its confusing christians and all the religion who follow the bible say theyre demons pretending to be good, and the wiccans says theyre good but there are bad.. urr so hard to understand how these things work, but i guess inside i belive more in the bible because im pissing myself here
I am interested in the structure this woman speaks of. It's one of the more hierarchical structures I've heard of. There are so many versions which I like. I like the idea of a faith being adaptable to a group or individual.
But I would have said the one rule in Wicca is you do not harm others. Ever. Not physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. "An it harm none do what ye will".
And oh my heart goes out to Barbara and anyone else who has lost a child. It is the saddest thing ever!
I ask the Lady and the Lord, for the sincerest blessing for her Daughter. And for her and her son to cope with the loss, and that they may find peace.
I was raised in a Christian household, saved at 17..but my ENTIRE life I've been interested in Paganisim, and when I found Wicca I studied. never "converted" , for lack of a better term..But the main reason I studied it was to understand it. I keep an open mind and try to learn as much as I can. because in my opinion, closed minds should come with closed mouths. I have a few friends who are Wiccan as well. But I do feel a strong connection to Wicca. Blessed be to you all :)
@TheDixielandDiva Good for you. Reading is good and I do the same thing. There are some great sites around and good books too. I'm trying to set up a network for people like us. A way to connect with others and have honest discussions about such things. Even if that discussion leads you somewhere else. :)
I think that this is so beautiful and interesting! I'm a Unitarian Universalist with my roots in Christianity, but what she does is so interesting. I'm also from NJ so that helps. haha
Do people in England/Ireland actually wear cloaks, or is this outfit just a Wicca thing? Or an eccentric thing? I would love to wear a cloak, but it, sadly, kind of falls under antiquated clothing...not modernly acceptable...
@in2ennui Where to begin. Hmmm. People nowadays rarely wear cloaks in public (not exactly the "fashion" of the year). Not only Wiccans wear cloaks. I am a Celtic Shamanic practitioner, and I wear a cloak (I'll tell you where soon), though many Pagans choose to go skyclad, or naked in ritual. I would recommend that you wear a cloak at night in a non-urban area, so few if any people will notice. Now, my cloak was bought from gryphonsmoon(dot)com, for $60 - it's the cheapest I've ever seen online.
@celticbattleaxe Its unfortunate people don't wear them anymore... Unfortunately, I live in the city and it would be ridiculous to visit remote locations just so I can wear a cloak! I do appreciate the information though, it is very kind of you:)
@in2ennui Well, people do - but only some Witches, Wiccans, Shamans, etc. A good portion go skyclad in ritual, but yes; in public, I have yet to see ANYONE wear a cloak (except as Halloween paraphernalia). I am fortunate to live in a fairly rural area, with a 900 acre Nature preserve in my front yard, and relatively few people around. But hey, if you ever become part of a coven, feel free to where one - if, of course, they allow it (some do, some don't).
@in2ennui The info took me awhile to find myself, and I had to do some digging to find the cheapest prices for the highest quality. I couldn't believe that Gryphonsmoon was selling them at about half the price of most other sites, so naturally, I snagged one myself :). $60 is quite a nice deal.
@in2ennui Many other sites will sell equally good robes and cloaks, but at a much higher price. Gryphonsmoon is the cheapest I've seen. Anyhow, my cloak is reversible, green-black, with intricate Celtic knots and a pentagram in the middle (on both sides). There is also a blue-black variety for the same price, if you like. You could also resort to making one yourself, though I suck at making such things - I figured that out the hard way :)

