Regardless of what items or tools Wiccans use, the goal of
these
rituals is to push forward the powerful energies that create what we
call reality. The people who are more spiritually and psychically
advanced can quickly achieve the altered state of consciousness that is
necessary to control the creative energies.
Other practitioners will benefit from the use of soothing oils,
perfumes, incense, etc. along with incantations and other physical
stimulations such as waving a wand or walking along a circle or dancing
to music.
The Moon, Sun as well as other celestial beings are very important in
these rituals. Magick is believed to be more effective for certain
phases of the moon and on particular days that fit the requirements of
the results of the Spell.
Directions such as East, North, West and South as well as the five
energies of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit are also important to
the Wicca practitioners. Also, symbols such as the pentagram, Goddess
and God symbols along with other ancient sacred symbols called the
Runes are used in Spells and Rituals.
Overall, the theme of this religion is that each and every human being
has direct access to the Power that created this planet as well as this
Universe. We are all born with this knowledge and have the ability to
communicate with the Creator without the need for middle men or
monolithic establishments.
