Wiccan Items I bought and are Making Soon.

This post is about my supply items that I've already bought and are in process of still making at home. I'm new to Wicca and continuing my journey as I keep reading and try to even practice the excerises in 2 books mentioned on a supply list for a beginner getting into Wicca. 1 of these supply items I have is a silver pentacle from Banyen Books, a Mini Spiral Goddess statue I bought from a metaphysical store called Awakenings & Gifts. The store and the owners used to be in White Rock and closed down its location at White Rock beach. The newest 3rd item supply I bought is a couple of pendulums I bought from Whitby's Metaphysical shop. 1 pendulum I bought is an amethyst drop, another pendulum is a quartz crystal moonstone pentacle and the last pendlum is a light amethyst merkaba. The 4th supply item is a small black cauldron from Dragonspace I went to in Graville Island, Vancouver. My homemade item I'm hoping to make is a wand out of driftwood I found in White Rock beach. The mini goddess statue I have at home is made by Abby Willowroot. I went on the site and saw that the online store has other goddess and god statues I may like to think about buying online or also get from Sacred Source online store.

New belief discovery and Wiccan name in process!

On April 3rd of last year, I went online and searched for "What is my Wiccan name?" online and I saw a link from Select Smart displaying 24 questions on what Wicca tradition I would fit into and practice on so I ended up answering most of the questions and my result happened to be Lycian Wiccan which I never heard about at all since I'm still new to Wicca and its beliefs I also would like to practice as a Solitary Wiccan because I'm a bit uncomfortable being around lots of people and I don't talk much in groups which makes me being a quiet and shy person. I wanted to find out what my Wiccan name was since many of them are still in process on what I'd like to have and I have a lot of thoughts about what I'd like my Wicca name to be so this will take lots of research on what it may be fit for myself to have. I do love wolves because I grew up loving these animals when I was a child and a baby but I also still love other animals as well like the eagle, cat, and other animals. My discovery on Wicca will also take lots of time for me to get into since I am reading different books on Wicca/Witchcraft and the book that has questions for answering is Raymond Buckland's Complete book of Witchcraft (Wicca not mentioned beside Witchcraft). This book was different when I was reading it and I didn't know that The Complete Book of Witchcraft by Raymond Buckland is based on Saxon Witchcraft besides being a beginner book so, I decided to read a different Wiccan beginner book called Wicca for Beginners by Thea Sabin and I also read The Complete Idiots Guide to Wicca & Witchcraft by both Denise Zimmermann and Katherine A. Gleason. I enjoyed reading these 2 books and will have a lot of thinking, reading, studying, practicing and also learning on Wicca.

A discovery into my favorite belief!


Well here's something I didn't know at first hand about Wicca! A Yahoo user I read about Wicca says that this belief is an occult and for my honest reason on what was said is that Wicca is not an occult! Wicca is a Neo-Paganism religion but, how can I explain this religious belief in my own words since I'm learning and discovering about Wicca for myself. Wicca to me is about believing in nature, the god/goddess divine and everything good. When I go online and read what other people say about Wicca, it is a new religious belief to me that I would have to understand more about on my own and also know what I'd like to learn and experience about Wicca. This religious belief does date back before I was born so, I will honestly read a lot more books on Wicca and try to be a bit more explainable about this belief myself. What I do know on Wicca is that it is not believing in the Devil at all. It is a positive nature belief that Christians them self may not wish to know on Wicca, this is more about being positive than being negative. To believe and be a Wiccan for me, there is a lot of studying, exploring and researching to learn and know what Wicca honestly means to me. I read already 2 books called "Wicca for Beginners: Fundamentals of Philosophy & Practice" by Thea Sabin and "How to Become a Witch: The Path of Nature, Spirit & Magick" by both Amber K. & Azreal Arynn K. I have also downloaded an audiobook called "The Beginners Guide to Wicca" by Starhawk. I've also found other Wiccan  books online to read on my favorite belief Wicca and find out what this belief will be like to me. I am a beginner in Wicca and I am understanding what Wicca still means to me. I did have a page created by myself on Wicca and my explanation about it as well but, I lost that page and the info I wrote on my favorite religious belief. Wiccan's practice magic, they celebrate the Wiccan holidays known as Esabats and Sabbats, they honor the moon phases, perform rituals and Pagan/Wiccan related traditions! I am a beginner at learning Wicca and finding out more about it. I have more other Wiccan books that I've downloaded written by different authors and I will start as I did say before on reading them including Gerald Gardner himself who is more explainable on believing the Wiccan belief than I try to explain on it myself! I have at a serious point on putting the word Wicca in this post too many times and it probably looks a bit annoying on here but I might wrong about this blog post myself! Here's an image below on Wicca!