@ghosthunter135 You'd be dead wrong there boss. It was invented by Gardener, as a mix and mash of lots of elements from various different traditions. There was no Wicca before Gardener.
@billymagfhloinn Well then, sorry if my comments offended you somehow. All that I am stating is what is known to me as fact. Watch 'Wicca Traditions' by OathBoundSecrets and you'll see what I mean.
@billymagfhloinn Most untrue and unreached piece of info EVER. Wicca (in various forms) can be traced back before history. Shesh. Ever read these things called books?
@barrow29 at the time, "the Christ" which itself is poorly adapted from another Latin word (roughly translated means-"chosen one" and was not his actual last name) and his followers were seen as a new pagan cult. To the Romans, if you didn't worship Zeus and his crew, you were a pagan. Christianity has not been the ruling religion throughout history. It was only after the Christians all but destroyed the other religions that the Roman pantheon became considered a pagan religion.
@ghosthunter135 That would be misleading. Wicca was created from ideas, pieces of occidental magick, Crowley's smanderings and a few other things. Wicca did not exist until the 50's. There were smaller pagan practitioners and such but not Wicca as it is officially. It was not the religion of the Celts or anything.
@latexima thats where you are wrong, Wicca *the name* was ctreated in the 50's yes BUT witchs...pagans was 1000's & 1000's years older so there for your created ideas that you claim that Wicca was is wrong.
@ghosthunter135 No, it was CREATED in the 50's, by Gerald Gardner, and likely heavily influenced by Alistair Crowley. Wicca is new. Ancient Paganism is not. Regardless, that is irrelevant; if an individual finds meaning and happiness within Wicca, why does it matter that it's less than 100 years old? The purpose of a faith should be to enrich and invigorate one's life; the age of that faith doesn't matter if it fulfills the purpose.
@greysquare7 Perhaps we should say this FORM was set up in the 50's. It changes continually and is different for every person so I'm not sure we could say "Wicca was created in the 50's", just one form of it was. :) I am interested Wicca because it's so adaptable.
The story about Barbara's daughter brought me to tears, that girl was so pretty and still so young. And to me it is so true that in such times of need to find the stength in your religion. I hope it helped her to know that her Child is with the Goddess now, who is a mother herself and that she found comfort in the mother's loving arms herself. And ofc the God too for he too knows about the circle of life and death.
Mistletoe and Pumkins are far older than Wicca, which was created in the 1950's but I guess you mean that they have pagan roots. And you are right most Wiccan do respect other people with other faiths but there are also some that feel grudge against Christians, especially if they left Christianity and became Wicca. I have to say, I was one of them when I first started in 2002 and laft Christianity myself. But with the time I evolved and now I can easily accept them even if they do not accept me
I believe that anyone should be able to celebrate any religion they want to, no matter what it is. Now I don't see any of the people in Wicca being cross or be harsh to people who are Jewish or Catholic or any other religion. Even if you aren't a Witch or in Wicca, you should practice this one aspect of Wicca. We do things that came through Wicca without even knowing it. Mistletoe, putting out pumpkins on Halloween, that all came from Wicca. So learn what you are talking about before you judge.
@BudsPeter44 Wicca DOES'NT worship the devil. Its witchcraft that does. Wicca is all about God and the environment. You really need to do more research.
Well, witchcraft is often used in Wicca. By Wiccan definition witchcraft is the craft of working in harmony with our Earth. Even growing plants is witchcraft :) But I definitely agree with you, it's so annoying when people tell us what's wrong with our "devil-worshipping" religion. Why would they even start such an argument when as soon as they say that it proves how little they know ? Blessed be, :) xo
how funny,she said it would be easy to be Christian and go with the will of God ! I can see why she turned Wicca,she had no clue on how to be a Christian.
@BudPeters44 Explain to me this, why do you come here and insist on posting several comments about a video when you don't believe in it? You're not spreading God's word. You're spreading hatred and annoyance. So please stop. Thank you.
@BudPeters44 u noe ... the more i see what christians comment , the more i think god is weird n a jerk... hmmm ... and christians keep changing the bible so that they can say god made this n that ...
@d3vilnaruto why bother reading it then lol..soon you will will have a reason to say that..like when your begging him for mercy and he cannot hear you cause you waited to long to realize how stuck on ignorant and willing ignorant you are..peace
Don't say it's "funny why she turned Wicca, she had no clue on how to be Christian." Because you know what else is just pretty damn HILARIOUS? How much you are ranting, preaching, and commenting about what's so "wrong" about Wicca, when you have no clue how to be Wiccan.
Now Picture yourself in Hell Screaming in pain and suffering/Heat unbarable and no one hears your screams..Anton Lavey started Screaming like that before he even left his body on his deathbed.
