What Is Wicca Really?

                 

 WICCA IS PURE WITCHCRAFT!

 

 

                                                       

                                                                    A SEDUCTIVE DECEPTION

 

 

Wicca is a game so many people play.  A game that when started, ends in many tears and many years of restoration.    Little did I realize how much damage I was doing to myself.  Not only to myself, but to others around me.

What exactly is a witch?
Lets look at what the Bible says about a witch….
 
Deuteronomy 
18:10-12: "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son 
or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, 
interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is 
a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does 
these things is detestable to the LORD..."

18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and BECAUSE OF these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
18:14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

 

 

And why did God state these statements…….. below is a letter from a witch I came across on the internet, A witch wrote in to a website who are against abortions.  This is what happens if we turn from God:

 

“I saw your photos on abortions.......WAY COOL , I  am a witch and a lesbian. I also had an abortion but my dead fetus didn't look like that (I WISH).... you see when I saw the pictures I really had no emotion about it well I had one and that was pride...you see I do worship the dark goddess and I do offerings to her to allow more abortion to happen for you see the only good child is a dead child. Sorry..... I get more emotional when I see animals die in a slaughter house....oh yeah....I'm vegan also. but when you try to scare us with these stupid pictures...well...they don't work...A real witch would not even bat an eye over it because we know what true evil is....and thats you...christians...yeah what a surprise....anyway just wanted to let you know I enjoyed the photos and I might buy some to display on my wall.....hay, a visual image when I pray to the goddess.....good idea . . . . . indarkness4ever”

 

Not only do I believe there is NO such thing as a good witch but also in the Bible there is no such thing as a good witch.   All the Witches I was involved with are selfish and they believe they themselves are “goddess” therefore giving them the right to do as they please.  Wiccans have a kind of a law they abide by.  It is not set in stone, but it is a basic guideline.  This is called the rede.  The rede is “And Ye Harm None, Do As Ye Will” – harm none in starting with yourself.  Not harming yourself first, therefore if need be to harm someone else for your happiness – “so mote it be” (meaning, it is done).  That is the essence of the wiccan law.  Let me explain exactly what the wiccan rede means.  Firstly, everything is self-aggrandizing, so it’s the witch itself who comes first.  “An ye harm none” always starts with the self.  If it means harming someone else to get what you want so as to not deprive yourself (harm yourself), then so be it. 

What does God say about this?

Galatians 5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 

Before we continue, let me stress the fact that these people are merely just people!  We should not be waging a war against them.  We should be warring against the dark demonic forces that are using them as vessels. 

 

What does the Bible say about this?

 

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. NEVER turn against the people, but turn against the sin and the powers that have them in bondage.

 

Our duty as Christians is to pray for their blindness to be lifted.  You owe that to them and to God.

The forces behind Wicca are not new. It is the same old wicked devil worship and rejection of God. The only difference between wicca and Satanism is that wicca has been made to look innocent to a spiritually devastated world. As the witch progresses within the coven, he/she realizes the truth behind wicca, the darkness that prevails there. 

Wicca is a front.  The higher one progresses within the coven, the darker the spells become.  In the coven I was involved in there were levels in the rituals.  The ritual would start with everyone involved   and the ritual theme would involve something labelled as “fluffy bunny” like “a key spell” to open  doors for opportunity i.e. new employment, etc.  As the ritual progressed, first the postulants were  cut out of the circle via a portal created by the “circle caster” and they had to wait outside.  Once they were cut out, the ritual would become “darker” because it would pertain to the next level of training  and studies.  As the ritual carried on, the dedicants would be cut out and then the ritual would become  even more “darker”.  Then the first degrees would be cut out and then the second degrees until we were left with only third degrees and the elders in the circle.  This is when the ritual advanced into “High Magick” which was according to training and studies.  Then after a few hours of ritual, everyone would  be brought back into the circle the way they left so that the circle could be taken down, goddess, god, universal and elements and others devoked. 

