Alexandrian Wicca: A Modern Tradition Rooted in Ancient Witchcraft

Wicca is a modern pagan, witchcraft religion that originated in the mid-20th century. Despite its relatively short history, it has branched out into various alternative forms, each with its own unique practices and beliefs. These alternative branches of Wicca offer different paths for individuals seeking a spiritual connection and connection with nature. **Traditional Wicca** is often referred to as British Traditional Wicca and is based on the teachings of Gerald Gardner. This branch emphasizes the training of initiates and adherence to a hierarchical coven structure. **Gardnerian Wicca** and **Alexandrian Wicca** are two popular traditions under this branch.

Once you've decided what class your new hero is to be, you need to select a race, alignment and sex.

The game also does well in differentiating its various dungeons and locations, keeping everything interesting through varied looks and level designs.

**Gardnerian Wicca** and **Alexandrian Wicca** are two popular traditions under this branch. **Eclectic Wicca** draws from various traditions and practices, allowing practitioners to create their own unique blend of rituals and beliefs. It is a more flexible and individualized form of Wicca, as practitioners are not bound by specific rules or guidelines.

I created a character and it seems the game starts with :

So i shall press # but nothing happens. European keyboard here, i think us-keyboards have the # above the 3, so shift + 3 ..but nothing happens also.

Beside of that..i love those good old games so much but i don't have the patience and the will to take the pain on me, its a really schizophrenic situation, do you have this too ? I feel bad because those games deserve much more love, they were the start of everything.

# means "number".
IOW choose a number from 1 to 5 to choose the town to start from. Sorpigal is town #1 IIRC.

It was done this way since you can't really save the game, only save the character in one of the five Inns. So when you start the game you need to specify which Inn. You can actually have different characters in different Inns too.

Yep, new players are often confused by this. Press 1 to start the game for the first time, later you might choose different numbers if your party saved at a different inn. Just as PetrusOctavianus says.

There are pre-made characters at the Sorpigal Inn, but you probably want to make your own. However, characters you make will start with almost no equipment, whereas the pre-made characters have decent starting equipment. So, take it from them! If you sign out a few pre-made characters and a few or your newly made characters, you can transfer items over to your guys. You'll have to sign in and out of the Inn a few times to transfer all the equipment.

As for the patience required for these older games. I was actually very pleasantly surprised by how much I liked MM1 when I played it for the first time around 2008 or so. It does have some annoyances given its age, but it's really compelling. I especially enjoyed mapping out locations, as they are far more than just mazes and actually feel like the places they are supposed to be, whether it's a magical forest, a mountain peak, or a dark cave. I hadn't played a game that required manual mapping before, but I've played a few since and I think MM1 is one of the best.

Thanks for the info so far ! So just logging out in a inn saves the character ?

Will save the good equipment from the premade characters, sounds very helpful:)

Yes. It also saves automatically. So just make sure *NOT* to go to an Inn with a Dead or Eradicated character. Especially at the beginning of the game. Later on you'll have enough money to Raise Dead or Resurrect.

I also played this game first time in recent times (and by recent I mean 2011) and was surprised to enjoy it very much. I just didn't do my own mapping but used premade ones. There are maps off the net that give you just the outline of the land without spoilers on encounters.

Until you're level 3, this is mostly grinding in starting Town. You face a battle - if you win two or three go back to then Inn and go back immediately if you get decent loot out of something. Some random battles are just unwinnable at the beginning so you simply have to restart (pixies). As you progress further into the game you grind less, though it's still good from time to time to go random monster hunting.

Unlike recent games, most areas are open from the beginning, including the exremely tough ones, so for every new area try a few fights, if they're all too difficult, make a note and come back later.

Very helpful link, i read it actually.
My main problem actually is, that i don't have a clue about the keymapping. Sitting in the tavern and even don't know how to equip the club or to drop equipment of other chars, to equip my main char with it.

