Wicca is a nature and magic based religion that is taken from the
Pagan practices of ancient times. Wicca mimics other world religions
with its own rituals, seasonal "holidays" and belief system. The beliefs
of the religion can vary by region, since there is no orthodox method
of practice or central organization. There are, however, published
teachings and works that most Wiccans adhere to.
The majority of Wiccans worship a God and Goddess who are considered to be equal, complimentary beings, and often are represented by the sun and moon. There is a trinity concept in this religion, with the Triple Goddess having aspects of the "Mother", "Crone" and "Maiden". Many members of Wicca concede that the Goddess had to predate her companion since she is the giver of life.
