I'm Wiccan! Ask me anything!

Do you weigh the same as a duck?

Cool! I'm just getting into Wicca, it's an awesome religion. Can I ask, what deities do you worship?

Also, where do you mainly go for research? What books have been helpful for you?

why?

Why am I Wiccan? It's the same reason someone is Christian or Buddhist. It's my belief, my faith.

Yes, but that's not really an answer—why is it your belief?

Because I believe in it? Because I like the morals, the confidence and happiness it brings me? That's an interesting question, and a hard one to answer other than it's my belief lmao.

What are the basic principles of this religion? Like, do you have a 10 commandments sort of thing?

We have 2 main things. The Wiccan rede (The most important lines from this are: "These eight words the rede fulfil, and harm ye none, do what you will). It basically means that you can do whatever you wish, as long as you don't harm anybody doing it. The second is our way of describing karma, the Three Fold Law. This means that whatever you do comes back to you three times over, be it positive or negative.

Those are decent startpoints. But I do think belief ought to be justified in some way. Is there some sort of soteriology? Christians are Christians because they hedge their bets on salvation (well...), Buddhists are Buddhists because the psychology of Buddhism is meant to provide salvific reprieve from dissatisfaction etc. Does your flavour of Wicca offer something similar?
