An Introduction to Wicca

by Megan Meissner through instruction by professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org
We hear first that Wicca has nothing to do with Satan. Crisp clear images and narration are easily grasped, along with mellow, appropriate music. Interesting video of the Wiccans and we are told all the many types of Wiccanism. Eclectic, just an individualist approach, fairies, even Christian Wicca, even atheist Wicca. The ethics of the Rede is presented along with the three-fold law, a kind of karma theory. The spelling "magick" is explained. Wiccans do not do tricks, but love nature. Spells are cast within the sacred circle, not for evil but blessing. Misconceptions are then dispelled. Satan we are reminded, a Christian phenomenon and based on Pan. The Satanist pentacle is reversed for example. Growth up globally for Wiccanism. Skillful use of video, nice detailed credits, all images from Wikimedia commons

i have a question.. can there be a satanist wiccan?....because as a satanist i dont belive in the devil nor god i belive in myself as in me being my own god...its kinda hard to explain...u would have to watch some satanism documentaries to understand me if u dont already know what true satanism is.. i just started researching this wicca stuff so i dont no much about it.. i was wondering because i found it interesting that there are different religions in the wicca religion nd i like the religion

@zacmo2000 I don't see a conflict between LaVeyian Satanism and Wicca zacmo. Go for it! It is like asking if humanism and naturalism conflict.  I don't think they have to.

I remember some of your first videos on Buddhism. They were a very new style here on Youtube and brought great interest to lots of people including me! Its great to see that you are now expanding your topics to a broader range!

Blessed Be, May you be happy,

may you attain Nirvana.

@TheBuddhaLight Thanks BuddhaLight! i really appreciate all the contacts and dialog I have had with nice people like you through this channel too!

You completely forgot to mention the God. Wiccans believe in both a goddess and a god unlike the feminist Dianic types of pseudoWiccans whose female centric beliefs do nothing more than mirror the patriarchal religions they love to hate while further alienating themselves from anything remotely balanced.

@NomNomsGames I hate that the Bible thumpers are trolling Wicca vids too. But just remember that the Bible thumpers are pathetic assholes that have nothing better to do and that we have more of a connection to the divine then they would ever have.

Can I just watch a Wiccan video without seeing a religion flame war in the comments for once? If you don't like Wicca, tough shit. GTFO. :(

@gwad1961You will not teach me about God or Satan, When the time comes to meet my maker that entity will decide if I was right or wrong, for no living person on this planet is qualified to replace any god or goddess, no person on this planet has the right to tell me who or what I should believe thereby taking away my God/Goddess given right to choose and no one has the right to judge or condemn me for what I believe.

@AntiFascist2011 Really? Learn your facts before posting something wrong. Watch The Burning Times Documentary. People HAVE worshipped many goddesses before the 1960's even thousands of years before that.

@FaerylWomyn its because they dont fully understand as well. if you like maybe I can help you understand
