    We know that early mythical beliefs were widely distributed. So was the objectives of those beliefs. For example vikings believed in ragnarok while the egyptians believed in afterlife, the celts believed in nature as a supreme force. Also they associated various gods and godesses for natural symbols. In egypt the sun god is ra/horus, for greeks it was helios, for germanic tribes it was sol.

    Since current wicca is founded in the 50s, how is it encompassing such a wide range of mythical beliefs spanning from europe to northern africa in itself. I'd like to know the supreme spiritual goal of wicca . . .coz the ancient religions had different objectives.

    I was a huge fan of Harry Potter. I have read all the HP books cover to cover. Also I watched every episode of Charmed. I have a poster of the charmed ones in my bed room. There was a time I wished that I was in an episode of Charmed.
    It explains your fluffy bunny origin... :rolleyes:

    This is a very good question.:yes: Thank you very much for asking this!

    Wiccans honour the divine forces of nature. This is also found in ancient religions, because Wicca takes a lot of its beliefs from ancient religions.

    There are some beliefs in these ancient religions common to all the pantheons.

    There are this same set of beliefs and gods on different cultures with different names. For an example Goddess Diana in Italy is called Artemis in Greece. They have same significance and story behind them.

    Gardenerian Wicca is the original form of Wicca where they worship the Goddess and God in names of ancient England (Celts). But they also acknowledge that the Goddess is also known by many other names in many other cultures.

    There are Alexandrian Wiccans who worship the God and Goddess in names of ancient Egypt. There are Seax (Saxan) Wiccans who worship the God and Goddess in names of ancient Saxons (and Vikings). I could tell more if you would like... :D

    The Five Points of Wiccan Belief
    as laid out by Universal Eclectic Wicca
    This specific form, the “Five Point of Wiccan Belief”, is particular to UEW. However, the points contained within are issues held in belief by nearly anyone calling themself Wiccan, even if they phrase them differently.
    1. The Wiccan Rede - An it harm none, do as ye will
    2. The Law of Return - Also known as the Threefold Law
    3. The Ethic of Self-Responsibility - We, and only we, are responsible for our own actions.
    4. The Ethic of Constant Improvement - The desire to improve the world around us, guided in part by the Law of Return.
    5. The Ethic of Attunement - Divinity is within us and around us, and becoming in-tune with this power is a major facet of Wicca.

    Visualization is one of the basic and most important skill in Magick and Witchcraft. When you Visualize something with perect concentration your mind and energy shapes accoring to your minds picture. Mind and its energy is what we basically use. The universe also shapes according to it.

    I attended a workshop on healing this weekend. We actually practiced on something very simillar to what you have said. We Visualized and Energized a fire, and actually it gave off heat, But not sufficient to burn a twig. But we were warned to extinguish it before leaving the place because if we leave the place without extinguishing the fire we energized in visualization later it would manifest actually and do harm...

    If the power of a group of people joined together it will be possible to manifest a real pyre on thy twig... :)
