Principles of Wiccan Belief

This list of beliefs was created by the 1974 Council of American Witches to offer a unified document outlining the basic beliefs of Wiccans. Although left intentionally vague to be inclusive of a variety of paths, the primary purpose of the document was to help dispel myths of the religion.

It's become a guiding document to outside authorities, such as the Army Chaplain's Handbook, as a brief reference to defining Wicca. It remains a great resource for understanding values found within Wicca and Witchcraft in America.

In seeking to be inclusive, we do not wish to open ourselves to the destruction of our group by those on self-serving power trips, or to philosophies and practices contradictory to those principles. In seeking to exclude those whose ways are contradictory to ours, we do not want to deny participation with us to any who are sincerely interested in our knowledge and beliefs, regardless of race, color, sex, age, national or cultural origins, or sexual preference.

1. We practice rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm of life forces marked by the phases of the Moon and the seasonal Quarters and Cross Quarter.
2. We recognize that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility toward our environment. We seek to live in harmony with Nature, in ecological balance offering fulfillment to life and consciousness within an evolutionary concept.
3. We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than that apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary, it is sometimes called supernatural, but we see it as lying within that which is naturally potential to all.
4. We conceive of the Creative Power in the universe as manifesting through polarity -- as masculine and feminine -- and that this same Creative Power lies in all people, and functions through the interaction of the masculine and feminine. We value neither above the other, knowing each to be supportive to the other. We value sex as pleasure, as the symbol and embodiment of life, and as one of the sources of energies used in magickal practice and religious worship.
5. We recognize both outer worlds and inner, or psychological, worlds sometimes known as the Spiritual World, the Collective Unconscious, Inner Planes, etc. -- and we see in the interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomena and magickal exercises. We neglect neither dimension for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment.
6. We do not recognize any authoritarian hierarchy, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership.
7. We see religion, magick and wisdom in living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it -- a world view and philosophy of life which we identify as Witchcraft -- the Wiccan Way.
8. Calling oneself "Witch" does not make a Witch -- but neither does heredity itself, nor the collecting of titles, degrees and initiations. A Witch seeks to control the forces within her/himself that make life possible in order to live wisely and well without harm to others and in harmony with Nature.
9. We believe in the affirmation and fulfillment of life in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness giving meaning to the Universe we know and our personal role within it.
10. Our only animosity towards Christianity, or towards any other religion or philosophy of life, is to the extent that its institutions have claimed to be "the only way" and have sought to deny freedom to others and to suppress other ways of religious practice and belief.
11. As American Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the history of the Craft, the origins of various terms, the legitimacy of various aspects of different traditions. We are concerned with our present and our future.
12. We do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do we worship any entity known as "Satan" or "the Devil", as defined by the Christian traditions. We do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor accept that personal benefit can be derived only by denial to another.
13. We believe that we should seek within Nature that which is contributory to our health and well-being.

** Some authors may have extensive knowledge and experience in their respective fields, while others may be simply capitalizing on the popularity of the occult without providing reliable or well-researched information. Furthermore, **individuals should be mindful of their own biases, preconceptions, and personal experiences when reading occult books.** It can be easy to fall into a confirmation bias trap, where one seeks out information that aligns with their existing beliefs and ignores or dismisses conflicting perspectives. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain an open mind and to critically evaluate the information presented in occult books. Additionally, it is worth noting that **not all occult practices and beliefs are based on empirical evidence or scientific principles.** While some individuals may embrace the mystical and spiritual aspects of the occult, others may dismiss it as pseudoscience or superstition. **Ultimately, the level of trust one has in occult books may depend on their own personal beliefs and experiences with the paranormal or supernatural.** In conclusion, trust in occult books is subjective and depends on various factors, including personal beliefs, experiences, and the credibility of the specific book in question. **It is important to approach occult books with an open mind, critical thinking, and a discerning eye for accuracy and legitimacy.** Depending on the individual, these books can provide valuable insights, guidance, and a connection to something greater, or they may be dismissed as pseudoscience or superstition..