The aim of this was to keep the “white” witches out of harm so early in their practices and to instill the element of the unknown. During the rituals, several pathworkings were performed.  These pathworkings are in fact, hypnosis.  Everyone finds a comfortable place in the circle and lies down.  They are then brainwashed into going somewhere where you meet the Goddess or “some sort of demon”.  Once, a coven member found himself face to face with a terrible demon and went totally off the pathworking and found himself running down the N1 highway, between the cars with this demon right behind him all the time.  When the pathworking was over, we could not bring him back for some time.  He was as white as a sheet and when he eventually came round, he was extremely ill.  He could not walk for several hours and he was in another “dimension”.   

After the rituals, everyone would be on a type of a “high”.  This was partly due to the drugs used in the incense and partly due to the demonic manifestations in circle e.g. the cone of power or the energy raised as the wiccans call it.  This type of “high” would then persuade one to partake more in the after ritual drugs, alcohol, sexual interactions and partying. 

Wiccans believe in myths and legends, dragons, faeries and elves.  This is by no means harmless or just pure fantasy.  These myths, legends, dragons and faeries are very much involved in their spell casting and daily lives.  Just because wiccans gather herbs, light incense and light candles and dance naked in the moonlight, worship the “great mother” and care for the earth doesn’t mean they are good or harmless in any way. In fact, every Christian should ensure that they stay away from the wiccans gatherings and festivals.  The ground that the wiccans practice their rites on is cursed.

After the rituals, everyone would be on a type of a “high”.  This was partly due to the drugs used in the incense and partly due to the demonic manifestations in circle e.g. the cone of power or the energy raised as the wiccans call it.  This type of “high” would then persuade one to partake more in the after ritual drugs, alcohol, sexual interactions and partying. 

The dragons, faeries, etc are demonic.  They are manifest servitors (thought forms), which are in fact demons.  For 2.5 years after giving my life to Christ, one still followed me around and it was constant warfare.  I did not realize that it was affecting my life in such a negative way.  It kept me in bondage.  These demons are used in the wiccans life to get what the wiccan wants which ultimately is selfish desires.

Most Wiccans state that they do not worship satan because they do not believe that he exists, but in actual fact if you are not worshiping Jesus, you are worshiping satan.  The new initiates are deceived into believing that the “forces” are good and harmless whereas, the higher degrees know very well what they are dealing with.

The pentagram for Witchcraft and Satanism are much the same.  The Witchcraft pentragram is turned upside down to represent the five elements – earth, air, fire, water and spirit.  But in actual fact, it is a pentagram.  When higher degrees are reached, the pentagram gets turned around in the degree so that it is the same pentagram as the satanic pentagram.   Wiccans will argue that it is not the same, but it is.  When you get to your second degree, the pentagram is reversed back with the two horns pointing upwards.  It is just your first degree (still in blindness) that the pentagram is upside down.

Wicca was invented

 
                                                                           
                                                                                     Gerald Gardener                     
 
Wicca was invented by a man called Gerald Gardener 1884-1964.  
(It is not ye old religion)  
In his writings Gardner drew upon his occultic experiences, travels, 
the writings of Murray, the help of Aleister Crowley, and his knowledge 
of Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Theosophy, Western ritual/sex magic, 
magical texts (e.g., the Greater Key of Solomon), and various native 
Asian and near Eastern religions and their occultic paraphernalia. 
Borrowing from these and other sources, Gardner invented his own religion
 - founding it upon the mother goddess. He then added the doctrine of 
reincarnation. Rather than merely revealing and reviving an ancient 
Goddess religion as he claimed, Gardner then created modern witchcraft 
or wicca as it is known. 
 
Gerald Gardner had many occultic connections. He was a member of 
Freemasonry, the Rosicrucians, and a VII degree initiate of the Ordo 
Templi Orientis (O.T.O.). 
He was an acquaintance of Mabel Besant-Scott 
(daughter of leading Theosophist Annie Besant) and of Aleister Crowley.

