Tarot: This part will be up soon.
Hi and Welcome to my site. My name is Aurora Rose and I hope you find some useful information. There is different kinds of information on here so it's not just one topic. First off I would like to say a big thank you to our troops. Without them I would not have the freedom to do anything I like to do.
Ok I'm not a big expert on witchcraft but check it out to see what information I have. I got this information from varies books and web sites. They are credited on some but some are not cause I couldn't remember where I got the information. Basically I have what I have learned.
I love Dragons. So I adopted two of them. One is here and the other is on my other site and the link is provided here too. I am a cat person, so I researched cats and witchcraft. This is what I found.
So you know I'm really into Dragons, so I was happy when I found information on Dragons and magic. So here is what I have. You will notice that Dragons are a running topic for me. In fact, I have four Dragon tattoos and I plan on getting Dragons wings on my back. I have 3 elemental (fire, earth, water...air is next to be done soon) Dragons and the Japanese Symbol for Dragon.
What is Wicca:
First of
all, Wicca and witchcraft are not the same thing.
Fundamentally,
Wicca is a modern-day religion based on pre-Christian religious practices.
Wicca was
founded by Gerald
Gardner back in the early '50s. We don't deny that it is a new religion,
but the basis for our beliefs goes back thousands of years. Besides, even
Christianity was new at one time.
Some
Misconceptions:
 | Wiccans
worship Satan
- The figure of Satan is part of the Christian mythos, and those of us who
do not follow Christianity, do not accept the existance of this character.
|
| Wiccans
engage in ritual orgies
- This misconception may have arisen from the practice of doing ritual in
the nude.
Not all Wiccans practice this way, and there is nothing sexual about it. |
| Wicca
is only for women
- Wicca has attracted a great number of women because of the focus on the
Goddess. But Wicca is open to everyone, male or female. |
| Wicca
has no rules
- This little untruth is often used by our detractors to show that we must
live wild and unrestrained lives. We may not have books of commandments to
bind our lives, but most Wiccans do follow one single law: Harm None.
Those two words have as much power as an entire book of rules. |
| Wiccans
cast spells and hexes to control people - If we really did this, Wiccans would all be wealthy and we
would not suffer from discrimination. We believe that for every action,
there is a re-action, and that includes using magick for negative manner.
Wiccans don't believe in a punishing God, but we do think that bad actions
will come back and bite us in the butt. |
| Wicca
is a cult that is trying to recruit people - Wiccans believe that each individual's path of
spirituality is valid, and no one path is better than any other. We do not
convert or recruit anyone. Proselytizing
is not a practice we follow. |
Real Facts About Wicca:
| Wicca
is an Earth-centered religion
- We don't necessarily worship the Earth, but we do hold it sacred,
and celebrate the cycles and the seasons. |
| Wicca
is polytheistic
- Not all Wiccans follow precisely the same path when it comes to Deity,
but typically we believe in multiple Gods
and Goddesses often taken from different cultures and time periods.
Many Wiccans will work with 1 or 2 Deities, rather than worshipping the
entire gamut. |
| Wiccans
do practice magick
- Magick and spells are part of our religion. This sometimes seems
far-fetched to those who don't understand. Forget every magick spell
you've ever seen on TV or in the movies. Magick is nothing more than
utilizing the energy that exists around us in nature. It's a delicate art
that takes time, study and practice to master. We don't spend our days
casting spells willy-nilly. |
| Wiccans
do gather in covens
- The media has made this sound more sinister than it really is. A coven
can be any number of people (not just 13), and involves a group of Wiccans
who gather regularly for ritual, magick, study and celebration. It's not
that mysterious at all. Many Wiccans are not part of any coven, and folks
who work alone are called 'solitaries'. |
