Wiccan (Witch/Pagan) Values

The Triple Goddess and Horned God Symbols

Duality of the Divine

Wiccans honor the duality of the divine through understanding while reality is split into the male and female aspects, divinity is ultimately united an as interconnected whole.

Magic is Real

It is often defined using this quote from Crowley, “Magic is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur with the conformity with Will.” Wiccans believe that Magic is not greed or power, rather it is a force by6 which what can be imagined can be created and become real.

Nature is Sacred

The rhythms of nature pulse with that of human life course as the divine is woven into its very fabric. Being attuned with nature means believing that all of nature is sacred and should be held in reverence rather than dominated.

All Paths are Blessed

Wiccans see their chosen path as only one of a myriad of possible spiritual paths available. While many other religions espouse a single path to enlightenment. Wiccans believe that all paths lead to the divine are equally acceptable and blessed.

Personal Connections to the Divine

Whether working with a coven or as a solitary practitioner, the connection to the divine is a very personal process. maintaining, building, and sustaining a relationship with the divine is an individual responsibility.

(Side Note: Here is where I feel different pagan traditions diversify the most. Some traditions do not believe these next two need to be followed or believed in. I am not one of those individuals. After walking a dark path for 2 years I came to fully believe in them and teach them to anyone who apprentices under me. But I do refer to the Wiccan Rede as the Wicce Rede meaning a wise women’s rede.)

The Wiccan Rede

“Do what ye will, lest it harm none.” Wiccans are free to engage in any behavior they choose as long as their actions do not harm themselves or others.

The Rule of Three (or The Three-Fold Law)

All the good and all the harm a person does to others will return threefold in this life. Every magical act sent out into the universe will return to the witch three times over.

One thought on “Wiccan (Witch/Pagan) Values

  1. A good article. Here is the way that I started involving the 3-fold law into my daily life – When I was driving, and someone would perform a very dangerous action (as I never was one to be all-disturbed over minor infractions), I would, instead of my “traditional” shouting of curse words in their direction, shout something positive such as may you live a long and healthy life! Ohhhh, and I was 100% sincere! Let me tell you, LOL, it completely changed the energy of the interaction! The recipient was adjusted from a-hole to confused, and sometimes fearful (because I think they thought I was genuinely crazy!), and I was feeling wonderful knowing that not only had I offered this person a genuine wish for a positive blessing to come their way, but also, the same for myself, 3-fold! Positivity out, Positivity in!
