Faery Wicca is also known as Fairy Wicca and it is basically a broad term that consists of all the Wiccan traditions that stresses importance on the Fey (such as sprites, faeries, elves, gnomes, etc), the relation of the Fey with the natural world and also their teachings. This is the kind of tradition that that was founded by Kisma Stepanich, an author. Believers of this tradition are of the opinion that Faery Wicca has picked up the Tuatha De Danaan traditions. The Tuatha De Danaan is considered to be the mythological predecessor of the Celts. On the other hand, there are many people who are not of the same opinion and these are generally those individuals who know about the Celtic mythology and polytheism.

Faery Wicca is a tradition that has taken some elements from the Irish mythology, from different non-Celtic sources and also from the interpretation of the history of the Celts by Kisma Stepanich. This tradition has also been influenced by the author’s imagination of the Celts as well as the Celtic legend and pseudo history. There are some people who often confuse this tradition with Feri Wicca, a tradition started by Victor Anderson. Sometimes, people also spell it as fairy or faery and you have to keep in mind that it is not in any way connected to the Radical Faeries, a gay men’s group.

Crystals and stones have always generated a metaphysical power to protect people from years ago. From amber which was used in the ancient Roman times, to the use of gold for the Egyptians from years past. Stones and crystals were always made into good luck or protection charms until our modern day uses for them. Here is a quick 5 minute Ritual to help protect you. Blessed Be.

Wolf Moon – Cancer (Jan 4^th)

It packed a powerful planetary punch and delivered just the right mix of “driving” energy to give us a kick start to the year ahead.

Snow Moon – Leo ( Feb 3^rd)

Since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month, native tribes of the north and east most often called February’s full Moon the Full Snow Moon. Some tribes also referred to this Moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult.

Worm Moon – Virgo (March 5th)

As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.

There are few celebrations in the year that touch something deeper within us as much as the Winter Solstice celebration.

Picture the scene. It is the dead of Winter in ancient times. Snow is falling on the forest, and nothing grows. The nights get longer and longer, while the temperature drops. Then – a change. Slowly but surely, the sun grows stronger. Ice melts, flowers bloom, the sun shines and life returns.

This is the enchanting effect of the Winter Solstice. Such is the importance of the solstice, it’s hard to find a time when we did not celebrate this change. The currents that flow at this time of year are perfect for Spell Casting, and can be used in a way that is unique.

The Wiccan Rede is a staple of the Faith. The phrase itself is derived from Old English, though these eight words have been associated with the Wiccan path to spirituality as a result of Doreen Valiente’s 1964 speech. In its most common form, the Rede is “An it harm none, do what ye will.” In this context, the word ‘an’ means ‘if’, and ‘ye’ means ‘you’. Many variations of the Rede have since been recorded, including a twenty-six line Long Rede that is well-recognized amongst Wiccans today.

Though it may appear simple enough, the meaning of the Rede transcends any literal interpretation. It should not be taken superficially to imply that Wiccans believe that any action taken by a person is acceptable so long as they do not inflict physical harm upon another person. Instead, the Rede should have a personal meaning to the individual. In their decision-making process, all individuals, not solely Wiccans, should take the action that affects nobody negatively. If the individual is satisfied that their decision is the ‘right’ one, then they should have no guilty conscience about proceeding to do what they have chosen to do.
