What is wiccan religion?

Just calling yourself Wiccan, doesn't make it so. It sounds as though he has only adopted a "label" for himself, rather than the peaceful nature religion.

It's not devil worship, Wiccans don't believe in the devil. But he doesn't sound Wiccan either.

It's like murderers who claim to be Christian. Their actions belie their words.

A polytheistic Neo-Pagan nature faith stimulated via quite a lot of pre-Christian western European ideals, whose crucial deity is a mom goddess and which entails the usage of natural magic and benign witchcraft. A institution or neighborhood of believers or fans of this faith. Most Christians won't admit this however so far as different religions pass Wicca isn't a nasty technique to reside. Some fundamental Christian ideas are from Wicca. As good as any other pre-christian practices. There is a ton of matters taken from the Pagans that Christians train on a day-to-day groundwork.

We, Wiccans, have nothing to do with Satan. In fact, we don't even believe in it's existence, that's a Christian thing. We worship nature and the Goddess and the God. Wicca is NOT evil, we have one rule that comes before all else 'Harm none, do as ye will'. We practice love and tolerance.

I respect you for wanting to learn before you speak. If only others would do the same what a great place this would be.

It's not black magic, it's basically nature worship and some incantations. It's actually a very nice religion, but then there are people who wouldn't give learning about any religion but their own the time of day because they feel that it's about who's right and who's wrong...

I'm not going to get into that.

Wicca = Nature Worship + Incantations 'n stuff

WAY less evil than Christianity.

Wicca is a very complex faith which embraces widely varying practices and many different Traditions. The following, however, is what I consider to be "the basics".

Wicca is about 60 years old, with roots in Masonic practices, ceremonial magic, and the Romantic era's ideas of classical religions. Its founder was a British civil servant named Gerald Gardner.

It is in many ways a postmodern faith, embracing religious relativism, and one that resonates powerfully for increasing numbers of people.

The central tenet of the Wiccan religion is the Wiccan Rede: "If you harm none, do what you will." This is a deceptively simple "commandment" which can take a lifetime to contemplate and to master. Many Wiccans also believe in the Law of Threefold Return, sometimes called the Rule of Three: “Whatever you do, for good or ill, will come back upon you three times over.”

Wiccans honor Deity as both male and female, God and Goddess -- or at the very least as Goddess. Many Wiccans believe that the universe is the body of God/dess, and therefore that all things contain Divine energy and that the world itself is sacred. Some Wiccans are polytheists (many God/desses); others are duotheists (God and Goddess, of whom all other Gods and Goddesses are simply aspects); others are monotheists (God and Goddess Themselves are simply aspects of an unknowable Source).

Wiccans generally do not believe that God/dess is separate from the world; therefore, we have no concept of salvation, since God/dess is present to all and always. Many Wiccans believe that God/dess is too big to fit inside one religion -- all religions/spiritual paths are ways of reaching the same goal, and atheism and agnosticism are honorable perspectives on the mystery of life.

Each Wiccan operates as their own priest/ess. We do not have a distinction between clergy and laity. Therefore, each Wiccan is responsible for their own personal development and for forging their own relationship with God/dess. Some Wiccans practice in covens, which are generally initiatory and require a long period of study (traditionally a year and a day) before entering. Others practice in loosely affiliated groups of solitaries, which are Wiccans who practice outside of traditional coven structure. Others simply practice alone.

Wiccans do not usually have churches. We create sacred space as and where needed, by casting "circles" of energy which function as temples. When inside those circles, we invite the spirits of the four Platonic elements (air, fire, water, and earth) to join us, as well as the Goddess and the God (or at minimum the Goddess).

Wiccans have celebrations which are timed to both the solar and lunar calendars. The solar festivals -- held at the solstices, the equinoxes, and four points in between them -- are called sabbats.

The lunar holy days are called esbats, and are held at the full moon each month, and sometimes at the new moon as well.

Many Wiccans practice witchcraft, which we see as working with the Divine energy that permeates the world to bring about change. In accordance with the Wiccan Rede, the vast majority of Wiccans will not curse or perform magic to bring harm upon anyone else.

If you're looking to do some reading, I'd recommend "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunningham, and "The Triumph of the Moon" by Ronald Hutton. I advise you to stay away from anything by Silver Ravenwolf, for reasons outlined in the following essay:

EDITED TO ADD: Reading through your other questions -- your husband doesn't sound like he adheres to the Wiccan Rede. Unfortunately all religions have members that fail to live up to the basic commandments of their faith. I wish you the best of luck.

Thats such a common misconception. Wiccan has nothing to do with black magic.

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiccan

It is devil worship. Checking it out is like examining rattlesnakes. Just don't even get too close to it. The only difference between white magic and black magic is the level of deception. They all get their power, and they do have power, from the devil.

Short answer - no, it isn't black magic.
