Wicca, for me...

"I am thinking of incorporating wicca due to the fact that intentions can be more concrete through ritual and imagination"

This is a great way to verbalize the "intention" of wicca. I enjoy the ritual and joy celebrating a "goddess" deity or the "green man" of celtic history.

My friend Dori stated once, "Wicca connects me to my femine history. The cauldron, the blessing of gardens and home... wicca is a "woman's history". A connection with the femine energy form ceturies ago..." With that one statement, I thought "ahh ha..."

Imaginiation isn't only for children. Vision and invisioning intentions are powerful tools. Not to be trite with the comparison but, think of Christmas.

When a child is very young and is "allowed" to believe in Santa, elves and the North Pole; Christmas is magic. The candy cane lanes and singing reindeer... all of it is a beautiful fantasy. It isn't just getting presents. But once a child is told there is no Santa, no elves and reindeer don't fly... it's all about the presents and how much they are going to (or not going to) get. Then we could throw the whole brainwashing Jesus baby thing in there but hey, that's another discussion.

The magic is the tool for your intention. I love Mother and I connect with the blessings of nature. Wicca allows me the relaxed tools in which to practice those intentions.

There is no wrong way to "do" wicca. There is but one creed "Do what ye will but harm ye none". I think of how much blood has spilled in the name of "christ" and I think... wicca is evil? Man is confused.
