Wicca Tradition Archives

Those new to Wiccan Magick Spells will often wonder what basic supplies, or tools they will need.  This is always a very personal decision, as Wiccans believe that there is a spiritual essence in the universe, that is not dependent on how many different tools you have.  The most important thing is how you use the tools that you do have.

As a beginner to Wicca, or Wicca spells, you have to stop and ask yourself what a few of those new Wicca supplies are for. What exactly are you supposed to do with all of those altar tools, or altar supplies that you have now, or are about to buy?

That’s a good question, since so many people new to the craft tend to be solitary practitioners. There aren’t established buildings that you would go and congregate with other priests and priestesses. How do you know what you really need, if you don’t know what you’ll be using these items for?

Wiccan Rede – Advice of the Wise

Although Wicca is a representation of witchcraft, not all Wiccans are truly practicing witches.  It’s possible to be Wiccan and not use Magick Spells, and it’s also possible to use Magick Spells and not be Wiccan.  Of course, it is possible to be both a practicing Witch and a Wiccan.

All Wiccans learn to act responsiblyin their  lives, and to always think for themselves, thereby strengthening their own personal power.  Wiccans are also taught to live always by the Wiccan Rede, which should be considered  the so-called golden rule of Wicca – An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will.

How do Wiccans Worship? What are Wiccan Tools?

How Do Wiccans Worship? Wiccans base their primary observances on what is referred to as ‘The Wheel of the Year’. This ‘Wheel’ contains eight times in each year where the changes of the seasons are celebrated by Ritual to pay tribute for the gifts and opportunities inherent in each season. Examples include the asking for protection and needs to be meet during winter months, the ‘calling forth’ of spring (seed and planting time), and giving thanks for crop abundances in the autumn.

What Are “Wiccan Tools” and Why Are They Used? During festivals, Wiccans use ritual tools to assist them with their performances. These include athames, wands, chalices, bowls, candles, and pentacles. Most all of these items correlate with an element of nature, and each has a specific purpose to aid in rituals – which are often performed to portray the roles which Divine Spirits play in interacting and impacting our daily lives. Wiccans also use divination tools, such as crystal balls, pendulums, and Tarot cards for seeking spiritual advice and gaining insight into the future.

Wicca is Not Witchcraft – Believe in the Divine Spirit

Wicca is often mistaken for Witchcraft. Actually, Wicca is a religious faith all of its own. What usually surprises people even more is that Wicca is a very loving religious practice, one that prompts its followers to adhere to strict ethics and high morals. Summed up, these ethics convey the Wiccan Law of “Harm None”, which enforces those of Wiccan faith to be ever so mindful of their daily actions and resulting effects, and their interactions with mankind, animals, and the world in which we live.

Wicca incorporates a combination of religious beliefs and practices in its studies. These include; Eastern Philosophy, Mystical Quabalah, and old European traditions. From Eastern Philosophy, Wicca derives its belief system of Cause and Effect, Karma and Reincarnation. The Quabalah lends its principles of Spiritual Evolution through ‘path-working’, as well as Esoteric Knowledges. And, from European tradition Wicca receives its passions and understandings of nature and many of its Deities.

Each of the points stands for an element; Air, Water, Earth, Fire and Spirit. Spirit, of course is the at the top of the star. The eastern point represents air, the western point is water, south is fire and north is the earth.
