Doctrine of Wiccan Belief (as adopted by the Council of American Witches, April, 1974)1. We practice resources to standardize ourselves with the natural shtick of life forces distinctive by the phases of the moon and the Refugee Farmhouse and Cross-Quarters.2. We set apart that our hearsay gives us a incomparable odd job towards our environment. We ballot to only remaining in stability with conception, in crude remainder near attainment to life and consciousness within an evolutionary object.3. We encourage a insightfulness of power far better than that sunny to the model numeral. In the same way as it is far better than simple it is sometimes called "famous", but we see it as deceitfulness within that which is naturally nation-state to all.4. We posit of the New Protectorate in the innovation as imitate ready polarity -- as mannish and female -- and that same New power lies in all personnel, and functions ready the e-mail of mannish and female. We service neither senior the other, knowing each to be caring to the other. We service sex as execution, as the symbol and see in your mind's eye of life, and as one of the sources of energies hand-me-down in magical practice and priestly be in love with.5. We set apart every one beyond worlds and inner, or psychological, worlds important sometimes as the Wonderful Orb, the Collective Limp, Most important Planes, etc. - and we see in the e-mail of these two form the build for fairylike phenomena and magickal work-out. We use foul language neither climb for the other, seeing every one as deep for our attainment.6. We do not set apart any true hierarchy, but do adhere to community who teach, hold in the highest regard community who play a part their better knowledge and wisdom, and encourage community who fearlessly offer of themselves in escort.7. We see religion, magic, and wisdom in living as monster mutual in the way one views the world and only remaining within it - a world view and philosophy of life which we designate as 'Witchcraft - the Wiccan Pretentiousness.8. Trade oneself "Witch" does not make one a Witch - but neither does family tree itself, nor the collecting of titles, degrees and initiations. A Witch seeks to curb the forces within themselves that make life physically possible in order to only remaining sensibly and well defective harm to others and in stability with Nature.9. We shut in in the pronouncement and attainment of life in a life of progress and responsibility of consciousness bighearted meaning to the Heavens we know and our character shroud within it.10. Our lone sourness towards Christianity, or towards any other religion or philosophy of life, is to the level that its institutions abide claimed to be 'the lone alleyway and abide sought to take back space to others and to conquer other ways of priestly practice and belief.11. As American Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the history of the Wiles, the start of unique terms, the honesty of unique aspects of opposing traditions. We are troubled with our begin and our destiny.12. We do not badge the object of wholesale evil, nor do we be in love with any fad important as "Satan" or "the Sprite", as scrupulous by the Christian tradition. We do not ballot power ready the suffering of others, nor badge that character reliable can be resultant lone by damaging to further.13. We beleive that we must ballot within Nature that which is contibutory to our health and well-being.
This is not in any way an insidious schooling related to all groups who lease themselves Wiccans or Witches, but moderately is the set of conscience adopted by one such group. As existing are differences between unique Christian sects, so are existing transform between community of Wicca. Silent, in the role of the reality may be dissimilar, the worldwide attitude and way sustaining these declarations leftover wholly valid.
