    I am glad that you are more interested in finding out what Wicca is about than judging it to be wrong or evil. You have already received good advice and note that there is So much information about this belief system on the internet and in book stores. My advice is to seek out many sources for each has its own slant or bias. This is not bad or wrong, but it is always good to get many sources when researching a subject. Also remember that one can be Wiccan and witch, but one can also be Wiccan and Not a witch. Witches are also not always Wiccan or Pagan.

    So keep an open mind, talk to your step son and let him share his personal thoughts and opinions with you.

    I hope you find the answer you seek and peace in your heart.

    Blessed Be

    Wicca became created interior the 1950's and is a blend of numerous pagan ideals plus another witchy kinds of stuff. on the different hand paganism many times refers to between the pre-Christian traditions, such because of the fact the classic Greek Gods, etc. it is plenty older yet in addition no longer all right documented and so lots of the fashionable revivals are in keeping with a undeniable quantity of wager-paintings. in my opinion, as a fashion to appreciate paganism, and all the different religions as nicely, you could desire to start up on the initiating during the learn of archeology and guy's oldest sort of spirituality... and notice how issues progressed from there. And by potential of an marvelous accident, it in order that hapens that I easily have an internet site that bargains with that very project. i will deliver you a link privately, and that i'm hoping you hit upon it powerful. advantages, Jean

    Wicca is a balanced faith. Generally, Wiccans honor both a male and a female diety, follow a simple and strong moral code, seek balance in their lives and accept a high degree of personal responsibility. Social justice and tolerance are important to many Wiccans.

    Many adult Wiccans tend to work in "helping" professions, such as nurses and doctors, firefighters and cops, various branches of the military, social work, teachers, counselors and the like.

    If you have any other specific questions, I'd welcome an email from you.

    Wicca was started in the 1970s by someone who was involved in a pissing contest between two other mystical lodges and felt left out. Nowadays it's been hijacked by femanazis and it useless as both an ethical and mystical system.

    Wicca is the counterpart to christianity. While christianity is all about a man, in wicca the woman (goddess) has authority.
