Performing a Wicca Ritual isn´t terribly complex but it is important that you understand all aspects behind such a ritual. There are three Magickal acts in most Wiccan Rituals. For detail beyond what I give here, I suggest Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft, chapter 11, and on Magick in general, Crowley's Magick in Theory and Practice is indispensable.

These three acts are Casting the Circle (detailed in Chapter Four, and in Part three of this work, named "A Book of Light",) Forming the Cone of Power and Goal-directed release, and Drawing Down the Moon/Sun. Both Drawing Down and Cone of Power Magicks require your confidence in the Circle you've cast, so practice.

The Cone of Power is raised energy focused on a point above the exact center of the cast circle. The Energy may be raised by chanting, dancing, toneing or any other form of power raising that works for you. Once the cone is begun, the energy is increased and increased until it eventually explodes from the tension point of the top of the circle and is directed, usually by visualization, towards a goal, either something personal, like the healing of a friend or the acquisition of a new job, or something esoteric and spiritual like "gifting" it to the Gods or the Earth. By using visualization, imagination or well-trained "other sight" one can see the power as a field of swirling light which fills the circle and is contained by the Metaphysical boundaries of the Circle and the Will of the Circle's caster(s.)

Drawing Down The Moon and Drawing Down The Sun are trad-related rituals in which the Gods are invoked into a person. Usually this involves an elaborate ritual, with the reading of one of the versions of the Charge of the Goddess, and similar male charges are read for the solar versions, and the "gods and goddesses" that speak within the ceremony are from books, but I have seen the occasional Ecstatic Wiccan group where the person who has the Gods "drawn into" them actually seems to "channel" another being who speaks to the coven, and once, on a Beltane night, Lady Martia, a very respectable and not easily excitable Wiccan Priestess of some forty years, began to recite the Charge and was seen to change drastically before about thirty people, and cease reading it. A surprised look on her face, this priestess told us how pleased she was that we kept our rites that evening, and told a coven member who was infertile that he and his wife would have a child by Imbolc, whereupon the priestess fainted, and didn't come 'round for several minutes.

I suppose if I were reading that, I couldn't believe it, but I was there, and I believe that we met a Priestess of old that night, (no one thinks it was a Goddess, although I've heard stories of Goddesses and astral beings jumping in to ceremonies and interrupting them to give important news, warnings and the like,) and she approved, so we must be doing something right! (Their child, a boy, was conceived that night or thereabouts and born January 20th, 1995) Magick, like any science, requires ethics, and practice without ethics or in the form of Magick for Magick's sake may result in any number of problems. As with any science, use caution in your experimentation and start small. Wicca rituals can be very powerful, so use them wisely.

Wicca Gods and Wicca Goddesses are an important aspect of your practice in Wicca. Below you will find an expansive list of various deities, gods, and goddesses.

A few years ago, a friend and I began compilation of a database of Gods and Goddesses, knowing that such a thing would be a life’s work. It grows to this day, with many of the entries consisting of only a name and a culture. The following list is comprised of some of the more complete entries. It is, by far, a partial list, with many of the Gods left out either by lack of knowledge, lack of space or lack of a clear head. I’ve not included some Gods who are very rare to Wicca, like Eris and Loki (I have enough Eris and Loki in my life, anyway) but some “evil” gods, like Angra Manyu, who are never used in Wicca, are included as comparisons or because they make up a central part of a pantheon. I’ve stayed away from recent Gods and Goddesses, like those from the genres of fantasy and science fiction, so if you find a “character” within, it was the author of the Sci-fi, and not I, who pinched a name. Wicca and Gods have both always intrigued me, so I hope you will enjoy what we have laboriously put together.

Also, I’ve avoided “new” definitions of Gods, the ones that have popped up in many books written by people with no knowledge beyond a few college courses in Mythology. Good works on Mythology are detectable in two ways, use of materials relating to the culture from which the myth came, and use of the phrase, “but we can’t be sure of this.” Anyone who tells you that they “know” the truth about the worship these gods had better shush, or show you their time machine.

The mythology of these Gods and Goddesses is yours to discover, I’ve only included a brief description, complete with the sacred color, if any, of the God, and the Totemic spirit from which many of them evolved. Totemism is neither new nor exclusively Native American, in pre-Grecian days, for instance, the eagle was a sacred bird, as Greece grew, Eagle became known as Zeus, as the people progressed further, Zeus took on human qualities, the result, in later Grecian religion, was Zeus, a God, whose “favorite” bird was an eagle and whose symbol was the eagle. Similar events led to the creation/discovery of most gods in modern and early religion. It is because of the Wiccan reawakening to animal spirituality that I’ve included these spirits, in the hope that those seeking may find the name of their face of God(dess) within.

