Wicca simplified.
Wicca is about Earth more than anything. It is a very new religion with ancient roots. It is about feminism and nature. Some would give that a name like "Dianic Wicca" or "Goddess Worship" but that is a far reach.
Wicca sees deity in Earth/Nature as a living organism.
Wiccans are not usually creationists but follow what has become a modern scientific theory called the Gaia hypothesis which advances that the biosphere and the physical components of the Earth are closely integrated to form a complex interacting system that maintains the climatic and bio-geo-chemical conditions on Earth. In a word, "Life".
Each part of the system is crucial and in need of nurturing. All life is interdependent. A Wiccan tends to see that collective as a living deity of itself.
There is no mythical bearded 'God', "god" is everything of nature.
There is no mythical evil creature or evil deity (devil) in Wicca which is a huge departure from Christianity.
The Wiccan rede summarized in 8 words: "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will", covers morality. It's the "Ten Commandments", The Jewish "Sayings" and the "Wicca Rede" in summary: Do nothing that brings harm to anyone.
Themis Wiccan Creed -
Our Music's Ethics
- We of Themis shall not support anything in our music that would oppress, injure, torture, or kill other living beings.
- We encourage forsaking violence as a means of settling differences believing Earth cannot be changed for the better unless the consciousness of individuals is changed first.
- Knowing that music has great influence on human consciousness, particularly over the young, we pledge to increase our awareness by disciplining our own minds through education and by positive thinking.
- Each of us depends on the well-being of the whole and so we of Themis have respect for the community of living beings, for people, animals, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, the air, water and soil.
