Learning Religion

Wicca is a nature-based religion that has its roots in ancient pagan beliefs. The central focus of Wicca is nature and all its elements, particularly the moon, honoring that the phases of the moon help us stay grounded and in touch with our own cycles of life. The concept of Mother Earth is particularly important for Wiccans, and celebrating sabbats, the eight seasonal festivals, is a way of paying homage to the cycles of nature. At these times, Wiccans align themselves with the core life-giving energy of nature.
