Wicca is an Experiential Religion of Personal Gnosis
Whether you’re a self-taught solitary or a trained coven member, the underlying goal of Wicca is developing your spirituality through personal gnosis. Emphasis is put on, not doctrine, dogma, or scripture, but on personal experience, an interpersonal relationship with the Gods, and divine revelation. This lends a flexibility to Wicca, leaving Wiccans to adopt a number of spiritual interests into their religious practices as they see fit, such as astrology, numerology, the Tarot, divination, spell casting, herbalism, or psychic development.
There are certainly a number of equally beautiful and fulfilling Pagan paths, but Wicca has been one of the key religions at the forefront of the Pagan revival. Now, growing out of its infancy and tottering on unsteady legs, let’s hope it finds firm footing and continues to grow and thrive.

My heart is big for I love nature.
Authority, I always question.
Magick is a current inside me.
Magick is a thought-twisted; bent.
Equilibrium is what I am....
The wise beg for equilibrium.
King master of the middle pillar.
I seek to discover the unknown.
A neophyte on the throne to seek.
No desire makes me a master.
My true master is the Phase of Moon.
Truly indeed, I learn from her tides.
Forever in service the gaia.
Forever not will to hypnotize.
The path reveals my own bewitchment.
Along the path; I even hug trees.
Dancing of love and live to meet Pan.
His forest is indeed my center.
