Witchcraft is part of the larger Pagan movement, which includes druids and heathens among others. All these spiritual paths, as pagans refer to them, base their practices on pre-Christian religions and cultures.
Wicca, an alternative minority religion whose adherents, regardless of gender, call themselves witches, began in the UK in the mid-20th century.
Witchcraft, Paganism, and Wicca have been popping up everywhere in pop culture from Witches on social media to a Marvel comic superhero called Wiccan. The New York Times had even asked: “When did everyone become a witch?”
So, do you think you are a Witch?
The fact that you are here shows that you have started, or you may be seeking a new or additional Spiritual path. A Spiritual path is not always a religion. Anyone can be a Witch weather you are a Christian, a Wiccan, an Atheist, or anything in between.
Spirituality is the aspect of humanity that refers to the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant, divine, or sacred.
Religion is a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, structure, rules, beliefs, and practices; the service and worship of God or the supernatural.
Wicca is a modern-day religion based on nature and the worship of specific gods and goddesses, specifically a horned god and a triple goddess who represents fertility. The religion’s basis promotes warmth, love, and peace, focusing on a connection with the Earth and the heavens.
Witchcraft, at its core, is the big umbrella that encompasses Wicca, it is the belief in the power of nature…and that everything is connected by a web of energy. It is the belief that everything shares this same energy… or life force.
You can become a Witch by studying and by adopting and practicing the belief system.