                                   Nature Based Religion

Common Wiccan Beliefs

1. Everyone has the divine (or goddess) within.

2. One should develop natural gifts for divination or occult magic (often spelled 'magick' by occultists.)

3. Divine forces or nature spirits are invoked in rituals.

4. The goddess, as either a symbol or a real entity, is the focus of worship.

5. Nature and the earth are sacred manifestations of the goddess.

6. Everyone has his or her own spiritual path to follow.

7. Rituals and celebrations are linked to the seasons and moon phases.

8. Meditation, visualization, invocation (calling on forces or gods/goddesses), chanting, burning candles and special rituals trigger a sense of the mystical, which reinforces the core belief system. 

 

These beliefs will often be mixed with a combination  of mystical traditions, Celtic or Norse paganism, Greek and Roman goddess worship, ancient Egyptian spirituality, Eastern Shamanism, or even Native American spiritual practices depending on the group. 

 

Most Common Symbology used in wicca

 

The Serpent

Used as a symbol of enlightenment and wisdom.

 

Pentagram and pentacle

A 5-pointed star used for protection, spells, conjuring, etc.

 

The Ankh

Egyptian cross-like symbol with a loop at the top associated with the worship of Isis.

 

The Crescent Moon

A symbol of the Goddess also used in Islam.

 

Crystals

Believed to contain healing and spiritual properties.  Crystals are also used by many other new age cults. 

 

These are only a few symbols, but the most common used.  Wiccans adapt their symbology from various different sources depending on their god and goddess.  Symbols are very important in their rites for invocation of (demons). 

 

Wiccan tenets

§  Wiccans say Jesus went through individuation, meaning He embraced His "dark side" and wiccans go through a very intense stage of dealing with the shadow self. 

§  Wiccans say Jesus was part of a coven because they were a set of 13.  12 Disciples including Himself are 13. 

§  Wicca has many denominations/sects/traditions. Some are large like the Alexandrian, Gardnerian, Druidic, Welsh Traditionalist, Georgian, Dianic, and Church of Wicca. Others are as small as a single coven of 13 or family tradition.

§  Satan is a Christian myth.

§  Christians take no responsibility for their actions and always blame things on the devil.  Christians say “The devil made me do it”.

§  Wiccans say Wicca means "wise one".

§  Satanism is just a perversion of Christianity whereas Wicca is an older, purer faith which stands on its own merits.

§  Non-witches are "cowans".

§  Many Wiccans start out refusing to do any magic which would influence people against their wills. This often does not last long.

§  The Wiccan Rede, is "an it harm none, do what ye will". It is perilously close to the Crowley's commandment, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."

 

                                                              

 

Deities

 

Deities are invoked like Pan, Diana, Cernunnos, Hecate, Astarte, Isis, Demeter, Kali, Innana, 

Performed rites of passage and initiation—the witch stands blindfolded, naked and bound at the edge of the Circle "which is placed between the worlds, a place that is not a place and a time that is not a time". The Witch is anointed as a Priestess/Priest or High Priestess/Priest of the Goddess and learn their secret name.  Spiritual initiation takes place at these rites.

For those who would progress further in Wicca they get into a relationship with the lord of the Underworld, the Dark Lord of Death. This Dark Lord of Death is the darker aspect of Cernunnos or Lucifer, the Horned God of Wicca. "The Descent of the Goddess into the Underworld". This is about the necklace, eternal marriage to the Dark Lord, and reincarnation in Wicca.

As the Wiccan progresses, she/he is told to essentially embrace the dark side of her/his nature just like the goddess went down to the Lord of Death.

Wiccans totally disrespect the God of the Bible in all ways.

Wiccans firmly believe that Lucifer (often known as Bel, Lugh, Herne, Faunus, Pan or Cernunnos) was the true God and that satan was a boogy-man manufactured by Christians.

