  • All religions who use deities are false. Only one that uses scientific fact to appreciate the divine is worthwhile.

  • Boring, and all the trappings. No deities, thanks, just give me a sky full of stars, and some fresh water.

  • Biblical Explanation on the following:

    1/ Witchcraft (Dominating/controlling force) ie Spells, Curses. 

    2/Divination (Fortune telling realm) ie Palm, Tarot card, Tea reading, Dreams etc 3/ Sorcery (through objects) ie Charms, Amulets, some Rings.

  • crap..

  • Lovely ritual up till the weird fight. I don't really understand that part. But then again I'm not just a Wiccan witch. I'm also a bit of a peace loving, flower bearing, pot smoking, hippie. :D

  • Comment removed

  • Hey isnt one of the ten comentments thou shall not honor ANY OTHER gods before me!. Even god said that there were other god ppl and Jesus was a Jew not a christian. Wicca is way older then christianity!!

  • You say GOD but never mention a name! Who's GOD...

  • @31LUDEBOY Do you think a being of such greatness possesses a name?? many of us have different names for god.... It's something we use to try to connect with the forces of creation itself!

  • the singing was rough at first, but then it got a lot better. sounded ancient. sounded spiritual. sounded pagan.

  • @14natgor1 You call Wicca a peaceful religion while cursing out and insulting a Christian. I am Wiccan, but find that hypocritical and immature. Everyone is going to have their own views and people are going to say ignorant things about any religion that is not their own. Don't take part in that, especially as a Wiccan yourself.

  • @AliceMarch13 I'm a Neo Pagan, and we should respect all religion equally as our. Do you agree?

  • OMFG CHRISTAN FAGGOTS SHUT UP!!! EVERYONE IS NOT GONNA BELIEVE IN YOUR CRAPPY ROTTING CORPSE OR YOUR FAT WHORE LIVING IN THE CLOUDS!!! Wicca Is a peaceful religion which is (technically) older than your dumb religion. If it wernt for us, there would be no fantasy of a stupid idiot nailed to a piece of wood that had magical powers!

  • @14natgor1 i know some people are ignorent, and narrow minded but see through them and find peace in wicca 13 goals of a witch 1. know yoursef 2. know your craft 3.learn 4. apply knowledge with the wisdom to use it 5. achieve balance 6.keep your words in good order 7.keep your thoughts in good order 8.celebrate life 9.attune with the cycles of the earth 10. breathe and eat correctly 11. exercise the body 12. meditate 13. honor the Goddess and the God blessed me, my friend
  • @14natgor1 my dear, are you sure you are a wiccan? I think you might need to review your beliefs or perhaps go through our sacred wiccan rede again (assuming you are familiar with it) This much hatred in your heart is just opposite to what we stand for, insulting the patrons of another religion will not make anyone understand and accept us with open heart, the atrocities committed against witches by the catholic church was a political movement in history not a religious one. blessed be.

  • @14natgor1 WOW! Why the christmas tree in the video? I thought wicca was peaceful this sounds like dionism..

  • Beautiful, mystical, holy, & merry <3

    Blessed be, xo

  • Your rites are simply beautiful. They are inspirational!

  • HEAR YE!!! HEAR YE!!! HEAR YE!!!

    THE WORLD IS GOING TO END ON _________???

    I HAVE NO IDEA BECAUSE GOD(JESUS CHRIST) DID NOT TELL ME!!!

    THE RAPTURE IS GOING TO OCCUR ON_________???

    I HAVE NO IDEA BECAUSE GOD(JESUS CHRIST) DID NOT TELL ME!!!

  • i don't get it.. i think i'm in love with wiccans and everything about them and it all makes sense to me. But everyone is so bias about it that i can't find anything about it.. i really wish they had a 'bible' of some sort that i could read about or something. could someone help me out with some details?

  • @lowmanlovessos

    They have a traditional Alexandrian Bible called the Witches' Bible if you wanted to look at it. Wicca can be hard to find in the sense of traditional things. Wicca was meant to be secreted and only so few were meant to really know about it until you were initiated.But there are some wonderful books and sites for beginner wiccans who just want to come up with their own theories and system. Wicca is very personal now unlike how it was before. It is less structured than before. 

  • Wicca is very bad because it has star pointing up, it should be pointing down for energy to go to the earth and replenish her.

    joyofsatan(dot)org

  • @viking403

    I doubt what you believe but I must say that, Because of our pentacle pointing up; it is symbolic to spirit. Earth is the left bottom and Fire the right bottom. Creation and Destruction, Green and Red, Balance> The drum and The light candle, These are many thoughts to this symbol, BUT none is harmful. So we believers as a pagan or wiccan is not very bad.

