Start the Journey of the Wiccan Faith

Becoming Wiccan requires knowledge of these basic steps. Follow them, and you will be well on your way.

Steps

  1. Consider your reasons for becoming a Wiccan. Most Cowan (non-Wiccans) are keen on the ideas of Wicca to cast spells and gain power over others. They have seen the make-believe versions of witches over bubbling cauldrons and brewing sparkling potions. They initially want to gain power, and wave their wands, and exercise control over nature, people and the world.
  2. Dispel your desire to work magick for the sake of power. Wicca is probably more and less powerful than you can ever imagine. Wicca isn't about power over another. The Wiccan Rede severely restricts Wiccans' spells and rituals. It prohibits manipulation, harm, and coercion. Spells must be used for the good of all, and they cannot harm anyone or any living being.
  3. Cast a spell to be open to love. A spell to be more responsive to opportunity. A spell to heal your body, mind, and spirit. A witch cannot cast a spell to manipulate someone to fall in love with her/him.
  4. Be patient. A Wiccan is not something you can become overnight. It takes time, dedication, mental and spiritual training, just to become proficient. The learning never stops and spells become more powerful as you follow the path.
  5. Learn the guidelines and rules. Wicca has few strict rules and guidelines of behavior. One finds one's morals within oneself. Wiccans try to cast their spells with the everlasting thought that it must not harm anyone, including themselves.
  6. Be prepared for abuse from people who don't understand. Wicca has been wrongfully associated with Nazis, Satanists, and dark worshipers, while there are some places in North America where Wiccans can be open about their beliefs and practices, there are other places where verbal abuse and harassment are prominent.
  7. If you decide you want to become a Wiccan, learn more about the practices and beliefs and Wicca in general. You may look to the left for New Textbooks for Witches or click here for the Witches Bookstore. After you gain knowledge about Wicca, you then would want to decide if you want to join a coven or become a solitary practitioner.

Tips

  • Be open-minded; nothing happens overnight.
  • Only follow this path for the right reasons.
  • Be honest and put in the time and effort needed to become a good witch.
  • Wicca is not the same as being a witch. You can be Wiccan even if you don't practice magic, and if you do practice magic, it doesn't mean you are Wiccan.

Warnings

  • Just because you like Harry Potter doesn't mean you are destined to be a witch. However, it can provide a starting point for interest in the Wiccan faith.
