We Do Not Believe in...
Since we shared a basic understanding of our Wiccan belief system we feel it's only right to take a moment to talk about that which we do not believe. There are many misconceptions associated with the Wiccan faith - we hope this will help to enlighten you to our ways and the basic foundation of most Pagan religions.
This list is not complete - there are many things we do not believe at Life Temple. These are the items we feel are most often wrongfully associated with our religion and we hope that this list helps to un-muddy the waters.
We do not believe in the supernatural
Meaning, most Wicca believe all things are natural. All things that make up this earth (living & dead) animated or inanimate and the spirits of both this world & the next are all a nature part of existance.
To be beyond or "more than" nature is not something we recognize.
We do not believe in the Devil
Wiccan's do not nor have they ever beleived in or worshiped the Judeo-Christian figure called the Devil. We do however recognize other people's strong beleif in his existance and we are sensative to those who beleive he is a sorce of malice.
We do not believe in Hell
Our afterlife is called the Summerland. It is a place of rest for the spirit as it prepares to travel on to it's next journey.
We do not believe in dogma or karma
We do not believe in an end-of-days, apocolypse or any foretold distruction of earth
We do not believe in a savior or messiah
We do recognize & are sensative to those saviors & messiah's that other people believe in.
We do not believe in sin or guilt