Funny how you Wiccans will accept and worship what the Bile has warned us against,But also Deny the one who brought the warnings.So you will believe Gods warnings enough to worship them..But Deny God who brought the message ? Wow ,that has to be one of the biggest sins ever.
@The1911X ...we will soon see..that same God you laugh at..you will be begging for mercy for..and just like Anton Lavey and others..you will go down screaming..enjoy your life here cause that is as good as you will get.Peace
book of the dead ?? Really ?? they are writing books now huhb ?? lol..somehow being dead make you much more smart..and somehow,they all learn to speak english no matter what Country the dead talk to you in..Now that i do find paranormal and just a few fries short of a full happy meal..
the witch says its easier being a Christian and just say everything that happens is the will of God !! i can see why she is so confused..Not everything is the wil of God..we have free will on earth..its what we do with it that will give us life after earth where our will cannot save us ..Only God can.Just like a child being born on earth we need our parents to care for us untill we grow.When you are reborn after this life ,We need our Father to care for us.If you chose to deny him,Hell you see
Anything Outside of Jesus Christ is a demonic realm..Demonic only means knowledge..But none the less there is a reason we see demonic as evil.Cause the spirits with the Knowledge and claim to be your Gods & teachers are Evil.They hate humans and lie to us with everything they say..The only time you get the truth is when they are leading you to a worse place.You should all pray for wisdom,cause it seem you have none at all.If they have a reputation..it's because they earned it.Wicca/Wicked
no boundries ?? lol..try saving your own life after you die..thats when you meet your real Father and Creator in the Heavens..problem is ,you have denied him and worship everything he has warned us to stay away from..Strang how people will worship all God warns us to run from,but yet Deny the one who brought the message and warnings.But yet,you feel Gods creations should be worshipped over God himself.When you scream for Gods mercy,your God will fail you,cause it has no power to save life.
Everyone should be very offended that the woman was intruding on their ceremony and carrying the rosary. This is why christianity is hated so much. They cant mind their own business and stay the fuck out of others affairs.
@MickScarborough Yeah, notice how Christian videos have no opposing comments from Pagans, but Pagan videos practically ONLY have comments from Christian persecution, and Wiccans defending themselves?
Looking at this it's no wonder I really left "wicca" to become a solitary witch. Covens have no real purpose for me, I just feel doing things like 2:44 can be said in your head... I personally feel the rites were written for personal use aswell, but asking rocks if you can sit on them really really strikes me as pretentious... No wonder 3:35 you attract guests, with the amount of dressing up.... bring back paganism, not organised religion >.>
Umm, Satan didnt like how God was running things up there so he left and made his own place. Now does it really make sense that he would do God's dirty work of punishing people? My ass! Where is this contract that they should probably have for that!? No, hell...for those who believe in it, is probably one awesome fucking party considering that "all homosexuals go to hell" and you know we know how to throw a party bitches. Anyway, I am Wiccan by choice and gay by birth, I love me for both aspects
@Hannah70115 No way I'm 14 and have been a wiccan for a year now i understand what you mean but this is their way of showing thanks to the earth so plz don't hurt them with words
This was beautiful. Absolutely and utterly beautiful. You can see how much passion you have for the craft. Rest in peace Rhiannan; although you are no longer present in this world, your spirit carries on.
This has really inspired me. You are an amazing being, Barbara.
ib been a mormon all my life sence iv moved to my adopted parents when i was 18 months old and i always felt like i dont belong. when i was 5 i loved magic and the name witch, i use to pretend that i had a wond and i played witch. but to me when i was unger i thought of it as a game but when i was 8 i started to belave in magic but i was realy really in to nacher and the earth but i cepted it a seqret from my adopted parents and when i was 9 i found out a bout wicca and ever sence iv been wiccan
I am so sorry for those who are ignorant and refuse to open their minds and hearts. Remember, throwing stones will not better your lives, but only create hostility in your hearts.
I know how it feels to have someone that close to you pass away and I hope she is in the afterlife in peace. She was a very pretty girl and it makes me feel a lil better she had enough courage to talk about that on camera. Blessed be
@fridoxilinosin Same reason people steal prey even if it doesn't work. If you could make everything better through magick a whole lot more people would do it.
@fridoxilinosin Witchcraft can't save a cancer patient, of course. You can ask for any higher help you believe in, and in some cases, it seems to work. But you can't defy what's just meant to be.. May she rest in peace and love.
Also, any believed separation from the physical and the nonphysical has no meaning to a Pagan. They are one. Witchcraft can be a way to feel connected, but in spiritual truth, we know we are. It's about honour and harmony with the earth. Blessed be, hope I helped :) xo
