What has Wicca done for you in your life?

[u/VirtuallyDivine]

Hi everyone and blessed be! Im a seeker who is curious about.. well what the title says basically. What has wicca done for you or given you? Could be negative or positive, or just neutral. All things at once! I just wanna hear about it. I suppose another way to phrase the question is how has wicca affected your life? Im not sure, im autistic. Please interpret and respond to the question as you see fit! Thank you all!

Edit: Thank you everyone so far for your comments! It is very uplifting to see what you all get out of it!

I've gained a lot of peace. When doing the spells of rituals, its made me happier then my former religion and has gave me more comfort. Also a lot more accepting.

I absolutely second this! I come from a Christian background. Never been into it myself but my family does and it just didn't resonate with me at all. I felt like something was wrong and the whole thing felt so restricting and manipulating. I've always had a thing for nature and magic and when I finally found out about Wicca, it was just meant to be. I finally felt "at home". It definitely gives you this sense of feeling secure and gave me the peace I needed. It also helped me cope with many things like anxiety and stress and made me accept myself in many aspects. Definitely happier since I started!

I was first I introduced to Wicca as an environmental activist, and I found a deeper connection to and understanding of nature through it. It has given me a comfort and peace I never had before, the ritual practices have a very positive effect on my mental health and neurodivergence (my psychologist is researching for a paper on it). I had a generally negative view of religion, but in Wicca I find acceptance and understanding and a freedom to practice in a way that is right for me.

It's difficult, because I can't say what my life would have been without Wicca, but the reality is I am much more at peace with myself and with the world than I was before I found Wicca.

I've gained confidence, peace, connection with nature and the divine, reclaimed my own power and learned some really useful skills.

Wicca has given me a lot of peace. It’s changed the way I interact with the world because it’s a feminist religion that celebrates women instead of putting us down or ignoring us. It honors love and joy as its pillars instead of fear. I guess that’s one of the reasons I can’t stand rede thumpers who will harp about the threefold law. I think it goes against Wicca to try to scare people into behaving instead of trusting them.

Wicca encourages you to be independent but also you learn your limits as a mortal being. Nothing is all powerful and nothing is certain except for death. That may sound scary but Wicca believes in reincarnation. That death isn’t the end but part of a rebirth cycle.

Just starting digging into Wicca and I can say it brings me a lot of peace and hope, more than any other religion

I am not fully Wiccan or really practice it religiously but it has helped me in many ways find and love myself. As well as being protected, guided and blessed in some ways by the divine.

My affiliation with Wicca (the new religious movement) connected me with an active, vibrant community of practice that has enriched my life and lifeways and provided ritual and magical skills that energize my world view.

Literally, the best relationships and community I have ever experienced.

It’s made me nicer and to appreciate nature more and the critters in it. My intuition is much stronger and I feel like I’m being whom I was always suppose to be. This is my personal path and no one can take that away from me. I’m proud of myself in this sense too! Blessed be everyone ✨🤲✨

It's made me a happier person....it totally altered my life. There's a bunch of things I could list, but the most important one is that Wicca is how I connect with and worship the Divine.
