spells. In fact most Wiccans I know seldom do spellwork unless it is absolutely necessary. But spellwork has nothing to do with Wicca itself. Spellwork is a craft that anyone, even those not Wiccans can do.

Wiccans may use energy in their rituals, but they do not do telekinesis. Telekinesis like all forms of kinesis does not exist. That is a product of fantasy novels and Hollywood films.

Working with chakras comes from Eastern religions, not from Wicca. Some, but not all Wiccans, believe in the concept of chakras and work with them. Others do not.

All Wiccans are Witches. It doesn't mean that witchcraft is in your bloodline, but it does mean that Wiccans are Witches. In fact when Gerald Gardner first wrote about Wicca he referred to it as "The Witch's Cult"

There is no such thing at "white" or "black" magic. Magic is simply energy just as electricity is energy. You don't speak about "black" or "white" elecricity do you. What makes a difference is the intent of the person using the energy, not the energy itself.

Not all Wiccans work with spirit animals. Many in fact find it a terribly New Age concept. Nor do you work with "your Element". You don't have an Element, that is a concept made popular by the movie "The Craft". You are all the Elements, not just one.

The "true meaning" of Wicca has nothing to do with finding your inner self; although you may discover it on your journey. The purpose of Wicca is to honor the Lord and Lady and the Ancestors in order to turn the Wheel of the Year and bring fertility to the Earth.

I suspect that you have been led astray by many of the poorly written books on Wicca that litter store shelves these days. If I might suggest some books that you might find useful in learning about what Wicca really is I would suggest the following:

"The Meaning of Witchcraft" by Gerald Gardner

"The Witch's Bible" by Janet and Stewart Farrar

"Wicca" by Thea Sabin

"The Elements of Ritual" by Deborah Lipp

"Fifty Years of Wicca" by Fred Lamond.

I understand what you mean, @Lark. I just meant what Wicca means to me. I do not know everything about Wicca, but it's helped me find myself. Thank you for your input. :)

are you pertaining to lark when you said i understand what you mean? sorry just confuse lol

Well said, Lark! Why do these youngsters write posts about things they know nothing about?

Yes Zern. Haha.

I hate it when people try to turn Wicca into their fantasy style stuff of turning themselves into werewolves, dragons, and fairies, etc. These people need to learn that magic and wicca CANNOT turn you into these fantasy creatures!

I agree with everything you said, but some things are false.
