	Wicca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wiccans may worship a Goddess and/or a God; they observe the festivals of the eight Sabbats of the year and the full-moon Esbats; and they have a code of ethics that most live by.
		It is commonly understood that most Wiccans worship two deities: the Goddess, often associated with Gaea or Mother Earth, and her consort the God (sometimes known as the Horned God).
		In typical rites, the Wiccans assemble inside a magic circle, which is marked using various means, in a ritual manner followed by a cleansing and then blessing of the space.

		Many Wiccan traditions hold that the ideal number of members for a coven is thirteen, though this is not held as a hard-and-fast rule.{{citation needed}} When covens grow beyond their ideal number of members, they often split (or "hive") into multiple covens, yet remain connected as a group.
		Some Wiccans wear a pure cotton robe, to symbolise bodily purity, and a cord, to symbolise interdependence and rank.{{citation needed}} Others wear normal clothes or whatever they think is appropriate.
		Wiccan celebrant George Cameron ("The Hermit"), Grand Master of the Source Coven said: This is the most important event since the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951.

	Patricia Crowther - WiccanWeb.ca
		Born as Patricia Dawson in Sheffield, her great grandmother of Brittany was an herbalist and a clairvoyant, who also told fortunes.
		It was in 1956, when flying to a summer engagement, which she had taken on the Isle of Wight, Patricia met Arnold Crowther, a stage magician and ventriloquist who was to perform in the same show as she.
		During the rite, Patricia had a profound and powerful trance experience in which she envisioned herself as being reborn into the priesthood of the Moon Mysteries, initiated by a line of howling, naked women who passed her, gauntlet-style, through their spread legs.

		As early as 890 A.D. the word "wiccan" was used to identify witches "in the Laws of King Alfred." In short, changing the name from witch to wiccan is an attempt at historical revisionism.
		Wiccans have told me over and over again that Wicca is the world's oldest religion and that Wicca is older than Christianity.
		But it seems that some Wiccans are finally coming out of the closet and preparing the way for the acceptance of human sacrifice within their ranks.

	Fay's Wicca for Beginners FAQs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		It's amazing the number of Wiccans you start to meet once you really get into your studies and start recognizing the "signs" of other Wiccans (their jewelry and whatnot.) Most likely you'll find someone who is Wiccan and begin talking with him or her, and soon they'll become your "teacher".
		Any good Wiccan knows that everyone will have different opinions and no one opinion or idea about spirituality, the deities, etc is any more valid than the other is. Some well-informed Gardnarians and Traditionalists do occasionally come off sounding that way, but just take their "musts" and "always" with a grain of salt.
		While some Wiccans enjoy Christian-bashing among themselves, arguing with a Christian family member or friend that their religion oppressed the much longer standing female traditions from which Wicca is based is not a good way to win them over.

		Cunningham has written a book for the Wiccan who is solitary either because s/he knows no existing local compatible covens, or because s/he has no compatible person with whom to practice Wicca.
		Cunningham discusses specific Wiccan beliefs and goals: belief in the Goddess and God; concern for the Earth; social consciousness; and the right not to be dominated by others.
		His approach allows the solitary Wiccan to support community activities compatible with Wiccan goals while not being dominated by religious dogma.

	Internet Book of Shadows: wiccan Monism (Durwydd MacTara)
		The Diary Of A Witch High Priestess!" by Patricia Crowther in chapter four (paperback edition 1974, House Of Collec- tibles, Inc.).) Courtesy of David Piper The Gawain Poet (the poet who wrote Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in Middle English) used the term 'Dryghtyn' to refer to the Lord God.
		The existence of Monism, Duotheism, and Polytheism simultaneously in the belief structure of Wicca is one good example of one of the Five Mysteries of Wicca, that of Union.
		Wicca is a mystery religion, a PARTICIPATORY religion, and much of its symbology must be lived and practiced to have meaning because much of the real (some say hidden meaning is based on the knowledge of experience and not the intellec- tual knowledge of mere logic and conscious thought processes.

		Not very Wiccan (cynics among us would say that that's because it was written before Gardner formulated Wicca; others would say simply because it's before he was initiated), but interesting because of the author.
		Not Wiccan, but a good literary novel which uses the term ‘Wicca’; to dig at ultra-feminist causes (at least that’s my reading of it).

		I particularly found their writings on the advantages of being culturally specific and having the dedication to learn the language of the culture whose Gods they revere to be especially interesting.
		Their essay on the various Kinds of Witchcraft is thorough and well-recommended, and their writings on the Wiccan Rede and Wiccan ethics are also quite good..
		This essay is about the current trend in many Wiccans to be all "light and love" (this is sometimes referred to as "Fluffy Bunny New Age Wicca" or "Bambi Wicca"), and how this denial of the darker aspects of Wicca is detrimental to our religion and indeed not in keeping with our philosophy of balance.
