If there can be so many 'inputs' in the belief system surely many of the members have varying ways of handling or doing things? If so, do you have some kind of leadership that controls this? What would you say is the ultimate goal of each member? |
So basically the order has in common all things based on the worship of a god or goddess? Other than that there are various ways of doing things? I guess it is a loose order then and there are no specific requirements to 'start' as it were save for what may be established by a Coven as you called it. How do such groups view the Bible and other religions?

dragongoddss, what about the "after life" ?
Ive done some reading and know two people along the lines of Wiccans but never got into the after life. Does it just break down to energy, never ending just changeing ?
Thnks for the info you have already posted.

First, I never been in a coven so I don't really know what it's like. I only know what I have been told.
We feel you should be free to choose the religion with which you are most comfortable with, and if that is another religion then that's ok with us. We try to be respectful toward other religions, in hopes that they will do the same for us. Even if they don't you will find we are a very tolerant group of people.

Most of us believe in reincarnation.
The Spiritual Growth concept of Re-Incarnation is in essence a training ground for the spirit. It allows the spirit to grow and learn so that it one day may enter the beautiful Summerland. A spirit will re-incarnate through just about all forms of different objects. This is done to allow the spirit to experience and learn that every object holds a value. Everything is a part of the creative life-force spirit. Should a spirit "fail" the lessons that should have been learned in any one stage, they will be reincarnated back into the same stage ... so that the correct lessons can be learned ... before it can move to the next stage.

Are there religious groups that are knowingly accepting of Wiccans or Witches? To me most religious groups of today seem to shun the idea of a 'witch among them' so to speak? |

I have lots of Christian friends and family who are ok with me being a Pagan. |
