I have some questions about "Wicca" Religion. How to become a Weccan? Should I become
I currently have no religion.
I was thinking of becoming a Wiccan. I feel very interested by their beliefs and their focus towards Nature and Elements.
My question is..Could I be a Wiccan even though I do not practice "Witchcraft"?
I practice Crystal Ball.
How do I become Wiccan?
What are some "Witchcraft" examples.
One converts to Wicca by A) Studying what it's about. B) Agreeing with its tenets, and C) Joining a coven and getting initiated (optional)
If you're not particularly interested in witchcraft, there are probably other pagan paths that are more in tune to your interests. Wicca kinda, sorta, focuses on that kind of thing, so you'll probably have better luck elsewhere.
I am a Christians but know there are herbal cures, my knowledge come from God and my Native American ancestry? God gives you knowledge for good but also he gave you free will??
It's spelled "Wiccan". If you use a crystal ball, it's called scurrying, a form of divination, which is a form of magic. BTW, there is no good reason to think that magic is real. Wicca is a religion, and there are several different traditions. Alexandrian, Gardnerian, Dianic, Seax, Frost, Faerie, etc.

If you're interested in our religion because of our gods, that makes sense. If you just want to collect the title of Wiccan because you don't have a religion, that sucks for everyone.
Try http://wicca.timerift.net it is a start, and maybe will answer some questions for you.
Wicca and witchcraft are not the same thing, one does not require the other. Wicca also has nothing to do with crystal balls.
I think if you're interested in Wicca, you should start by studying for a considerable time more about what Wicca really is. Wicca is about understanding, believing and practicing in its tenets.
If you are interested about learning about Wicca and/or Witchcraft here are a few legitimate sources to glean knowledge from. First being Witchvox athttp://www.witchvox.com/. Here you will gain knowledge through fellowship with other of like mind and knowledge through the countless articles posted. If this is not enough one could look into getting on line training through the Sacred Mists athttp://www.sacredmists.com/, and Witch School at http://www.witchschool.com/, or OZ Wicca at http://www.ozwicca.com/, both are pretty decent for learning the Craft on the Web though like any site they have some issues. Also if you are close enough to an active group that specializes in education and development like the SCWF try and join them even if it?s on a limited capacity.
If DVD?s are to your liking try Witchcraft Rebirth of the Old Religion by Raymond Buckland (DVD), Discovering Witchcraft by Janet and Stewart Farrar (DVD), Ancient Mysteries Witches by A&E (DVD), Craftwise Volume 1: Candle Magick by Peter Paddon (DVD), Craftwise Volume 2: Cord Magick by Peter Paddon (DVD), Wish on a Spell, Vo. 1 by Deborah Gray (DVD), Practical Magick DVD, The Craft (DVD).
If books are what you?re interested in I also suggest that you get your hands on Wicca for Beginners by Thea Sabin and/or The Circle Within by Dianne Sylvan. Both of these books are very good reading and both will give you some deeper insight to the Craft and how it relates to you. Also you cannot go wrong with anything by Scott Cunningham.
Study as much as you need to before deciding that you are Wiccan. Find those near you who are reputable and knowledgeable. Also stay away from those who are playing Wicca if you are serious about the religion and the craft, they will only slow you down and/or mislead you. Also, read all the books you can the good ones as well as the bad ones. Ultimately, study, study and then study some more. Find all you can and definitely cross reference whenever possible, this way you can get the best out of all you learn.
Remember, you are the one that decides who?s a good or bad author not someone else because every author in my belief has something to offer, all you have to do is ignore the information that is not accurate and/or wrong. Oh and when the opportunity raises cross reference the information learned for accuracy.
I hope my blurp helps out.
Blessed Be
