Wicca is an Old English word literally translating to witch or Witchcraft. It is a form of Paganism and one of the oldest religions in the world. Wicca is the preferred title used instead of 'witch' because of past negative or false connotations.
Wicca is full of metaphors which can co-exist with your current religious or scientific outlook. It is simply a means of understanding the mysteries of life from a viewpoint which embraces both the feminine and masculine energies of the world. This website is designed to give you a complete introduction with history, background, principles and step-by-step how-to guide for Wicca rituals and spells and can serve as your beginning Book of Shadows.

Wicca can transform your life by integrating essential, rural-rooted wisdom into your modern, urban lifestyle.
So don't be afraid... add a little magic in your life!"

As a Taoist, I suggest you might want to read the 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching and then reformulate that answer.

DE-emphasis on world affairs

It's probably #2 for the average citizen. Howvever, if a politician or a high post government official is in practice, he has to pay attention to the world affairs.
There are many similarities:
* very popular in many Asian countries
* meditation and Wu-wei

The distinction, however, is best described in the Zhuan Falun Lecture:
"Daoists cultivate True, Good, Endure with an emphasis on being True. That?s why Daoists strive to, ?cultivate truth and nourish inborn nature, say true words, do true things, be a truthful person, return to your original, true self, and ultimately cultivate into a True Person.? But they also have Endure, and they also have Good, it?s just that the emphasis is on cultivating the True part. Buddhists emphasize the Good of True, Good, Endure, in their cultivation. Cultivation of Good can develop a heart of great compassion, and once this heart of great compassion comes out you can see that all sentient beings are suffering, so you?ll be filled with one wish: to save all sentient beings. But they also have True, and they also have Endure, it?s just that the emphasis is on cultivating Good. Our Falun Dafa discipline, the Law Wheel Great Way, goes by the highest standard of the universe, to be True, Good, and Endure, and we cultivate these all together. So what we cultivate is huge."


Falun Gong is a unique School, combining the Daoist and Buddhist practice. It was found in 1992 by Master Li Hongzhi in China. There are about 100 million followers, and most of them are in China. It's practiced in over 80 countries worldwide. Falun Gong is an ancient practice for the body, mind, and spirit based upon the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Falun Gong consists of five sets of powerful exercises.

Falun Gong, Tibetans, other Buddhists, and Christians have been persecuted in China. The most offensive human right violation is the organ harvesting from the Falun Gong practitioners in China. Can you kindly sign a petition to stop persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, please ?
