Wiccan

a wiccan is a member of the pagan-revivalist religion known as wicca. can be a male or female pract-tioner or lay-follower, either solitarily (on their own) or members of a coven (group). see wicca for more details on the religion and its practices.
1) i didn’t know that the pentagram she was wearing meant she’s a wiccan

2) wiccans are generally very nice people, if you’re playing nice…

3) that wiccan on tv is a sad portrayal of the craft and does little to relieve interreligious tensions.
a follower of the neo-pagan religion wicca. wiccans are polytheistic nature worshippers. they worship a ‘moon’ goddess and horned god. they observe 8 sabbats, samhain, yule, imbolc, ostara, midsummer, beltane, mabon and lammas. they are based off of seasonal changes and harvests which also repersent changes in their god and goddess.

wiccans are not evil, and generally do not do ‘bad’ magic, they follow the rule of three (belief that what ever you do comes back to you three times as bad or good depending on what it was you did).

in some respects wicca is a old religion, as it is the revival of religions that perished when christianity was spread like a plague through out europe, but wicca as we know it now didn’t show up until the nineteen-hundreds.
wiccans are followers of wicca
wicca is one of many neo pagan traditions based off of the old religion in england, ireland and scotland where many looked to an earth g-ddess/ fertility g-ddess and a hunter g-d. wicca may well be one of the oldest religions in the world. cave paintings 30,000 years old show a man with a stag head( g-d ) and a pregnant woman (goddess) encircled by 11 people. 13 makes up the ideal coven.
“bide the wiccan law ye must,
in perfect love and perfect trust.
eight words the wiccan rede fulfill”
an’ye harm none, do what ye will.
what ye send forth comes back to thee
so ever mind the law of three.
follow this with mind and heart,
merry ye meet, and merry ye part.
my heart and prayers to all those who are ignorant of this beautiful religion.
a follower of wicca is called a wiccan.
i know people like to be funny, and they usually are, but wiccans are not just harry potter fans, we are also not jewish, yes many are just goth posers who thing they can take ‘revenge on society’ for preforming black magic, which isn’t wicca. some of us actually know about our religion. like me, i spent six months researching wicca before i converted because i wanted to know what i was worshiping. we only take offense when people call us evil because we aren’t, how would you like it if we were all “you’re catholic, you murderer, you are all murderers, you burned people.” you would take offense, because your not all evil, yes some p-ssy -ss morons join wicca and are all “ya now i’m gunna kill everyone yay!” but that’s because they are -sshats.
omg, your a wiccan, then turn me into a cat!
sorry, we aren’t like that, you should research.
oh, sorry.
someone who clearly doesn’t understand that urban dictionary is meant to be funny, and makes entries trying really really hard to make sure everyone knows how peaceful and loving wicca is and how they aren’t really satan worshipers, srsly. this is true of course, as wiccans worship dirt and trees rather than the devil. they also think they can perform magic.

most wiccans know very little about their religion. they are attracted to it because it claims to be peaceful, yet they are unaware that it’s largely based on ancient celtic religions that used to burn people alive as sacrifices. they also lack the logic to see that a billion different religions can’t all be true, so it makes very little sense to borrow from a ton of them.

the wicca religious population is made up mostly of fat women and angsty teenagers with semi-goth style and a longing for attention. many like to go to school wearing their ceremonial robes, which are actually strictly made for formal occasions according to wiccans who actually know stuff. they thrive on people looking at them funny, so they can chuckle to themselves about how ignorant they are or go and yell at them for being “narrow minded bigots.” they’re also ridiculously politically correct about themselves and will get extremely offended by just about anything (like halloween), but won’t hesitate to insult other religions like christianity or judaism.

in short, wicca is a stupid fad which should die out soon enough.
“what’s with that girl over there? she’s fat, wears robes, looks like a goth, and is going on about magic and edward cullen and some horned god. she also thinks magic is spelled with a ‘k’.”

“oh, that’s just margaret the wiccan.”
from wicca: the way of the wise.
is someone who worships nature for salvation practicing white magic, medicinal healing, and spiritualism. wiccan theology can be vast, but many are either duotheists, pantheists, or soft polytheists. the belief in an afterlife depends on the individual, but many believe that through positive reincarnation you’ll be granted a heaven called the “summerland” (better existence on earth or another world), and through bad reincarnation a h-ll (lesser existence on earth). the rede is: an’ye harm none, do what ye will.
the path was developed around the late 1950’s by gerald gardner: a british anthropologist & freemason who was also some big buff on aleister crowley.
one who follows the path of wicca is a wiccan.
a wiccan is not a satanist. in fact, we do not even believe in “satan” we are smart enough to know that we are all responsible for our own actions. some do claim that we preform sacrifices and put curses on people. i’m terribly sorry, but this is a lie. we accept everyone’s choice in life, and what deity they choose to follow. sometimes we are recognized by wearing a pentacle around our neck {pentagrams are usually upside down and refer to satanists} by having a free spirit and being down to earth. different wiccans practice different forms of magic {or magick} such as rituals, potions, and spell casting. none of these involve harm {unless dark magic is used} and can actually help many people. many do not accept the wiccan life, because most fear what they cannot control.
ohmigosh, that wiccan cast a spell on me and now i feel sick!
um, wiccans don’t use magic for evil.
oh… it must have been something i ate then.
