Wiccan rede
Wicca is a religion that is based on old pagan beliefs. As wiccans we celebrate Sabbats, pray to our God and Goddess, follow the wheel of the year amongst other things. Some wiccans practice in witch craft althoe you don’t have to to be a Wiccan and although we don’t have so say a set of laws we follow the Wiccan rede which is a code we follow.
SABBATS
As wiccans we celebrate 8 Sabbats in the year these festivals follow the changing of the Seasons, the story of the God and Goddess, and the wheel of the year.
God And Goddess
HORNED GOD
The horned god or horn God is the male aspect of wicca also represented by the sun. He is represented by many names for example pan, Cernunnos, herne.
Goddess
The Goddess in wicca is the female aspect of wicca and has three aspects the maiden, mother and crone which is also represented by three stages of the moon cycle.
Some wiccans choose to worship other gods and Goddess as well but that’s optional all depends on your path.
Book Of Shadows
Another item that most wiccans have is a book of shadows. A book of shadows is a personal book to you that you can right down all you learn along the way and also a place to right down spells if you go on to do so. Think of it as a diary of learning you can reflect on. Also good for writing Wiccan prayers.
Wiccan Altar

- Altar cloth

- Candles
- Statues of the god and Goddess
- Something to represent for elements fire, water, earth, air,
- Wand
