After the circle is cast, prayers will often be said to the lord and lady. The symbolic purpose of casting the circle twice is to honor both the God and Goddess of Wicca.
The way Wiccans actually prepare a ritual is first to cast a circle twice about.
Wiccans do not sacrifice people and animals or commune with demons. Sadly, many people’s idea of Wiccan rituals is very far removed from the truth. So if you come across a true Wiccan, you don’t need to worry about them casting an evil spell on you-it goes against their moral code. The second comes at the end and states “An it harm none, do what ye will.” This law bears some similarity to the golden rule. The first law states “Mind the threefold law ye should, three times bad an’ three times good.” This is usually called the law of return or the threefold law and is similar to the idea of karma. The most important lines of the poem make up the main laws of morality in Wicca. While the entire poem is a bit long to reproduce in this article, you can read the full text here. The poem was only published recently, but some Wiccans claim it has been handed down for generations and has ancient origins.
The main laws of Wicca come from a poem called the Wiccan Rede. However, many people may not realize that Wicca still has a very strong moral foundation despite those differences. Even covens vary wildly in how they go about things. While a Wiccan can choose to be part of a coven, they can also practice on their own and decide what’s best for their own spiritual journey. There are many more misconceptions surrounding Wicca, and we hope to clear up some of them below. Symbolically, the broomstick actually represents the union between the God and the Goddess in Wicca and is used in magic to “sweep away” negative energy. Now certainly, some witches do like cats and some have broomsticks for purposes other than just cleaning, but broomsticks have obviously never been used in an attempt to fly.
Most people think of a witch as a warty woman who lives in the woods with her cat, bewitches innocent travelers, and rides her broomstick across the sky at night. A practitioner of Wicca is called a witch, but the idea many people have of witches is a bit off the mark.