  • @ClearingStoneProphet

    u realy need to get a grip

    jesus is made up

  • CHANGING FROM ONE RELIGION TO ANOTHER RELIGION IS THE EQUIVALENT OF,

    TAKING OFF ONE PAIR OF ROTTEN FUNKY RAGGEDY SNEAKERS FOUND IN A GARBAGE DUMP OFF OF YOUR FEET AND REPLACING THEM WITH ANOTHER PAIR OF ROTTEN FUNKY RAGGEDY SNEAKERS FOUND IN THE SAME GARBAGE DUMP!!!

    CHANGING FROM A HELLBOUND PERVERT TO A JUSTIFIED SLIMEY SLUG IS THE EQUIVALENT OF,

    1) REPENT OF YOUR SINS

    2) BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS

    3) YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST

  • @ClearingStoneProphet

    yack yack yack yack jesus this jesus that abraham hit me with a wiffle ball bat

    1 eat shit

    2 this then gives you bad breth

    3 no cares

    see i can right this shit too :P

    o lordy lordy strike me down

    hmmm nothing see your god is gay

  • @ClearingStoneProphet

    really? how can you call people Perverts on this channel. Really? Think about what your doing believer!? How can you pull out the plank in your brothers eye when you have a log in your own? Judgement is not of you, and just your god because of what U believe. Paganism Happens to be a throughout history before Christianity, And many of the believers that would have loved to see this, died because Of judgement of others not God. Not From a Divine, but from men and religion.

  • People have this absurd notion that wicca is evil. At least it doesn't have a violent history like Christianity and Islam.

  • This isn't my thing but thanks for sharing it.

  • This is absurd. wicca has no historical accuracy and is MAN- made. this is also not pagan.the northern europeans have real, historically acurate celebrations for yule and this is not it. I encourage anyone watching this to study their roots and discover the real ways of our ancestors. google asatru or germanic/ norse paganism. study the celts or anything with proof. this is all made up hocus - pocus.

  • blessed be )O(

  • Blessed Yule everyone!! :)

  • Blessed Yule Everyone!

  • today is 21st december, wishing a merry yule everyone

  • Now this brings back memories, I once joined in a circle just like this for Beltane. That coven is no more now, and watching this makes my heart ache to be part of a circle again just being part of a community and in the company of others who follow this path on such a sacred night...it just feels safe and good. I miss it, being solitary gets lonely for someone like me. Anyway this is beautiful, blessed yule and blessed be to all.

  • excellent on spot videographer for documenting this beautiful culture etc..

  • these people are so serious! A solstice celebration should be a celebration! They seem so earnest and self conscious. My coven's rituals are way more fun than this! Good grief, people, lighten up! Pun intended. If I was new to Wicca, this would not entice me much.

  • @chatelaine19 I agree and I'm not even wiccan

  • I loved this very much. :) It is good that videos like this are around. it gives good reference to those who are new to paganism.

  • This is a nice video! Thank you for letting us see it, I am new to the Wiccan way and seeing this I could tell and even feel the energy as you called the elements. Blessed be )0(

  • @blazehigherboiii ....you are treating this subject like your sexuality.........you are intrigued but you haven't got the bottle to take part.

  • it's like they took a sacred wiccan ritual and turned it into a church service with preaching. How embarrassing.

  • @allisonforfornsed i agree, even though i'm only studying, ive never read about preaching being part of a ritual. I found it especially scary when one of the women was preaching in the middle, she sounded quite angry lol

  • I wonder why these people from the temple of astral light always scream hail and welcome at the top of their lungs...it's embarrasing. They should have some decorum.

  • Wow.. the women sing much nicer than the men... :D Beautiful Yule ritual! Blessed Be!

  • Thank you for sharing with us, this was beautiful. 

  • i like solo rituals :) or 2 or 3 people i find is the best i dont like big covens :P

  • Weather this coven is quiet or loud, at least they are together and working. So many people say they are a witch(wiccan) yet they dont practice or even try . Blessed be

  • @rolk4009 Prove it

  • @MickScarborough win reply, my dear.

    kudos to you :D lol

  • I love these, getting together and acting liek one large family where everyone is welcoming and ready to get to know you.

    i adore it

  • )0( Blessed Be to all those in the Craft!

  • Thats a big coven. Hehe blessed be

  • wow...that was...interesting...

  • @Damnedsoul53 Yeah, this does not look like any Solstice ritual I've attended or hosted, but I suspect this type of circle is more typcial than my own preferences. But I'm very Neopagan, not nearly as formal or traditional. As the Solstice represents the symbolic "rebirth" of the Sun, we try to include a little soul-searching and decide what we might like to see "birthed" in our own lives. Our way of living in harmony with Nature.

