Re: visited NZ’s first official wicca church for a full-moon ceremony in Auckland. The high priest tells us about how wicca has been misunderstood, and the power that it holds for both men and women.
This story is part of Re:’s Belief Week. From young people who are celibate, to New Zealand’s first Wicca church, we take a look at what belief, religion and spirituality mean today.

Thanks for sharing. I have not heard of this Church of Wicca. Where is it situated?
Very nicely done. Thank you.
Wow look at all the judgy people..We each have our own belief and in that the right to choose which path we want....to be guided through, over lifetimes. I myself a 1st degree Wiccan (an earth based religion and spiritual practice). It doesn't matter what you want to believe, that is all apart of your contract when you come to the earth and reincarnated. People need to understand more about their own lives and not get caught up in who is right and wrong. We should be encouraging each other in our paths (whatever that may be) and feeling blessed that we are even here on this wonderful exsistance taking breath. Marvel in the small things, they are the things that we find matter the most. Blessings

Well said my friend.
As someone who practices witchcraft, I can say that there are some things that are wrong in this video. Also for all the people in the comments are saying Bible verses, wiccans don't believe in the existence of Satan or demons, demons and Satan are part of judaic, monotheistic religions, wicca is neither a judaic nor monotheistic religion. If you want to know more about actual wicca, I am more than happy to try and answer some of your questions. Blessed Be. And have a good day.

@Neighborhood Zen Priest (Im not saying any of this to be rude, so sorry if it sounds that way). Wiccans celebrate the solstices and equinoxes, but they don't celebrate the Sabbats. The Sabbats are part of paganism because the Sabbats worship other gods, not the ones that wicca follows. Also, robes don't really have any special significance to wicca other than the fact that they can be used as a form of protection and that they can be worn for ceremonies, but they aren't necessary and ceremonial garb can change depending on the coven also, skyclad (ceremonial nudity) has more importance to the religion then robes skyclad is just less commonly used nowadays. Also, in wicca, they don't just worship the Triple Goddess and Horned God but also nature. And wicca is largely based on celtic druidism (I just wanted to mention that because a lot of people don't know)

THOUGHTS - Lili If I could grasp a single thread And take it to my heart tonight And with that thread the fabric weave The secrets of tomorrow's sight And Lo! What would we learn from that What knowledge to be cast aside? By the ones who only think Of self, ambition, Pride Why share with them so they can laugh The knowledge given us with love To cast away, deride. So when the Masters come to teach The very things we seek to learn The treasures given to the few Are theirs for us, The clan's alone And we must cleanse our minds, anew Take the draught, submissive then, atone. If we absorb, the world is ours The universe, the stars The knowledge given us this night Will take us to all Nature's door We'll fly the world within our minds This world is ours Our Paradise. But nothings given without cost, we're special to the Gods If we're impure, of fleeting mind The Spirits won't impart One word of all we have to know So if sincere of mind and heart They'll give and give, accept the flow. Into a trance we share the cup, The salt, the water, blood Within that trance we all are one The Spirits, Coven, life sublime Hold hands and lift us from the ground And circle round life's fire tonight The joy, the love this gives to us Fulfills our lives and grants us flight. And if perchance the Gods desire After we have shown our love The bodies of the Clan entwined They give the gift of ecstasy sublime They own our lives, our thoughts, our time.
I am starting out as a beganing in Wicca

THE LOST AND BESOTTED - Lili Full moon tonight, would you like to play? Come with me to the woods tonight We’ll take a drop of the Witches brew soaked in Mandrake root. Oh yes The marsh and bog won’t slow us down, the moon will show the meadow bright You’ll lay with me on the wet dew grass, the Spirits all will bless The love will flow like a torrent fast the coupling goes on for ages We’ll last all night, through the laughter joy, until the morning light. - You’ll become besotted, deep in love but I’ve stolen your true Spirit It was nothing but a night of love and now I own your soul There’ll be many more I’ll take along, they’ll all become my slaves They’ll procure the sweet young flesh, the blood to fill our bowl And when the number counts to ten, the first three all will die I’ll take three more to the meadow deep, slaves we will control. - They can’t resist the lure of sex and then we share our blood Oh pretty please my handsome man you don’t know what’s in store The Coven takes, the Coven gives and you will give your life Hypnosis deep and potions strong, Succumb to Satan’s whore Chained far in the forest now confusion fills your mind Go steal the young when we demand, this is the Sabbats lore. - And when we’ve finished with your soul you’ll sink into the mire Replaced with others young and strong who cry to do our bidding There’s forests deep all through the land and secrets very dire People lost might wander through, lost forever or just hidden We’ll keep them lost till Sabbats time and then they’ll join our throng The wine the Blood, the Water, Life. Be lost or come, belong. Blessed be.

We believe the highest divine - which is present in all of us - manifests itself in the form of THE Goddess and THE God. The divine feminine and the divine masculine. Over the centuries, mankind has given those energies countless names, therefore we believe all Goddesses are one Goddess and all Gods are one God. How ever you want to address them is up to you and however they reveal themselves to you.

Why did you watch this video? I'm waiting..
I once had dedicated my life to witchcraft. Clairvoyance, tarot card reading, celestial prophecy you name it I was probably doing it. Black magic was everything to me. I too thought I had found a sense of home and belonging until betrayal happened from one of my closest friends. It was admitting myself into a Christian rehab centre looking for drugs and a bed that I found out who Jesus was. Honestly, I went because I knew I could get the drugs that I couldn't get on the street, and I had nowhere to live at the time, so it provided an opportunity for me. I may have learnt to live without all the necessities of this world, but even better I said to God then, if you ever lie to me, I will walk away 21 years later. He has still kept to that promise of never leaving or forsaking me. Deuteronomy 18:10 - 13 “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God.” There is no such thing as a good witch or a bad witch, all are the same to Jesus. Galatians 5:19 - 21 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

@@FlowerPowerNZ I didn't say it was Christian. In fact, it is Jewish Law. Even Jesus was Jewish. But he came to fulfill the law and turn it from a moral justice system to a heartfelt message of repentance. Honestly, what people choose to believe is their truth to them, and all I can say is that is fantastic. I am not about to stop them from doing that, all I am doing is sharing what I choose to believe just the same is what this video is highlighting, the belief of what others believe is true to them.
Yeah. That’s where it starts… Until you need more. And the angel of light will give you more of what you crave, for but a mere price - your soul. Demonic influence takes time, and Lucifer is patient. Turn away from the master deceiver and master of the earth. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the light. If you seek eternal life, the Christ is the only way. Remember… Wicca, like Satan, is both beautiful and deceptive. Mary, mother of God, guide these souls to your Son - the creator of the Universe.
god create everyone with some perpose
Isaiah55:6&7,"Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts.Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." Repent, receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior today.This is God's invitation for redemption, Jesus loves you so much and he is the only WAY to eternity.God bless you

Hello :) I was raised Christian (Methodist to be exact) by my dad. However my mom was wicca and comes from a long lineage of spiritualty and magick practices. My mom passed when I was young so I never learned about any of it but when I started talking to my grandma she introduced me to wicca which immediately felt more natural to me. So that's what I follow. Wicca doesn't believe in hell as Christianity does so you saying that my soul is going to hell is not threating or scary to me. I respect your values and religion and ask you to do the same with mine, I'm am not asking you to be supportive of my decisions but I do ask you to respect my individuality and ability to make choices as a fellow human being. Blessed be.
