A Practical Startup Guide to Wicca - Nancy Armstrong - Bog

A Beginner's Guide to Wiccan Beliefs, Witchcraft, Tools, Spells, Rituals, and Magic
Are you curious about Wicca? Have you heard the folklore, fictional tales, and history of people referred to as "witches," but aren't sure where truth and fairy tale collide?
Are you searching for a religious practice that honors nature and communes with the Earth?
Wicca may be steeped in lore and found in the imaginations of Halloween greeting card writers, but the truth of the matter is very different.
Wicca is an Earth-centered religion that focuses on the life-giving and sustaining powers of nature. It is a commitment to living in balance with the Earth through ritual worship of the Goddess and the God.
The process of learning about and practicing Wicca is just like any other religion. In this book, we are going to look at just what Wicca is, what its core beliefs are, and how you can start practicing Wicca.
I believe that humans are spiritual beings, as in, we can be attuned to the spirit within ourselves, others, and the world around us. The practice of Wicca seeks to celebrate and understand the element of the spirit as well as the power that is called upon in the other Elements of Earth, Wind, Fire & Water.
In this Practical Startup Guide to Wicca book, I will show you the practical beginnings of Wicca and how you can adapt them to your daily life, even if you choose not to take on the formal teachings.
