Wicca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3328 words) |
 | It is considered to be a learned skill, referring to the casting of spells and the practice of magic or magick (the use of the "k" is 'in order to distinguish the Science of the Magi from all its counterfeits', and was coined as a spelling by Aleister Crowley). |
| Many Gardnerian Wiccans do not claim to be dualist, but rather, may practice some form of polytheism, often with particular reference to the Celtic pantheons; they may also be animists, pantheists, agnostics or indeed any of the other spectacular range of possibilities. |
| Wiccans celebrate eight main holidays (or Sabbats): four cross-quarter days called Samhain, Beltane (or Beltaine), Imbolc (also called Imbolg, Oimelc, or Candlemas) and Lammas (or Lughnasadh), as well as the solstices, Litha and Yule, and equinoxes, Ostara (or Eostar or Eostre) and Mabon (see Wheel of the Year). |
