Wicca is a religion that is centered around reverence for nature as seen through the Goddess and God. It is a very ancient religion, it's roots in Shamanistic rites. Wicca is a religion of joy. It is a merging with nature and the Gods. It is celebrated in nature, not in a stuffy church .
Wiccans go into an alternate, or meditative state of mind. Quite like Buddhism . Here, they are more free to commune with the Goddess and God. This state of mind is acheived with chanting, meditation, invocations.
Our Gods are not distant. They do not reside in Heaven. They are in nature. In the mountain, the rivers, the rocks. In ourselves.
