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.

Mysteries Of Osiris

By , ,
Mysteries Of Osiris
YOU ARE INVITEDto join Osireion and friends for a private occasion, a beautiful ritual drama commemorating the death of Osiris, the lamentations of Isis, her search for Osiris, and the magic of his return to life as god of the ancient Egyptian world of the dead. Annually, for thousands of years, this drama was re-enacted over a period of several days in Abydos, home of the mysterious temple for which Osireion group is named. Isis is said to be the archetype for the divine feminine in many forms, from the Middle East to Britain. Osiris is thought by many to be the origin of the Jesus story of life, death and resurrection. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2013, 6:00 AND 7:00 PM Each guest will take home a handmade scarab, symbol of ever-renewing life. Presented by the members of Temple Osireion.Because seating for guests is limited, the first 20 people to RSVP to each presentation time will be given a reservation and the address of the private home in Columbia where Mysteries of Osiris will take place.