  • I really liked that Ritual. I hope i can be part of such a big amazing Group someday. But i didn't find serious People yet.

  • Oh, it wasn't about them using anything. I guess the way they started to act is what upset me like it was just a common fight. I didn't mean any disrespect to their ritual.

  • This was funny and amazing hehe. I didn't like how they were yelling fight something seemed upsetting about it....Hehe but Blessed Be.

  • blesses be all

  • I know this is odd, but I perfer not being a part of a group. Be lone lets me believe what I belive, and not be told otherwise. Blessed be and merry making!

  • Don't feed the trolls, people! They're not housebroken.

  • A beautiful representation of Pagan Ritual! Thank you for posting!

    Blessed Be!~

    Sabrina

  • Blessed Be )O(

    Brothers and Sisters!

  • i think this is a beautiful ritual and a very well organized large circle, which is sometimes hard. its a great representation of what a pagan church really is like. and they are inside, because not everyone has the luxury of space outside. blessed be.

  • If they are Pagans celebrating Yule; then why arnt they outside doing this what ever it is. This is not a good representation of pagan Yule/Solstice Celebrations.

    Tomorrow Myself and my children will be going to Glastonbury town, Some other friends to stone henge n various other places, enjoying the longest eve of the year n welcoming the light with fun and smiles and lovely people.

    Happy Solstice all!!! <3

  • @halouser248

    Woah.....relax.

    Not everyone is going to agree with us. And that's perfectly okay.

  • She sounds very angry every time she says, "So mote it be!!!' like she'll be mad if it doesnt mot it be. Hee hee.

  • LOL

  • I really don't agree with this coven, What is the point on putting it on youtube? rituals and celebrations in covens and solitary practice should stay there, just like a BOS it should still between u or ur coven, not put it on youtube for just anyone to watch, its nice that they are sharing it out, but i think it should be more personal and private, almost like a celebratie selling their personal story to a magazine... someone explain why they are putting it on youtube??

  • I believe that they are only trying to teach people about wicca and how it really is and everything. there are covens that even let people watch from outside of the circle.

  • sorry it just dosen't make sense in my closing up mind, imho it would spoil the energy, like i won't use anything that may involve it being spoiled by negativity, i grow my own herbs, i make literally all my own tools, and if i have to let someone watch, id only let someone whos gunna take it seriously, im just worried some ppl are watching this and laughing and getting the wrong idea about wicca...

  • Yeah I understand that.

  • @Amy0Immortal They want to be able to share their love and joy as they celebrate the solstice with all around them, or those who seek it. Especially people who cannot attend covens, but would like to see and get a feel of what the sabbat really is about. You know. to feel some of the celebration, as to not feel so left out, or like your "missing out" on the warmth of the sabbat.

  • es muy esoterico es muy de dios es de la madre naturaleza

  • thats kind of rude. Im sure u dont pla it perfectly. at least they tried. And if u find it offensive then dont watch it! It isnt and besisdes, so what? They used a yin yang drum i mean come on! Does it really matter what they use/ U can use substitutions

  • you used a lighter for the east candle? c'mon people.

  • i think that since they are honouring the dieties and the watchtowers of the spirits, using a lighter is just fine. whatever people use shouldn't matter... how they use it is the important part.

  • I liked this ritual--it had all the important Yule elements, as well as the touch of "real" people. It wasnt over-rehearsed or phony looking--nobody was dressed in over-the-top goth wear or ornate costumes. It was done in the true spirit of community and from the heart. I liked it and I'm sure the Lord and Lady were pleased as well.

  • Hmm. My parents are going to New York for this Christmas break...To bad they won't bring the kids... I would love to watch :)...(( Just 3 1/2 more years till I am outa the house!! ))

  • can you show evidence of this?

  • Are you serious

    Thought it's and harm to none

    So you're saying it ( wicca pagan ) is a satanic cult?

    Please reply as I am weary.

    Blessed Be

    jason

  • Hehe, these people are at least not hurting anyone with their beliefs. Unlike Christainity/Islam etc, they do not have a list of restrictions on what a person can or cannot be. I am an agnostic, more towards the Atheistic end of the spectrum, and I hate the negative things that religion bring into the world, but these people are just getting together and having fun...I see no harm here.

  • Plus, all wicca is really is the celebration of nature soo.. i dont see what wong with it

  • The rites, just as any rituals, are just that. Something to honor the passing of time. The meaning might be lost to many, but the rituals are still practiced to honor the old wisdom. Yule means 'wheel'. The longest night. To observe the dying sun and the rebirth. New Years eve, people drinking and counting down and kissing, that it is a modern tradition and ritual, yet no one picks modern rituals apart. Why is this?

