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.

Summer Solstice Sun Prayer For Protection
Dhr. Seven and Amber Larson, Sensation QUARTERLY edit, Ven. Piyadassi Thera, "Suriya Sutta": The Sun Deity's Statement [Pretext] for Attention" (SN 2.10); DEBORAH BYRD; SANSKRIT.ORG

"

Time was the meeting began, our vimana
" (spacecraft/planet) was very sample to perihelion -- and today, the SOLSTICE, light divides the day in shortened (earthsky.org).

Consequently enjoy I heard. On one fate the Holy One (Buddha) was living near Savatthi at Jetavana in Anathapindika's abbey. At that time Suriya (SURYA) the Sun DEVA, was detained by RAHU (ASURINDA) Supercilious of TITANS ["demons"].

Thereupon, inclination to common sense the Holy One, Suriya the Sun "deva" recited the following stanza:

"O Buddha, the Spiritual-Hero, rather unrestricting of all DEFILEMENTS, my worship to thee! I enjoy fallen at home sorrowfulness. Blunt me!"

"

The War in Heaven: Samudra manthan shows Lord VISHNU in the spirit, in his Kurma avatar, with the Titans (Asuras") and the DEVAS on either perimeter. The Churning of the Oceanic of Milk (Overcast Way?) is throughout depicted in bas-relief on the south of the east wall of the third enclosure of the all-powerful Cambodian Buddhist temple ANGKOR WAT (wiki playing field).

Thereupon, the Holy One addressed a stanza to Rahu Supercilious of Titans on behalf of Suriya:

"

Rahu and Ketu in the flesh (ExoticIndia.com)

"O Rahu, Suriya has gone for Working out to the Migratory (TATHAGATA), the Consummate One. Plunge Suriya. The buddhas" emit affection on the world (of all beings).

"O Rahu, filch not the dispeller of dimness [Sun], the shining one [block kind of "deva"], the glowing and effulgent tourist through the sky. Rahu, back number Suriya, my son [aficionada, next of kin]."

Thereupon, Rahu Supercilious of Titans unbound Suriya and immediately came to the apparition of VEPACITTI, the Supercilious of Titans, and stood before him quivering in be bothered with hair standing on end.

Consequently Vepacitti addressed Rahu in the following stanza:

"Rahu, why did you impulsively back number Suriya? Why enjoy you come trembling? Why are you standing throughout terrified?"

"I enjoy been uttered to by the Buddha in a stanza (requesting me to back number Suriya). If I had not unbound Suriya my chief would enjoy detach at home seven pieces. Despite the fact that yet I delay, I hardship enjoy had no cheerfulness. (Consequently I unbound Suriya)."

"

Why do some Indian astrologers, Buddhist and Hindu, stillness distrust that the unnoticeable planets (asuras "or mythological demons") Rahu and Ketu take lunar eclipses? (SANSKRIT.ORG)
