| Wicca, Shedding Light on the Dark Arts Have you ever had an interest in the dark arts? Maybe you wanted to conjure a demon or cast a spell on your worst enemy. We are all intrigued by the idea of witchcraft and magick. We all wonder if there is a supernatural realm out there, beyond the physical plane that we know so well. If you are curious, you can find a great deal of information about wicca for beginners on the World-Wide-Web. ____________________________________________________________________ Underground Witchcraft Crourse! Learn about witchcraft, wicca, and casting spells! ____________________________________________________________________ If you do a little intelligent research on-line about wicca for beginners or witchcraft, magick and the dark arts, you will probably be surprised at how un-sinister the whole subject is. The images of witches hiding out in dungeons, stirring black pots of foul-smelling potions and flying around on broomsticks are largely fictional creations promoted by the Church in medieval times (and by television and Hollywood in modern times) to discredit pagan practices that were not in line with Church teachings (and that did not contribute to the Church's candle-selling revenue stream). By studying wicca for beginners, you will find that wicca is one thread of a much larger net that includes many pagan and earth-centered religions and practices. Practitioners of wicca respect the natural cycles of creation that govern the interactions of all life and non-life in the universe. Some wiccans (and probably many dabblers in wicca for beginners) believe that certain practices, chants, and potions can influence natural events (majick), but these activities are almost always engaged in for good purposes, not for bringing death and destruction down on the heads of enemies. Many wiccans and other pagans believe that their religious practices were once followed by all of humanity before they were systematically crushed by the rising power of the monotheistic religions. Vestiges of pagan worship remain in modern Christianity. It is no coincidence that Easter is timed by the phases of the moon and that Christmas falls very near the winter solstice. Wicca for beginners is a good way to learn to live in harmony with the earth, which may not be such a frightening idea for twenty-first century humanity! Return to Want2KnowWhat.com |
