Significance of Indian Traditional Wicca

Wicca is a very peaceful, harmonious and balanced way of life which promotes oneness with the divine and all which exists.

Wicca is a deep appreciation and awe in watching the sunrise or sunset, the forest in the light of a glowing moon, a meadow enchanted by the first light of day. It is the morning dew on the petals of a beautiful flower, the gentle caress of a warm summer breeze upon your skin, or the warmth of the summer sun on your face. Wicca is the fall of colorful autumn leaves, and the softness of winter snow. It is light, and shadow and all that lies in between. It is the song of the birds and other creatures of the wild. It is being in the presence of Mother Earths nature and being humbled in reverence. To be a Witch is to be a healer, a teacher, a seeker, a giver, and a protector of all things. If this path is yours, may you walk it with honor, light and integrity.

Wicca is a belief system and way of life based upon the reconstruction of pre-Christian traditions originating in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. While much of the information of how our ancestors lived, worshiped and believed has been lost due to the efforts of the medieval church to wipe our existence from history, we try to reconstruct those beliefs to the best of our ability with the information that is available.

Thanks to archaeological discoveries, we now have basis to believe that the origins of our belief system can be traced even further back to the Paleolithic peoples who worshiped a Hunter God and a Fertility Goddess. With the discovery of these cave paintings, estimated to be around 30,000 years old, depicting a man with the head of a stag, and a pregnant woman standing in a circle with eleven other people, it can reasonably be assumed that Witchcraft is one of the oldest belief systems known in the world toady. These archetypes are clearly recognized by Wiccans as our view of the Goddess and God aspect of the supreme creative force.

Many who follow the nature oriented beliefs have adopted the name of Wicca over its true name of Witchcraft to escape the persecution, harassment and misinformation associated with the name of Witchcraft and Witch not to mention the bad publicity the press and Hollywood has given us simply to generate a profit.

Initiation and the first degree

Degree initiation is a new beginning rather than the end of something. A Degree initiation ceremony is a powerful and moving experience. Our path of Wicca follows the traditional practice of insisting on at least a year and a day of study before initiation to the First Degree. In our theme you will be brought blindfolded and bound and challenged at the threshold of the circle to determine if you enter of your own free will and measure will be taken and returned to you. It symbolizes being reborn into a new life of being a Wiccan. Initiation represents recognition of a certain level of mystical understanding. Part of its purpose is recognition, but it is given after you finish the first level. In our traditions, it also links you to the lineage of those who have come before you and transforms the initiate and improves him or her as a person and a Wiccan. During this time, the seeker studies and completes assignments designated by the coven's High Priest. This includes books to read, written assignments to turn in, public activities, demonstration of skills or knowledge obtained etc.etc.

Second Degree

At Second Degree, you should have enough understanding of the Craft to be able to teach it and perform rituals if required. The ritual for initiation in this level involves a symbolic death and rebirth. An initiate is seeking to become an instrument of the Divine. A Second-Degree seeker is called a Priest or a Priestess they are someone who has shown that they have advanced beyond the basics of First Degree. They are often tasked with assisting the High Priest, leading rituals, teaching classes, etc. Sometimes they may even act as mentors to new initiates. This is a self-study level with guidance of the High Priest in our tradition of Wicca.

Third Degree

Wiccans who have reached Third Degree should be able to understand Wicca well enough to intelligently debate and create theology. A Third Degree Initiate may choose to hive off and form their own coven if they want. This degree is only granted to those who intend to form their own coven or part ways. However one can choose to remain at Second Degree for years and continue to be a part of ours.
