WIKKA CULTURE

The wikka movement is retained a continuation of the Witch-cult.

Wicca means religion of the nature, and it is considered a modern form of paganism. It is originally from England, and it is a pretty flexible religion, which does not include a central authority. A goddess, called Moon Goddess / the Mother and a god, called Horned God or Dio Cervo, are the most important divinities, but wikkans are free to believe to a several amount of gods and goddesses too. Wicca are against violent rituals, like sacrifices, and do not practice evil spells. They believe magic never has to be used to do bad things and they prefer to focus their energies in positive and harmless rituals like celebrating the spring, honorating the Mother, healing people, purification and so on. They familiarized with natural remedies, such as herbs, home made incences, essential oils and crystals, in order to heal people or theirself from phisical or and  mental / spiritual illness ( they believe the soul and the spirit can get ill too ), incorporating mystical practices like special prayers, runes, dances, witch circle, and many other things, law of attraction, intuition, visualization, and so many other things, in the hope to get rid of bad energies, demons and pain.

They have to know many things, and it takes decades to them to finally call theirself wikkans and no more apprentices.

I follow a group of wikkans and aspiring wikkans on facebook as I love to read the stories and legends they share, which are very deep and dreamy, and their testimoniances about supernatural experiences. I do not necessarely believe everything they say, but the way they see life still pretty fascinating for me, read a few books about them because finding it quite interesting! Some people call them fools, however I do believe the world should have a better connection with nature in these modern times, so I totally support them. Some people accused them to work for the devil but it is only ridiculous disinformation. History tell us witches were tortured and burned by Christians, which believed they were the daughters of the Devil. Even today, often people would naturally associate the word witch with evil.
