Wicca is a religious belief that originated from the oldest religion that exists to date. That religion is called Shamanism is what has been defined as the first religion. It existed prior to the earliest civilizations, before our ancestors took the first steps down the long journey to the present. Shamans were the medicine people, power weilders, and were male and female. Speaking with the spirits of nature.
From the shamans arose all types of religions including wicca. Despite the controversy of Wicca, it is of original rites. Unlike some religions, Wiccans do not view Deity as distant. Our goddess and God are both within ourselves and minifest in all of nature itself. We believe that there is nothing that isnt of the Gods.
A wiccans number one, and pretty much only rule is : "Harm None do what ye will"
So for those out there that believe that a person who is Wiccan will cast a harmful spell against you to harm you, Always remember our number one rule. As a True wiccan, Placing a harmful spell against someone would mean that the person claiming to be Wiccan, Well, Really isnt wiccan.
Allot of people out there claim it, they pretty much broadcast it. But they do not study it and learn that the things they are doing to others they should not be doing. It is against our beliefs, and of all rites included.
