Well" not (uite) Witchca!t" o WICCA" is a eli#ion) Wicca is not %i$aily about$a#ic" thou#h it &oes use it) Wicca is about you %lace in the Uni*ese an& you e*olution as as%iitual bein#) Wicca is about $o*in# !owa& on you %esonal s%iitual +ouney , aboutleanin#" #owin#" an& beco$in# the $ost you can be)

Wicca is a eli#ion) Wicca is a way o! un&estan&in# an& inteactin# with Deityan& the Uni*ese)

It is a li!e,a!!i$in# %ath o! #owth an& e-%ansion) Wicca is base& on e*eence!o Natue an& He cycles" es%ect !o the Eath an& all He ceatues) Wicca e*ees the natual!oces o! the Uni*ese an& sees the$ e!lecte& in the wol& aoun& us" an& in e*ey %esonan& thin#) Wicca has #eat e*eence !o Deity" Who !o us has both a .othe an& a /athe as%ect)Wiccans a%%oach Deity thou#h $any na$es an& !o$s" both $asculine an& !e$inine"&awn !o$ all o*e the wol& an& !o$ e*ey a#e) We o!ten co$%ae Deity to a &ia$on& with $any!acets0 each na$e o i$a#e !o Deity is li'e one !acet on the &ia$on&) Each !acet $ay beconsi&ee& se%aately an& all ae beauti!ul in the$sel*es" but all ae as%ects o! the sin#lestone)

Wicca belie*es that Deity co$es to each %eson in the way that is bestun&estoo& by that %eson" an& that this is &i!!eent !o &i!!eent %eo%le) Wicca belie*es that theelationshi% between a %eson an& Deity is hi#hly in&i*i&ual" %esonal" an& sub+ecti*e) Not e*eyonewill ha*e the sa$e un&estan&in# o!

WHAT WI22 YOU 3ET /RO. THESE 2ESSONS

I! you co$%lete this couse o! 9: lessons" you will be eli#ible !o initiation into the/ist De#ee o! Coellian Wicca) The /ist De#ee is the lowest le*el o! initiatoy $e$beshi% ina WICCAN TRADITION) Wicca is co$%ose& o! $any ta&itions $ost ,but not all, o! whicheco#ni;e each othes initiations) I! you choose to ta'e the /ist De#ee initiation ,an& you aenot obli#ate& to, you will beco$e a $e$be o! the Coellian ta&ition) The Coellian ta&ition is asynchetic an& hi#hly %hiloso%hical ta&ition o! Wicca" which stesses the inheent unity o! all

1a#an ta&itions an& the synchonicity o! all s%iitual %aths) We belie*e that Deity is in all thin#s"thee!oe all %aths can lea& to Deity)

Wicca is not an e-clusi*e eli#ion) Because we belie*e all %aths lea& to Deity" we&o not belie*e that one $ust belon# to any #i*en !aith o ta&ition to be a #oo& %eson o to#ow s%iitually) No is it necessay to belon# to only one) Bein# a Coellian initiate &oes not $eanyou can not also be an Isian" Dui&ic" o Dianic initiate as well ,o any othe ta&ition you $i#ht wishto stu&y o +oin) You $ust howe*e es%ect ou ta&ition as a $e$be an& !ollow Coellian%actices in Coellian te$%les ,but what you &o othe %laces is you own business) You %i*ate belie!san& conscience ae you own business an& we ha*e no &esie to &ictate the$ to you) Wicca isabout leanin# to $a'e you own choices" an& the Wiccan ta&itions e-ist to %o*i&e a !a$ewo'in which to lean an& #ow) Wicca see's to o%en you thin'in#" not to li$it it)

SO YOU WANT TO BE A WITCH?

You want to be a Wiccan)

To be a Wiccan is to $o*e at one with Deity)

To be a Wiccan is to hono Natue an& all that is in He) To ac'nowlee the li!ein all thin#s" an& be in ha$ony with it)

To be a Wiccan is to wo' with the seen an& the unseen) To lean the $a#icalsecets o! stones" o! %lants" an& ani$als , to s%ea' to the !aeies an& the s%iits an& to hea theie%lies)

To be a Wiccan is to use e*ey tool a*ailable to #ow" to lean" to beco$e thebest that you can

be) To use $a#ic" $e&itation" an& itual to o*eco$e all li$itations" all !eas" alli$%e!ections" an& to $o*e always in ha$ony with Deity" always to the #oo&" always in acco&ancewith you hi#hest sel!)
