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.

Welcome To The Paranormal Dimension

Welcome To The Paranormal Dimension
Happy Lammas Day! The Paranormal Dimension is back! After two years of publication, at Blogspot, and then at WordPress.com, my account was suspended because WordPress.com said another blog of mine violated their terms of service (after having previously told me it didn't). The Paranormal Dimension disappeared with my account. It's so gone that even the Wayback Machine can't find it. Thanks to WordPress.com, a year and a half of posts were lost.

I considered including the six months of posts from the original blog here at Blogspot, but decided against it. I just re-posted my articles on witchcraft and developing psychic powers. Otherwise, it's a fresh start.

The Paranormal Dimension is the world of ESP, UFOs, time travel, cryptozoology, the occult, magic, and witchcraft. Since the beginning of time, people have experienced the weird, the unexplained, and the supernatural. The Paranormal Dimension will tell their stories.
