If you ask ten witches what Wicca<\/a> is, you’re likely to get ten different answers. Nowhere is this more true than in eclectic Wicca. All branches of the Craft are highly individualized, but the eclectic path is the most personal and individualized of all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many practitioners are solitary, happily creating their own magic and spiritual path as they go with little input from others. They can dedicate themselves to their practice, learn without the benefit of a degree system, and become just as effective as any other witch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Eclectic Wicca?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eclectic Wicca is a form of Wicca that comprises parts taken from multiple cultures or disciplines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some circles or covens follow an eclectic path, but this is most appealing to solitary practitioners, since it gives them the freedom to choose the elements of the Craft that feel most significant to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One eclectic Wiccan may choose to venerate Gaia as the Goddess, and Cernunnos as the Horned God. They may burn Japanese-style incense, use a tuning fork to cleanse energy, and add binaural beat music to their practice to produce an altered state of consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another eclectic Wiccan may venerate a combination of the Egyptian and Greek pantheons, use singing bowls, and burn plants native to their area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet another may choose to pursue elemental fire magic, and venerate fire deities. The possibilities are endless and ever-changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
