Magick Source offers comprehensive education and training in Wicca via live classes or distance study for personal growth or development or as Degree-based Initiatory clerical training.
Wicca is a religion of understanding and interacting with deity and the universe. It is a life-affirming path of growth and expansion. Wicca is based on reverence for nature and her cycles, respect for the earth and all her creatures. Wicca reveres the natural forces of the universe and sees them reflected in the world around us, and in every person and thing. Wicca has great reverence for deity, who for us has both a Mother and a Father aspect. Wiccans approach deity through many names and forms, both masculine and feminine, drawn from all over the world and from every age. We often compare deity to a diamond with many facets; each name or image for deity is like one facet on the diamond. Each facet may be considered separately and all are beautiful in themselves, but all are aspects of the single stone. Wicca believes that deity comes to each person in the way that is best understood by that person, and that this is different for different people.
