To: st90snk7@dunx1.ocs.drexel.edu (owl) From: moonowl@lepomis.psych.upenn.edu (Sherry Michael) Subject: Class 8 Date: Tue, 14 Mar 1995 20:36:43 -0500 (EST) > **"Wicca 101" class 8 - Self test, teaching coven of the Three Crescents* > **Please send all e-mail to this account: moonowl@lepomis.psych.upenn.edu** > ***** Please do not distribute in full or in part without this header***** > > I. INTRODUCTION > This the last class of the course. Included is a couple last topics, > a self test, a reading list and the _The Mage's Guide to the Internet_ to help > you find more free resourses along your Path. Also, there is a list of > not-so-free resources that include mail order addresses for supplies, magical > items, books, etc. > > II. IS WICCA FOR ME? > The very first class I asked you to make a list with a) the things you > liked and b) the things you felt uncomfortable with concerning Wiccan faith > (if you didn't make the list, shame on you! :) ). Before reading the old list, > make a new one. Now compare the two lists. What has changed? What has remained > the same? > > By looking at the items in the lists, you should get a feel about how well > you and Wicca get along. Don't despair over a few topics you still feel > edgy with however; some concepts take time to develop. Look for > fundamental differences. Can these differences be resolved through flexing > Wicca's framework a bit? It is possible that you need more study and > thinking time to decide. > > If you do not agree with some of Wiccan theology, but like some of the > themes (Gods and Goddesses, nature worship, magic) you may want to check > out other pagan religions. They may better fit some of your ideals. If, > however, you know you and Wicca have fundamental differences that cannot > be worked out- don't dispair. Gaining knowledge is never a wasted quest. > Continue seeking your Path...and be blessed. > > If you have a pretty good idea Wicca is for you, you have to consider > further study, developing your own traditions, etc. Another thing that > will most likley enter your mind is initiation. > > III. INITATION > > Initiation is usually thought of as ritual that announces your entrance into > Wiccanhood. In many aspects, the ritual is also acknowledgement from the > comunity or coven you belong to. Solitaries can self-initiate. It is also an > annoucement to the God/dess that you have entered into Their dedication > and have become Their Priest/ess. > > It is not necessary to have a formal ritual to be considered a Wiccan, but > many desire one. Another answer is that ritual is unnecessary because > "initiation" comes in many stages of self-discovery. Therfore we are > initated over time with experience. > > It is traditional that a student is not initated until after a > year-and-day of study and practice. If you are considering self-initation, > make sure you are ready. Do not just initiate because it it something you > desire, but because it is something you are ready for, something you have > earned. > > If you are interested and impatent for an initation but wonder if > you are ready, consider a dedication ritual. This is a ritual that > announces your willingness to learn and work, but does not announce a > complete initiantion. A dedication, in contrast to initiation is an > announcement of a new student, an initaian is an annoucement of new clergy. > One again, some find only a dedication is necessary to be Wiccan. > Dedication to be a student is a lifetime promise, not one that is left on > the wayside after Initiation, so also consider if you are ready before > taking on a dedication. > > IV. SELF TEST > > Below is a basic test to quiz your knowledge. The answers can be found in > the course lessons and from your own feelings. > > 1) What is the Threefold Law and what does it mean to you? > > 2) Discuss the history of Wicca > > 3) What is the theory of reincarnation? What do you believe? > > 4) How are the Wiccan Deities different from the Judeo-xtain God? > > 5) How is prayer a form of magic? > > 6) Why is meditatin benefical to a Wiccan practice? > > 7) Why are tools nice, but uneccessary part of practice? > > 8) What is the magci circle? What is its function? > > 9) What are the basic four steps to ritual? > > 10) Why are the Sabbats important to observe? > > 11) What is the myth behind the seasons? > > 12) What is magic? What actions can be considered magical? > > 13) What are the ethics of magic? > > 14) Why choose a magical name? > > 15) What is astral projection and how can it be used to benefit a Wiccan > practice? > > 16) What is a Book of Shadows and why is it important? > > 17) Why is writing your own ritaul more effective then using a "textbook" > ritual? > > 18) Why is "living Wicca" important? Name some ways one can do this. > > 19) What is "black" magic? > > 20) Why is it important to earth energy? > > 21) What is a ritual? Is a comnplex one better than a simplistic one? > Why/why not? > > 22) What is an Initaiation and decication? Why is it important to consider > each carefully? > > 23) How can the timing of a magical ritual be benefical? > > 24) What is the general archetype of the Wiccan God? What are some of His > myths and symbols? > > 25) What is the general archetype of the Wiccan Goddess? What are some of > Her myths and symbols? > > V.

In this circumstance, the ss shall take > whatever measures are necessary for the preservation of the sanctity of > the organization. > > > ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE > > The membership shall initially be a consensus-based structure that may > reform itself into any political edifice which it agrees shall best serve > the purposes of the OMNet. By 'concensus-based' we mean that all > members must understand and assent to actions taken by the whole. > > Subsequently, any ambiguity of authority that cannot be resolved by the > membership (as described above) shall be adjucated by the ss, and this > is the only official role which the ss may take in the political structure > of the organization aside from advisor, counsel, and representative. > > Example: > The membership decides to become a monarchy.
