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.

Spiritual Gems By Huzur Maharaj Sawan Singh
"THE GREAT MASTER, HUZUR MAHARAJ BABA SAWAN SINGH JI, HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPONENTS OF THESE TEACHINGS, THAT THE WORLD EVER PRODUCED. BORN IN 1858 IN A HIGHLY RESPECTABLE JAT FAMILY OF PUNJAB, HE SHOWED SIGNS OF GREAT SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD. AS A BOY HE COULD REPEAT BY HEART THE JAPJI SAHIB OF GURU NANAK AND JAP SAHIB OF GURU GOBIND SINGH. HIS GREAT SPIRITUAL HUNGER AND THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH AND REALITY BROUGHT HIM IN CONTACT WITH BABA JAIMAL SINGH JI, IN 1894, WHO AT THE TIME OF INITIATING HIM REMARKED THAT HE HAD BEEN HOLDING SOMETHING FOR HIM IN TRUST FROM THE LORD, WHICH HE HAD DISCHARGED THAT DAY."

"ALL THE SAINTS, SAGES AND PROPHETS OF THE WORLD AFFIRM THAT "THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN US" AND ONE IS NOT TO WANDER OUTSIDE TO ACHIEVE SALVATION. IN THIS TEMPLE OF NINE GATES (OUR BODY) THE LORD DWELLETH. ONE ONLY NEEDS A TEACHER OR GUIDE, WHO KNOWS THE SECRET OF THE PATH TO ENTER THIS PALACE AND WHO CAN LEAD US TO THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD-OUR LOVING FATHER. THIS IS POSSIBLE ONLY IN THE HUMAN LIFE. NO SUB HUMAN SPECIE HAS THIS CAPACITY OR PRIVILEGE. A TEACHER OF THE SCIENCE OF SPIRITUALITY IS AS MUCH NEEDED AS IS A TEACHER OF ANY OTHER SCIENCE OR ART. THIS UNKNOWN PATH IS SO CURVED, COMPLEX AND LABYRINTHINE THAT ONE CANNOT TREAD IT WITHOUT THE HELP OF A GUIDE-AN ENLIGHTENED SOUL. THIS GUIDE MUST BE A LIVING MASTER, WHO CAN TAKE US TO THE HIGHEST REGION, BEYOND DEATH AND DISSOLUTION, WHENCE THERE IS NO COMING BACK. SUCH MASTERS ARE ALWAYS PRESENT IN THE WORLD. THE MASTERS WHO DIED LONG AGO, OR THEIR WRITINGS, CAN BE OF LITTLE HELP TO US."
