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.

Islamic Renaissance And Iran Green Movement
The Green Movement, is a new movement within the Islamic regime, that tries to put Islam above Iran's own ten thousand year old culture: a culture rich in morality and philosophy, and non-violence.The advent of Khomeini was a blessing in disguise. It forced Iranians to dig archeologically (in the proper sense of the word) Iran's past. They have found what a glorious past it was, built by people who loved culture and civilization.The true Iranian opposition was inspired from 1979 by the spirit of non-violence and free will, as it is written by books like the Zend-Avesta, which Eclipses the Koran by a long way, in the areas of morality and enlightenment. Many in Iran have kept the truth or Ahuramazda alive in their hearts, and have handed it down verbally for thousands of years (seeneh be seeneh as we Iranians say), to escape the horror of Islam that burnt all our books.Now with the advent of the internet, many Iranians have converted by to the original philosophy of Iran, and the regime is aware of this mass exodus, and can do nothing about it. Islam has lost the hearts and minds of all Iranians. Very few call their new born children Mohammad or FatimaRead the Article at HuffingtonPost
