Wicca simply means wise one, yes our ancient ancestors were very wise
indeed. Wiccan is a European description for wise one. Our African
ancestors were healers, shamans, priest, or priestess, they prepared
herbs, performed rituals, called on spirit guides to aid them in their
affairs. However the European Inquisition threaten the very fabric of
wise one society many were tortured, killed, and force to live in hiding
this continued on from the 13th to the 17th century. During this time
there was negative propaganda being promoted toward African
spirituality, which is the foundation to most of religions or indigenous
ritual practices. The wise one spiritual practices were closely linked
to the ancient mysteries of Egypt. These mysteries of the ancient Egypt
transcended races and cultures you can find echoes of the ancient
mysteries in nearly every culture. People from all over the world came
to the Land of the Blacks to learn the powerful ancient mysteries this
was a threat to the European world which prompt the Inquisition.
The
era of slavery and Jim Crow laws were restrictions that prohibited
Africans Africans from medical treatment. Many Africans of Diaspora use
the knowledge of their ancestors Hoodoo, Voodoo as seen in Haiti and
Louisiana. Once again these Africans were so gifted they attracted
clients that were not African. For example the late Aunt Caroline Dye from the delta attracted prestigious clients from all over.
Wicca
is really no different than Kemet the focus is balance and living in
harmony with nature. Wicca like Kemet there is God and Goddess energy
present in the Universe. Practitioners choose a deity that best resonate
with their energy. Majick is a buy product of Wicca or a w
itch it is a
perception of universal truths, knowledge of nature, and the influence
of this energy has on humans. Lastly do not be confused Wicca is more of
a religion of some witches you do not have to be Wiccan to be a witch.