But of course you cannot disagree that the man is representative of his "gods" actions... and for a long time Christianity has been the cause of many deaths of other cultures who does not believe in thesame perspective
@JournaloftheWiccan I am very proud to meet more and more and more open minded people likeyou. It really does proof that not all Christian people fear or even hate us. You are a shining light and a great example of tolerance. Thank you
@Ahuitzotol YOU ARE A ASS HOLE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK TO US LIKE THAT. WE ARE NOT SATANIST WE ARE A PEACEFUL RELIGION THAT LOVE NATURE AND EVERYTHING IN IT AND I WILL NOT BOW DOWN TO THE JUDGMENTAL GOD THAT HAS MADE PEOPLE BE JUGDED AND AT TIMES DIED AT THE HAND OF THE CROSS. IN MY EYES I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG.
It says in the Bible that we are supposed to love those that have different beliefs, yet I would guesstimate that 99% of Christians do not do this, they judge and this is what led me away from the Church. They would call me a heathen because I had long hair at the time, how crazy is that!!! And it wasn't just one church that did this to me, so now the way I go to church is by having a small gathering of people without the hierarchy that way everyone gets their say on how God is working for them
I am a non-denominational Christian and have no problem with Wiccans, in my faith there so many that do not practice what they preach. They judge Wiccans and others beliefs which is wrong, this is the reason I do not go to church. I believe church should be a gathering of people kinda like in this vid, but without any hierarchy (pastors/deacons/etc). I believe that church is just a show, so others can see what suit someone has on or what new car they have, its sick.
We have no need for temples, for nature itself can be a temple, a house can be a temple, a room can be temple, or our own bodies can be temples unto themselves. We need no structure made of stone, steel or glass.
why dont pagans build temples like the when they did ages ago? .-. and why doesnt this upset the goddess? and if it does? why dont they do something about it?
I have been studing Paganism over 10 years and wicca for 5 and I do not know everything. I question daily but always seem to find the answeres or at least an explanation I am comfortable with. My husbend dies this past april and I would not have made it this far without my wiccan path. blessed be Barbara
OK, look people. If you are going to honour the goddess then honour her. Men should not be included in the mysteries of women's gatherings period. This was not the old way. Never has been. All the tags today are just silly nonsense. The power of women is diluted or pulled out when men are present in a circle of women. Sorry thats not PC but if you really want to follow the old ways no men are allowed or should be allowed at goddess ceremonies. To raise female power and balance out male energy
actually in the celtic traditions, from the information that most have found out anyways, Men were allowed (those who were to old to fight or too injured to go to battle) to participate in the rituals that the Priestesses and maidens preformed. The Priestesses and Maidens were the keepers of knowledge and the men were taught by them to keep the legacy going.
I am so sorry for your loss, i know words could never repair or lessen the hurt you have gone through; but she is always with you, i felt very sad for you, for i am a mother of a 14 yr old teen and would be lost if i ever lost her. Blessed be sister and let it be light your way.
Repent and accept JESUS CHRIST_SON OF GOD_HE IS THE ONLY WAY_TRUTH OR LIGHT! I USED TO BE WHERE YOU WERE_ONCE! WATCH "WICCA 101-TESTIMONY OF AN EX_HIGH PREISTESS! GOD BLESS YOU! TAMARISK 777!
when I commented saying more about fantasy. I meant that its basically the imagination which awakens something spiritual. LIke visualizing. Its about the unseen not the seen. They are just more ritualistic then I think nescessary sort of like church for xians. just go sit under a tree.. ;}
Completely understandable. But since this is "t.v" I believe they're trying to grasp the essence of Wicca cause otherwise the general audience will once again just label as tree worshipping/hugging mindless goons.. lol.. So yeah, I see your perspective quite well.. there's a pro and con to making the video this way. But it's pleasing to my eye since the essence is not common on a wiccan youtube video... =( unless you can gladly prove me wrong. That would appreciated. Blessed be!
oh i like it. i wish I were in an alternate world were pagan was the main religion or at least where a person can be free to follow whatever path they feel is true to them. blessed be as well
yeah i agree with you... im more into simple ritual...but i guess every now in then it feels good to actual get ready and have sort of like...a big deal type thing you know?
I understand how you feel. I was raised up Lutheran and have begun to lean more towards being a Wiccan. The horrible thing about Christianity is since it sees itself as the only "true" religion then it believes that it must "save" people who don't conform. It is the fear that a loved one will go to hell. That is the current fear I am grappling with.
I study Wicca in secret to spare my Grandmother the distress.
I know what your saying, i live with a christain grandmother, my whole family is christian, i have to hide to. Its not fair. But if it make s you happy hun. Just continue studing so when you can practice in full yours already be learn'd alot.
She looks awesome for 91

