Wicca is a complicated religion, philosophy
and way of life that has varying origins and beliefs.
It has become very popular in recent years due to its appearance in mainstream
culture, mystifying the masses. Wicca is a religion that ties man
to nature, and puts an emphasis on the importance and responsibility of
intellect. Contrary to popular belief, Wiccans do not practice evil
or devil worship. The number one rule in Wicca,
stated in different ways, is "Do What Thou Wilst, But Harm None". The
Three Fold Law in Wicca states that whatever you do, whether it be good or
evil, will come back to you three times over.