  • I've been wanting to get into a pagan religion and I've tried wicca, but I don't worship anything, I don't like having to ask a god or goddess for strength for me to get over a problem. I just feel kinda silly doing a ritual like this (no offense to those who do). But I still wanna look into a religion, is there any pagan religions that anyone can suggest?

  • Agnostic?

  • Not such a big fan, I guess I'll just stick to athiesm till I find a religion/philosiphy that I like.

    Thank you for your suggestion.

  • Depends on what you might be interested in. Most pagan paths are esoteric. It take time to find the one that is 'right' for you. You might try Asatru, its a bold suggestion seeing as I know nothing about you. In my humble opinion, you don't ask the gods for strength there... they expect you to have it already.

  • Blessed be!, Hail and farewell!. Love you guys!

  • i have just started to learn, it's confussing but i'm getting there.

    blessed be

  • A first-person view inside of a coven. Pretty cool. 5 stars and a fave :P

    oh, and a sub

  • ss daaam .

    but when ones belief is so strong when his faith surpasses everything, anything is possible

    all u need is a strong belief in anything and youll accomplish anything!!

  • Ah, I really do love Yule the most. Possibly because Pan is my favorite God. "When the Wheel turns to Yule, burn the log, the Horned One rules" 

    Blessed be =]

  • My favorite is Samhain, its just so awesome =)

  • Yeah, Samhain is pretty cool =]

    )O(

  • This is an absolutely beautiful ceremony. I wish more people would be open-minded to the real witches.

  • Well said, Blessed Be

  • I really want to join this can you help me how?

  • Isis~Astarte~Diana~Hecatate~De meter~ Kali~Inanna(Blessed Be)

  • can you tell me the symbolism of what this is it seems interesting

  • @nitewanderer In Wicca, this holiday is celebrated at the winter solstice as the rebirth of the horned god who is viewed as the newborn solstice sun. The method of gathering for this sabbat varies by practitioner. Some have private ceremonies at home while others do so with their covens.Yule for modern Wiccans involves the burning of the Yule log on an open fire to honor the lord Cernunnos or the Horned God; the log is decorated with holly and other things

  • @terdy10234 Oh that is so cool, thank you I forgot about this.

  • @nitewanderer came from wiki

  • @terdy10234 Just for me personally, I would actually reverse that -- the Winter Solstice being the [symbolic] rebirth of the newborn solstice Sun, viewed as the horned god. But then again, I don't actually honor named gods and goddesses specifically; rather, I honor simply the Sun, Moon and Earth, etc. I guess I've just never felt the need interpret them in any other way.

  • you spelled ridiculous wrong. kind of diminishes any value of what you have to say. Anyways, it's no more ridiculous than any christian rituals/traditions...you're just more familiar with them

  • oh ha ha you think you're so funny. You're just jealous you can't have that much fun.

  • Not only does the spells have an effect. Its the actions that are cast, which incourage men to act. When a true believer can act to protect his belief. All actions are caused by the mind. In order to protect the god, goddess. In turn I would do what is nessesary to protect my faith

  • simply beautefull! i am just starting on the wiccan path and alredy i find i am more at peace. as apposed to living in fear under that tyranical psychopath the christians call god as i used to

  • your rituals are so beautiful

  • lawyerjudgesdestroy the only evil spouting twisted moron is you dear. I pitty you for your ignorance. Beautiful ceremony

  • lawyerjudgesdestory if you don't like it don't watch it. Maybe you're a moron. Why should you care so much what other people believe in? Live your own life don't try to make others feel inferior.

    A beautiful ritual Astral Light, as usual!

  • I find it unfortunate that Wiccan rituals are often painted as demonic or evil. All religions have rituals that seem strange if you are unacquainted with them. All religions have words and phrases that are sacred to them, whether they be chants or catechism or prayers.

    I find this ritual simple and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

  • There is something very powerful about Wicca that Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism or whatever faith you follow should/could glean from.

    In the Wiccan Rede it states, "An it harm none, Do what ye will." Do not harm others, yourself or anything. Similar to the Golden Rule, mind you. Therefore, if you follow this or that, please respect and tolerate each other the best you can, derogatory comments or not. I will try to do the same.

    Thank you very much for this post!

  • greetings family of wicca and other old ways of life......dont let a** holes get to you they talked about jesus so they will do it to yo as well.........I love the video and it was a very good rite so a greet blessing to all and let that dummy keep being a du

  • it's alright for you to celebrate your religion, why can't wiccans/pagans, since paganism was one of the first religions?
