It is often said that magic exists only in the realm of fiction and illusion. However, when we look closely at our own lives, we may realize that magic is not so far-fetched after all. In fact, we all have the power to create magic in our own lives and in the lives of others. Magic, in this sense, refers to the extraordinary and seemingly impossible things that happen when we believe in ourselves and the world around us. It is the ability to transform ordinary moments into something extraordinary, to find beauty and wonder in the mundane. It is the power to create positive change and make a difference, no matter how small.
INFOGRAPHIC: Wicca, Druidry, Paganism, Asatru, What Are They?
Most wiccans believe in a horned male god and a moon goddess.
The only wiccans who do not believe in both the goddess and the god are those who belong to the Dianic Wicca. They believe in the existence of only the goddess.
Some wiccans believe that the god and the goddess are equal. However, other wiccans believe that the goddess is more important than the god.
Druidry
Druidry comes from the legends around King Arthur.
One of the clearest connections between Arthuriana and Druidry is the Loyal Arthurian Warband, a Druidic group that uses Arthurian symbolism as part of its environmental movement.
There is no one set of beliefs that Druidry follows, so there is a large range of various beliefs.

1. - Samantha - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with "We've Got Magic to Do". The plot was poorly developed and the characters lacked depth. It felt like the filmmakers tried to cram too many magical elements into the story without letting any of them fully develop.