The story about Barbara's daughter brought me to tears, that girl was so pretty and still so young. And to me it is so true that in such times of need to find the stength in your religion. I hope it helped her to know that her Child is with the Goddess now, who is a mother herself and that she found comfort in the mother's loving arms herself. And ofc the God too for he too knows about the circle of life and death.

Mistletoe and Pumkins are far older than Wicca, which was created in the 1950's but I guess you mean that they have pagan roots. And you are right most Wiccan do respect other people with other faiths but there are also some that feel grudge against Christians, especially if they left Christianity and became Wicca. I have to say, I was one of them when I first started in 2002 and laft Christianity myself. But with the time I evolved and now I can easily accept them even if they do not accept me

I believe that anyone should be able to celebrate any religion they want to, no matter what it is. Now I don't see any of the people in Wicca being cross or be harsh to people who are Jewish or Catholic or any other religion. Even if you aren't a Witch or in Wicca, you should practice this one aspect of Wicca. We do things that came through Wicca without even knowing it. Mistletoe, putting out pumpkins on Halloween, that all came from Wicca. So learn what you are talking about before you judge.

@BudsPeter44 Wicca DOES'NT worship the devil. Its witchcraft that does. Wicca is all about God and the environment. You really need to do more research.

Well, witchcraft is often used in Wicca. By Wiccan definition witchcraft is the craft of working in harmony with our Earth. Even growing plants is witchcraft :) But I definitely agree with you, it's so annoying when people tell us what's wrong with our "devil-worshipping" religion. Why would they even start such an argument when as soon as they say that it proves how little they know ? Blessed be, :) xo

Now Picture yourself in Hell Screaming in pain and suffering/Heat unbarable and no one hears your screams..Anton Lavey started Screaming like that before he even left his body on his deathbed.
Funny how you Wiccans will accept and worship what the Bile has warned us against,But also Deny the one who brought the warnings.So you will believe Gods warnings enough to worship them..But Deny God who brought the message ? Wow ,that has to be one of the biggest sins ever.

Looking at this it's no wonder I really left "wicca" to become a solitary witch. Covens have no real purpose for me, I just feel doing things like 2:44 can be said in your head...

No wonder 3:35 you attract guests, with the amount of dressing up.... bring back paganism, not organised religion >.>

Also, any believed separation from the physical and the nonphysical has no meaning to a Pagan. They are one. Witchcraft can be a way to feel connected, but in spiritual truth, we know we are. It's about honour and harmony with the earth. Blessed be, hope I helped :) xo

It says in the Bible that we are supposed to love those that have different beliefs, yet I would guesstimate that 99% of Christians do not do this, they judge and this is what led me away from the Church. They would call me a heathen because I had long hair at the time, how crazy is that!!! And it wasn't just one church that did this to me, so now the way I go to church is by having a small gathering of people without the hierarchy that way everyone gets their say on how God is working for them

I am a non-denominational Christian and have no problem with Wiccans, in my faith there so many that do not practice what they preach. They judge Wiccans and others beliefs which is wrong, this is the reason I do not go to church. I believe church should be a gathering of people kinda like in this vid, but without any hierarchy (pastors/deacons/etc). I believe that church is just a show, so others can see what suit someone has on or what new car they have, its sick.

OK, look people. If you are going to honour the goddess then honour her. Men should not be included in the mysteries of women's gatherings period. This was not the old way. Never has been. All the tags today are just silly nonsense. The power of women is diluted or pulled out when men are present in a circle of women. Sorry thats not PC but if you really want to follow the old ways no men are allowed or should be allowed at goddess ceremonies. To raise female power and balance out male energy
isaythis2u 2 years ago
actually in the celtic traditions, from the information that most have found out anyways, Men were allowed (those who were to old to fight or too injured to go to battle) to participate in the rituals that the Priestesses and maidens preformed. The Priestesses and Maidens were the keepers of knowledge and the men were taught by them to keep the legacy going.

I understand how you feel. I was raised up Lutheran and have begun to lean more towards being a Wiccan.

It is the fear that a loved one will go to hell. That is the current fear I am grappling with.
