Wicca is a very peaceful religion that focuses on harming no one and being kind to the world around you. Wicca is sometimes called the ancient religion because of the similarities to ancient paganism. However, contemporary Wicca is actually one of the newer religions, beginning in the late 19th century. The central belief system of Wicca focuses on the worship of the Goddess and God. Religions around the world believe in a female goddess who is the mother figure of the world. The Goddess is generally worshiped as the triple goddess, meaning the triple form of the great Goddess, Mother, Maiden and Crone. According to Wicca for Beginners by Doreen Brown, the Great Goddess is "both the Mother of all life and creation and the nurturer of all beings" and in Wicca this is particularly linked to the natural world and its cycles (Brown). This is a fundamental belief in Wicca. The Maiden-Mother-Crown is a triple force that acts as a deity somewhat similar to that of the trinity of Christianity. Maiden is representative of new beginnings, morning, spring, innocence and beauty. The Mother represents summer, nature, responsibility, marriage and education. The Old Woman represents night and winter, judgment and wisdom. It...... middle of paper ......gion, but it has shown no signs of decline. The idea of ​​living your life the way you want as long as you don't harm anyone is certainly a beautiful practice that does not seek to punish and control human nature, but rather to celebrate and trust it.

They are both transcendent and immanent through ritual and represent how close the Divine is to us in everyday life. Works Cited Brown, Doreen. Wicca for Beginners: Spell It!. Get Publishing, 2014.