I feel I must add that when I refer within this mini-Deiology to “modern” gods, I am speaking of modern in the anthropological sense, generally post-roman empire “modern” not in the past few years. Also, in the case of culture, Gaullic is of Gaul (ancient France and much of the Alps), Gaelic is of ancient Ireland but not Celtic, Celtic is of Ancient Scotland, Ireland, some parts of Wales and some parts of Europe, Welsh is Welsh but not Celtic, Greek is pre-Roman Empire Greece, Roman is of the Roman empire. Likewise, Etrusican and Italian are not Roman, even though much of Roman mythology was shared by them, and Persian and Summerian, which are sub-groups of Babylonian, are those things that my reserach showed to be exclusive to Persia and Summeria. Norse is Northern Germanic, primarily Danish and Scandinavian, but German is of Germany, specifically. I am a priestess, not an Anthropologist, so while my research has been extensive, I am sure I have faults herein.

This is one of many free Wiccan protection spells that can be used to a great effect for protecting your home or domicile from evil energies and black magic forces. If you don’t have an altar then you might consider acquiring one if you are going to be performing rituals in your home. For this spell you will need the following tools before you get started.

One white candle, one stick of sandalwood incense and a chalice of white wine or spring water. If you don’t have an altar then go to the exact center of the largest room in your home and cast a circle on the floor, place the candle in the center of the circle and light it. Next pick up the stick of incense and touch it to the candle flame to ignite it. While waving the incense stick over the candle recite the following incantation.

"Come ye Cerredwin keeper of the powers of inspiration and positive transformation. I humbly request your divine presence as I am in need of your assistance.

Give your blessings of protection to my home so that all who enter and dwell here will be safe from harm and good tidings shall fill the air.

Share my wine and share my home with me if only for a moment, for that is all I ask of ye Lady Cerridwen and let your will be done. So mote it be."

Sip the wine and let the smoke from the incense fill the air as you Imagine Cerridwen’s awesome powers of protection swirling about and combining with the fragrant smoke that fills the air. At this point you should rise and then reach down and pick up the candle so you are holding the candle and the incense in separate hands. Now walk through your home slowly visiting each room and allowing the incense smoke to spill into the air as you enter in to chant (let peace and tranquility fill this room). When you have completed passing the blessing to each and every room in your home, return to your altar to once again thank Cerridwin and then blow out the candle. You can leave the incense burning as you focus on the smoke drifting up to fill the room while picturing in your mind positive energy coming down to your home from the cosmos.

Wiccan Protection Spell to Protect an Inanimate Object

So many of the free Wiccan protection spells that are available deal with protection in general terms as it is general protection of ones home and physical being that most often has the highest priority. This spell however; is one of the free Wiccan protection spells that was written to invoke divine protection on ones personal property for those who feel who feel they need that extra level of security and wish to protect their tangible posessions. One common reason for property protection is to prevent others eyes that fall on your possessions from becoming green with jealousy. Others might covet what you possess and with this spell you can prevent others from depriving you ownership of what belongs rightfully to you. On the surface it appears to be a simple spell as it requires no tools and is quickly performed. Be forewarned however; that it is not as simple as it may seem as it requires intense concentration to conjure up the energy required for this most powerful of the free Wiccan protection spells.

Using your middle finger on your right hand, draw a pentagram over the object to be protected. As you are doing such, picture high voltage electricity emanating down your right arm, shooting out the tip of your middle finger and exploding in blood red sparks. As you are tracing the pentagram concentrate intently and recite the following incantation.

"By laying this pentagram I do cast protection on this cherished possession.
Let ye who may touch it in bad faith be burnt by that touch and recoil in pain.
Let the law of three prevail and with it all good be done. So mote it be."

The term (Pagan) is often heard being used to describe a person, their beliefs or one or more particular religions depending on who is using it and the context in which it is being used. Many people even think that the term (Pagan) has some connection to Satanism or Satanic worship.

In fact the actual word itself has been traced back to its origins and many people find it surprising to learn that it is derived from the Latin word (Paganus) which in translation means (one who lives in the country). Its connection to polytheistic religious beliefs is unclear in its origins but it has been traced to Europe’s stifling religious atmosphere of the late Middle Ages. It is commonly used by bible thumpers to smear anyone who doesn’t follow in line with their rigid, straight jacket view of the earth and the universe it is a part of but one thing is for sure is that by definition it does not describe a Wiccan or Wicca exclusively.

The word stuck with Wiccans for a few reasons that are actually very sound hence it is now pretty much universally understood that a pagan and a Wiccan are one in the same. The first good reason the word got grabbed up by Wiccans is that the first ones to use it were the Romans who used it to describe traditional rural peasants who were left out of Rome’s conversion to Christianity. It was city dwellers in Rome who endured the brunt of Rome’s religious and political conversion and just as it is today joining the popular religion of the day was and still is a prudent choice many people make.

The next good reason that the term has been widely accepted by Wiccans is that for the last five hundred years or so the word (Pagan) has been tossed around in a multitude of terms by Christians to describe anyone who is not one of them and by definition Wiccans are not Christian and have no desire to be associated with the business of Christianity. Thirdly it’s a good sounding word that has a nice catchy ring to it and anyone who appreciates the sound of words will attest to this.

So just like so many other words and phrases that are in common use it took a roundabout journey to arrive here and people just use it and accept it. If a Wiccan chooses to refer to themselves as a pagan they are doing what is commonly accepted and if someone wishes to debate its origins or definition they can do so if they wish but first they will have to find someone who is willing to take the time to argue with them.
