"The Craft of Wicca was developped by Gerald Gardner and introduced to the British public during the 1950s. Using material gathered from a New Forest Coven and the Order Of The Temple Orientis, Gardner produced a magical synthesis which allowed traditional Witchcraft to engage with the modern world. In the years that followed, Alex Sanders rewrote many of the Gardnerian rituals and established his own Coven. Though some covens still identify themselves as "Gardnerian " or "Alexandrian", the old division seem less important today, and the ritual system elucidated here draws on both traditions.
Wicca is founded upon the fertility of the land and the continuation of life. IN Wicca, all living things are sacred. IN Nature, both masculine and feminine play equally important roles. The essence of all that is maculine is portrayed a the Horned God and the White Goddess potrays the essence of all that is feminine. There are no hard and fast rules in Wicca other than:"Do as thou wilt-but harm thou none!"
There are three sacraments in Wicca: Love, Life and Truth. These are valued above all else; without them there can be no harmony within the group. IN our society, honesty, compassion and repsect for life are rare. This is one of the reasons why many people are attracted to Wicca as a way of life. Although many pagans call themselves Wiccans, a true Wiccan is someone who has been initiated into the Craft.
The rituals of Wicca are designed to develop an awareness and an understanding of the unseen energies that surround us. Everything, that exists is shaped by the same Creator and joined together by the strands of a vast cosmic web. Therefore there is no part of us that is not "one of the Gods." Through the rituals of Wicca, we may once more connect with Mother Earth and restore the harmony between us."