Is there a list of keys somewhere ? I cannot move or do anything :D

Edit: i found out that i first have to build a party to be able to leave an inn.

"
To add a character to your party, hold down CONTROL and press the KEY LETTER next to the character's
name on the list of available characters. A @ will appear next to the character's name, marking him/her as a
member of your party. "

But this doesn't work, i press CTRL and then A for the first character in the inn, but nothing happens, no @ appears. What did i do wrong ?
Equipping a item i have in backpack does not work also, i should press E the manual says but nothing happens. But renaming Character via CTRL+ N or delete it via CTRL + D is working, so my keyboard is fine(at least)

The game should come with a better pdf manual under extras.

Yes, as ZFR says, there should be a PDF manual included with the game. It's in the Extras, but I think there should also be a copy in the directory you installed the game to already, even without having to mess with extras. Manuals are critical for these old games since they don't have in-game tutorials at all!

I also forgot the absolute most important tip for starting players: remember to (S)earch after battles! Your main source of income in the game is treasure found after battle, but you have to manually search for it using the "S" key. You have to do this BEFORE MOVING, or you'll miss your chance at the treasure!

Treasure you find is sometimes trapped. So it's best to have your Robber open it. Even so, you may set off traps sometimes. If you are badly hurt after the fight, you can rest before you search for treasure, as long as you don't move. Treasure often contains gold, gems (for spells), and sometimes even usable items or equipment. Speaking of equipment, make sure you actually equip weapons and armor, simply carrying them is not enough.

As ZFR said, there are some fights even in the first town that will be too tough for a level 1 party. But you can run from those, once you figure out what they are. Also, remember that your characters do not level up automatically, you have to visit the trainer and pay for training. So be sure to do that when you have enough experience. Higher level makes a huge difference. Characters will hit more often, have higher health to last longer, and spellcasters get much better spells.

For spells, there are certain "protection" spells that last until the next time you rest and should basically always be on. At the start, the sorcerer's "Leather Skin" is the only one of these you have, but I recommend casting it fresh after every time you rest.

Finally: I want to make another case for making your own maps. For me this was a huge part of why the game was so fun. It's designed around the fact that players will need to map out areas, and it does an amazing job of making each location interesting to navigate and explore. it's also nice because, if your party is killed, you may lose the experience and loot they found since their last visit to an Inn, but you don't lose the map you drew. So it's not a complete loss, and therefore less frustrating. And since it's fully open world, you can just head in a different direction next time.

Some mapping tips: all maps are 16x16 grids, numbered 0 - 15. The Location spell that your sorcerer has will tell you your current position, which makes mapping easy even if you get teleported or something. I used a pencil and graph paper and found it easy to map things out. Leave some space next to each map for notes about points of interest: shops, treasures, hidden secrets, etc.

The game should come with a better pdf manual under extras.

**Feminist Wicca** places a strong emphasis on the goddess and female empowerment within its practice. It seeks to restore the balance between the masculine and feminine energies within both spiritual and societal realms. **Dianic Wicca** is a well-known branch that falls under this category. **Celtic Wicca** focuses on Irish, Scottish, and Welsh mythology and deities. It incorporates Celtic traditions, folklore, and symbols into its rituals and practices. Celtic Wiccans often emphasize a deep connection to nature and the cycles of the seasons. **Stregheria** is an Italian form of Wicca that draws inspiration from the pre-Christian religion of witchcraft known as Stregheria. It incorporates Italian folk magic, customs, and deities into its practice. **Faery Wicca**, also known as Avalonian or Fairy Wicca, centers around the Faery faith and the belief in the existence of faeries and other magical beings. It places an emphasis on the natural world and seeks to establish a connection with the faeries through rituals and meditation. These are just a few examples of the alternative branches of Wicca that exist today. Each branch offers its own unique perspective and practices, allowing individuals to find a spiritual path that resonates with them. Overall, Wicca is a diverse and inclusive religion that embraces individuality and encourages a deep connection with nature and the divine..
