Who Is God?
Wicca worships the Triple Goddess (typically comprised by the Virgin, Mother, and Wise Woman/Crone) which is associated with the waxing, full, and waning moon phases.
They also worship the Horned God, also known as Herne. This God and Goddess pair are sometimes given specific names and sometimes so revered as only to be named in ritual, simply called the Lady and the Lord.
Wiccans believe that for the Divine to be complete and whole, it must be both male and female.
All gods and goddesses, even of various faiths, are accepted as different aspects of one greater Divine Power.
Like in other forms of Paganism, Wiccans also worship nature as divine.
Where Did We Come From? And Why Are We Here?
Wicca teaches reincarnation, in which the spirit is reborn to meet again the people with whom they had close personal connections in previous lives.
Unlike other reincarnation beliefs, Wiccans believe that the goal is not to escape reincarnation on earth but to enjoy experiencing life repeatedly until the spirit has learned everything it possibly can.
Once this has happened, and the spirit no longer reincarnates, it enters a blissful realm called 'the land of youth' or 'summerland.'
Some Wiccans, however, do not believe in reincarnation and instead embrace a more naturalist ending of death, with the human bodies’ molecules decaying and returning to the earth, incorporated into other entities.
The ultimate goal of the practice on earth is 'deep communion with the powers of Nature and of the human psyche, leading to a spiritual transformation of the self.'
Humans are here to worship the God and Goddess and reawaken one’s self to oneness with the universe.
