The WICCA FAITH & I.

The WICCA FAITH & I.

The Religion/Faith of Witches.

The WICCA FAITH is a Neopagan (non-Christian) Polytheistic Religion (believing in several Gods) created in the 1950s by British Anthropologist, Philosopher & Witch Gerald Gardner. It is believed that its creation was linked to his great friend, also British, the Hermetic Occult Wizard and founder of the Hermetic Order Golden Dawn and the philosophy of Thelema, Aleister Crowley. However, there are no reliable references to confirm this theory. WICCA is a Faith/Religion branched off from the Faith/Religion of Druidism, the oldest Faith/Religion in the world - the Religion of the oldest people in the world, the Celtic people. It was recognized as a Religion in the 1980s. Therefore, it is considered the Religion of Witches. Therefore, ALL Wiccans are Witches, but not all Witches are Wiccans. And the Wiccan Faith is just a planet in the Witchcraft Galaxy within the Magic Universe. ✨


Wiccan & Non-Wiccan Witchcraft.

Like every Faith/Religion, WICCA has a Doctrine & Philosophy, and its temples, the so-called COVENS, which are normally composed of 12 participants plus the 13th, who is the Priest or Priestess of the Coven. Like every temple, it has its rules. But the Witch is not obliged to join a Coven, and can follow his path in a ‘Solitary’ way, which we call a Solitary Witch. In my opinion, the Witches considered Non-Wiccans preferred not to follow a religion, perhaps because of the impression that it can indoctrinate and fill life with rules. Because in terms of Principle, Law & Rituals, many Non-Wiccan Witches follow the same philosophy as the Wiccan Faith. Many Non-Wiccan Witches call themselves Natural Witches who follow the philosophy of Natural Witchcraft, but are there Artificial Witches & Artificial Witchcraft? Witchcraft is Natural and all Witches are Natural Witches.


Threefold Law, Philosophy and Principles of the Wiccan Faith.

The Wiccan Faith is free. Its philosophy is Witchcraft. Its doctrine is its Law and Principle. Its Law is the Threefold Law: ‘Everything goes and returns 3 times, whether good or bad’. Its Principle: ‘Without harming anything or anyone, do what you will.’ - and this Principle should be followed by all Witches, because that is what Witchcraft is - good through the MAGIC of the powers of Our Great Mother Nature Gaia. Those who do evil are not Witches - much less do they know what Witchcraft is. And MAGIC is something good, it is for the good. If it is used for the opposite purpose, it is NOT MAGIC. Therefore, I do not believe in black magic. In addition to being an offensive word to the Black Community, as it gives the impression that Black is something bad - when it is exactly the opposite. We are Human Beings. As Scott Cunningham, a great North American writer and Wiccan Witch, said: ‘MAGIC is the Blossoming of the Essential Nature of Living Beings (ALL of Them)’. 🦇


My Journey in the Wicca Faith.

My name is Thali Sampaio, I am a Veterinary Doctor, Microbiologist, Chiropterologist, Alchemist, Herbologist and Natural Therapist. I am a Gypsy Wiccan Hekatine Cernnunian WITCH, because I honor the Triple Goddess Hekate (Moon Goddess - Greco-Roman Pantheon) and the Horned God Cernnunos (Sun God - Celtic Pantheon).

I was born a WITCH. I come from a family of Witches. My maternal great-grandmother is a Christian Healer WITCH; my maternal grandmother is a Shamanic Umbanda Spiritist Christian WITCH; my mother is a Gypsy Christian WITCH; and my father is a Kardecist Umbanda Spiritist Christian WITCH - all Christians. So yes, there are Christian Witches. There is WITCHCRAFT in CHRISTIANITY. Why not?

My Own Eclectic Path:

But I found myself in the WICCA FAITH (I don't like to call it a religion) during my adolescence, where I identified with its doctrine and philosophy, through the 'Wicca Almanac' that I received every year from my Father. As my professional training says, I have always had a connection with Our Great Mother Nature Gaia and her alchemies. And then, in 2018, I delved into the studies of the FAITH in a self-taught way and thus became a WICCA, internalizing its doctrine and Polytheistic Pagan philosophy. I created my own path, eclectic, without prejudice, arrogance and financial ends. I founded the Wicca Wisdom Family Group, where I share my learning, knowledge and thus, the wisdom that I acquired throughout my journey in the FAITH - and that I am still ALWAYS searching for.


My Personal Beliefs and Values:

I have found a path that resonates with My Personal and Professional Beliefs and Values, being able to honor My Family Roots and the diversity of traditions. The Wiccan Faith values ​​harmony with our great Mother Nature Gaia and the practice of a Spirituality that seeks good, respecting individual freedom and personal beliefs. The diversity of beliefs within the Universe of Witchcraft and Spirituality is rich and complex. The Wiccan Faith offers space for those who seek connection with our great Mother Nature Gaia and the Gods, while others may prefer to approach their practices in a more solitary and/or eclectic way. This eclectic approach, without prejudice and with a commitment to continuous learning, is a reflection of the essence of Wiccan Spirituality. In addition, it is very interesting to note the importance of the figure of the Goddess and God in its practice.

I can say that, with My Life Story, the Wiccan Faith saved my life. It gave me the freedom to follow my own spiritual path, and hope that, just have FAITH (whatever it may be) and believe in your principles, that MAGIC will materialize in the BEING that you are - in Your Essential. My Gods and Protectors ALWAYS... 🧙‍♀️
