Diary of a Wiccan

Introduction

Merry meet! I'm Drae and as you know, I am Wiccan. I just want to go over what Wiccan means and what's the difference between Wicca, Witchcraft, and Paganism.

Wicca is an Earth based religion that lets its believers take their own path. Meaning, you can have two Wiccans that believe two very different things, but have the same basics. The basics (for me) start with the Threefold Law. It's like karma but instead of everything coming back to you once, it's three times. Then there's "An ye hurt none, do as ye will" which means "Don't hurt anyone and you can do what you want." Anyone being yourself, others, and animals. Some Wiccans decide that it's right for them to not eat meat to be able to fully follow that law. The last major thing (for me) is the Wiccan Rede. It states laws that each Wiccan should follow. Of course, not every Wiccan has to follow it, just like everyone who is a Christian doesn't follow the Old Testament.

Witchcraft is something some Wiccans (Pagans, too) practice. First thing I'm going to say about this is: it's real. You may not believe in it, but it does work. Witchcraft is based on energy and intentions. Good energy plus good intentions equals "white" magick. Bad energy plus bad intentions equals "black" magick. I personally think magick is magick, we as people decide how it's used.

Paganism is an umbrella term for any religion that is not Abrahamic. If you don't know, an Abrahamic religion is a religion founded by Abraham. Such as Christianity, Judaism, etc. Paganism (as far as I know) is everything else. Buddhism (I know some people consider it more of a life style, but some consider it a religion), Hinduism, and many others.

Anyway, this is my book and I can't wait to share my experiences with you guys.

Blessed be!
