Top Ten Best Things About Being Wiccan
NOTE A Wiccan, as defined in this article, is one who
wishes to live in harmony and serenity with the
earth and all her inhabitants, and abides by the
Wiccan Rede.
10. No conversion or recruitment is necessary. Wiccans
have no insecure compulsion to convert everyone to
their way of thinking. People come to Wicca when
they're ready. Furthermore you are not required to
accept or do anything you're not comfortable with.
9. No artificial code of morality. Out of all the
creatures on this earth, only humans are forced to
live under unnatural moral codes. Wiccans believe
simply, "An it harm none, do as you will."
8. Progressive reincarnation. Wiccans believe we
are here to learn and progress, not suffer eternal
damnation if we "slip up" in someone else's eyes.
7. No discrimination. You don't have to be the "right"
race, color, gender, sexual orientation, or national
or
ethnic origin to be Wiccan; all are welcome.
6. No middle man (or woman). Once you know the basics,
you can be your own minister. You need never bow
before (or rely on) some religious dictator for
spiritual guidance, you go straight to the source.
5. Be yourself. By sharing a common interest with
others in Wicca, you do not lose your identity as an
individual. You are unique and can and should stay
that way without becoming a blob in homogeneous mass.
4. No repression. Wiccans are not forbidden from
reading, learning, eating, drinking, or saying
anything. You can actually even disagree with
something without being "excommunicated."
3. Contribution. No, not money - knowledge. The Craft
has always, and will always, be an experimental
religion. If it works, we use it. Then share it so all
in the Craft may benefit.
2. No rigid dogma. Wiccans do not believe that their
path is the only path. The only true path is the
one that is best for you; and all paths are valid if
they harm none.
1. Self-empowerment. I personally view Wicca as the
"Ultimate Self Help Tool." Feeling under the weather?
low on cash? need to get ahead at work? protection?
spiritual guidance? serenity? Whatever you need you
can get through Wicca.- found on the Internet
