בשביל שיהיה לכם מעניין, אני משקיעה בכם ומקלידה כאן מאמר שלם (באנגלית תסבלו), שהיה מאבות הבניין שהגדירו את המושג וויקה בשבילי. את המאמר כתבה Alaine VioletMoon, ומשום מה בגרסה החדשה של האתר שלה הוא לא נמצא, אבל כל הקרדיט אליה, פשוט מאמר מקסים!!! אם נורא מפריע לכם לקרוא מועמד לימין (אני יודעת שלי מפריע), תעשו C&P לNOTEPAD או משהו... Creating Religion Wicca is often called the old religion, because it is based on the teachings of the old, pagan religions and the old art of witchcraft. The wheel of the year, our symbols, and our belifs, are all hand me downs from the Druids and other European pagan traditions. Wicca in it's current form is the revival of the old belifs in attempt to bring people closer to the earth and subsequently closer to each other. Because wicca is a bona fide religion, it does adhere to certain belifs and practices, and does embrace floklore and tradition all its own, and it's practicionares do share things in common. However, it angers me whenever I hear "wiccans do this" or "wiccans do that" without adding the fact that many wiccans may not "do that" at all. For example, I once read that wiccans practice skyclad, or nude. The first thing I though was "oh really? I should remind myself of this the next time I don my wiccan robe. For I always thought I was wiccan but I almost never practice skyclad!" The truth of the matter is, that although wicca is a reincarnation of an older religion (or perhaps several old religions), the truth is that wicca is an infant religion, and therefor is enduring growing pains, and continual change. Every time a new person adorns the title of a wiccan witch and initiates herself into the religion of the Goddess, she carries with her new belifs, new practices, and new ways of doing things. She brings with her a breath of fresh air, and because of it, she changes our religion. Wicca is a religion of action, not of pure belief. For example, just because you believe in the Goddess doesn't make you wiccan. In order to be wiccan you must act on your actions. You must learn, you must teach, you must give thanks, you must integrate yourself with nature and the earth. And every new person that does these things changes what wicca is. Wicca is fluid, and it is metamorphic. When we practice wicca we are allowed to come into is and plunge our hands into it and change it from the inside. Wicca does not contain the dreaded "look but don't touch" philosophy. Whenever we come together to worship, we may add new phrases or images that may change our mind about how we envision the Goddess, and when we do that we change our religios belifs without completely changins religions. It is for that reason that wicca is so accessible. As long as we continue to accept the basic tenets of wicca, we can add to it almost anything we want. We don't have to worship the Goddess Diana, we don't have to believe in reincarnation, we don't have to cast a circle, and we don't have to practice skyclad. Wicca is as we are. הגעתם? עדיין חיים? יש עוד בהודעה הבאה....