Deuteronomy 18:9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

                          Most witches believe in and invoke and worship the Mother or also 
                                called the "triple Goddess" and her male consort, the Horned God.  
                              Both of these deities are believed to be immanent deities accessible 
                                                                                    to humanity.
 
                              The Mother Goddess whose three primary roles are maiden, mother 
                               and crone is represented by and associated with the moon and its 
                                                 three phases: waxing, full, and waning. 
 
                              Be aware of these names.  The “mother goddess”  is invoked by a 
                               variety of names: Aphrodite, Artemis, Astaroth, Astarte, Athene, 
                                Hecate, Brigit, Ceres, Cerridwen, Cybele, Diana, Demeter, Friga, 
                                  Gaia, Hecate, Isis, Kali, Kore, Lilith, Luna, Persephone, Venus, 
                                    and others. These are all goddess’s that are used in rituals.  
                                              The mother goddess is believed to be eternal.  
 
                            The male horned god, is associated with the sun. According to most 
                                witches, he dies and is reborn every year. He too is called and 
                                 invoked by many names, including Adonis, Ammon-Ra, Apollo, 
                                 Baphomet, Cernunnos, Dionysius, Eros, Faunus, Hades, Horus, 
                                         Nuit, Lucifer, Odin, Osiris, Pan, Thor, and Woden.
 

The god is thought of as the god of the next world, or of death and resurrection, or of reincarnation, the comforter, the consoler. They believe that after life they go gladly to his realms for rest and refreshment, becoming young and strong, waiting for the time to be reborn on earth again, and: he is prayed to send back the spirits of their beloved dead to rejoice with them at their festivals.

 

For many witches, trance states are the high point of their religious practice.  These could
or could not involve some kind of drugs to induce trance states.  Especially important are 
the type termed "drawing down the moon (the goddess)" or "drawing down" the horned god.  
These involve the goddess or god entering or possessing a priestess or priest respectively 
during a ritual with mediumistic utterances given or magic worked.
 
Witches are trained to use certain “charkas” at certain parts of the ritual to induce certain 
kinds of “energy”.
 
                               
 
Witches believe in the intervention of interdimensional entities such 
as gods and goddesses, higher life forms, spirit guides, departed 
humans, etc and aid in the spiritual knowledge of all things.  Some 
witches believe that the power comes from within us as they are 
goddess.  Most witches draw information from the Akashic Records 
and believe that each one of us (humans) are connected via a web 
which covers the earth containing all information, past, present and 
future.
 

Witches, by demonic influence, develop various clairvoyant and other

powers to influence persons or events.  They are indoctrinated that they

are to develop these “occult powers” which they are told that they already

have.  During classes and rituals at home, they are told by the High Priestess

to develop these by practice.

 
Recruiting for the coven
 
Witches who belong to a coven know will most certainly deny that they
 recruit people into the coven.  This is untrue.  Every witch that is in 
a coven was either born into the coven or was recruited into the coven 
by a friend or the internet or some form of advertising.  Besides, its all 
over the internet.  Covens have phone numbers you can contact.  
The coven I belonged to invites you to join.  All you have to do is 
contact the High Priestess on her home number or her cell number which 

is advertised on their web site.

 

 

 

Who does wicca appeal to?
 
Wicca appeals mainly to young people.  But there are people who join this 
sect that are older.  These people do not want to be involved in the hard-core 
side of the dark side.  But they are all deceived as they soon realize when they 
progress through the degrees.  
 
Coven or Solitary
Wicca is performed either in a coven or solitary.  Solitary wicca is when it is practiced 
on its own, with no other people involved.  As part of the pagan federation that I was 
involved with, they often held festivals where many people would gather.  These would 
be people of all kinds of religions.  And yes, frightfully enough, even Christians.  This is 
dangerous ground for a Christian as it has given the devil right over them for treading on
cursed ground.
 
 

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 God's view of occultism is expressed in the following warning: "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD..."
