Wicca is a modern pagan, witchcraft religion

Wicca is a diverse religion with no central authority or figure defining it.

Wicca often involves the ritual practice of magic, though it is not always necessary

Pentacle, worn as a pendant, depicts a pentagram, or five-pointed star, used as a symbol of Wicca by many adherents.

Beliefs in Wicca range from hard polytheism to even monotheism.

Wicca is typically duotheistic, worshipping a god and goddess traditionally viewed as a mother goddess and horned god.

The term Wicca first achieved widespread acceptance when referring to the religion in the 1960s and 70s

Application of the word Wicca has given rise to "a great deal of disagreement and infighting".

The Goddess and the God may be regarded as the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine

The God and Goddess are generally seen as lovers and equals, the Divine Couple who together co-create the cosmos.

Traditionally the God is viewed as a Horned God, associated with nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting and the life cycle

The Horned God is given various names according to the tradition, and these include Cernunnos, Pan, Atho and Karnayna.

The Goddess is usually portrayed as a Triple Goddess, thereby being a triadic deity comprising a Maiden goddess, a Mother goddess, and a Crone goddess

Some Wiccans, particularly from the 1970s onwards, have viewed the Goddess as the more important of the two deities, who is pre-eminent in that she contains and conceives all. In this respect, the God is viewed as the spark of life and inspiration within her, simultaneously her lover and her child.

The Maverick Shaman And Healer Meet In Aquarius

The Maverick Shaman And Healer Meet In Aquarius

CHIRON ENTERS AQUARIUS FOR A WHILE

Part One:

Chiron's direct ingress into Aquarius on 12/6/05 at 1:06AM GMT

Previous ingress was earlier this year: 2/21/05. Note the wounded healer went retrograde back into Capricorn in the summer.

So what will this long journey in Aquarius mean for all of us?

LETS TALK ABOUT CHIRON


When we deal with two radical, charismatic and social changing energies: an asteroid an the sign of electric movement,we can only expected the unexpected.

After all since Chiron has been in the domain of the water bearer, we have seen the collective, people, groups, indigenous, associations expressing their deep societal, pains. Gathering in groups for huelgas, protests, marches, strikes, demonstrations all over the world from Boston, Melbourne, Edinburgh, Caracas, Rome, Paris to Coachabamba, Bolivia. Humanity, the average people are holding their fists at the empire demanding their food, water, property and god given rights and getting them. Latin America is on fire with Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, Subcomandante Marcos in Mexico, Mr. Lula da Silva in Brazil, Morales and the entire Indian collective in Bolivia of miners, farmers the workers who have resurrected the ghost of Simon Bolivar..

First of all just try to define Chiron the infamous wounded healer anyway - I dare you:

He was a centaur - half horse, half man.

IT HAS BEEN SAID: CHIRON REPRESENTS A BOTH THE EXTRA-ORDINARY HEALING CRISIS AND EXTRA-SENSORY HEALING GIFTS - ALL ROLLED UP INTO ONE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ENERGY FORCE.

So what about that notorious wound?

Chiron was accidentally wounded in the leg by a poisoned arrow; this would have killed him but he was descended from the immortals

He was a centaur - half horse, half man.

He taught all the famous Greek heroes, Hercules - in fact it was Hercules arrow that gave him that infamous

Both Jason, and Aesclapius were trained by this centaur.

He was also a healer, herbalist (using herbs growing around his mountain home on Mt. Pelion) and naturopath.

He has had to carry this wound for the rest of his earthly life.

Thus he became known as the Wounded-Healer. This powerful archetype of the planet Chiron symbolizes we are all wounded and therefore need to heal ourselves. Note that the 1977 discovery of Chiron coincided with the rising popularity of holistic healing therapies. We are also realizing that the Earth too is wounded and in need of healing, so likewise we have become familiar with the terms environmentalism and reverence for Gaia - Earth as a living being.

Zane Stein, a foremost Chiron Scholar says: "When Chiron enters a sign, the world focus on the most basic, root problems at the heart of things ruled by the sign its in. "Chiron's approximate stay in the sign Capricorn is 4 years plus four months out of every 51 years.

In Aquarius we have a long visit till February 2011 - revolution is in the air in many ways. Despite NWO (New World Order) beliefs that Globalization will succeed don't count on it with the wild card Aquarius in electric harmony with it's ruler Uranus now in spiritual Pisces.

We all carry wounds in through our lives with the promise of achieving the higher octave of healing. Chiron makes our wounds into not just an affliction, tribulation, badge of courage but something that can allow higher teaching to prevail. It is the sign and house placement in our natal chart that will help us understand how our hero's journey is designated.
