Wicca is the modern witchcraft of today an animmanent religion with pagan beliefs in sexuality as just pleasures, with humans and nature living in harmony. In 1954 Gerald Gardner, was a retired British civil servant, and he named this pagan religion "the Wicca". Gardner stated that the (Prime Mover) a being higher than the God and the Goddess was recognised by the witches as this supreme godhead named Dryghten, Patricia Crowther and Scott Cunningham called it also "The One".
The false gods of Wicca are prehistoric gods of the British Isles. This religion of witchcraft denies God's law of good and evil denying "the one and only way". Is a self centered, self service religion, having its own creed contained of pagan pluralism. This religion is now collectively known in North America as British Traditional Wicca.
The followers of Wicca believed in the ramblings of this false religion and called themselves Wiccans. The key belief in Wicca is that the Goddess and the God (or the goddesses and gods) are able to manifest in personal form, most importantly through the bodies of Priestesses and Priests via the rituals of Drawing down the Moon or Drawing down the Sun.
Making reincarnation a traditional Wiccan teaching. Raymond Buckland said that a soul reincarnates into the same species over many lives in order to learn and advance one's soul. A popular saying amongst Wiccans is "once a witch, always a witch", indicating that Wiccans are the reincarnation of earlier witches.
Wiccans who believe in reincarnation believe that prior to this, the soul rests for a while in the Otherworld (not to be confussed with the Nether World) or Summerland, known in Gardner's writings as the "ectasy of the Goddess". Many Wiccans believe in the ability to contact the spirits of the dead who reside in the Otherworld through spirit mediums and ouija boards. This belief was likely influenced by Spiritualism, which was very popular at the time, and which Gardner had had experience with.
Some of the Wiccas Gods and Goddesses are the "Horned God, associated with nature, wilderness, sexuality and hunting is also known as Cernunnos, Pan, Atho and Karnayna. Gundestrup cauldron, the god dated to the 1st century BC, depicting the Celtic pagan god Cernunnos and equated with the Horned God of Wicca. The Goddess usually portrayed and also worsip are, "Tripple Goddess), the Greco-Roman goddess Selene, one of many goddesses equated with the Wiccan Goddess.

The festival of Litha, known as the summer soltice, one of eight seasonal-based festivals.
The Goddess is usually portrayed as a Triple Goddess with aspects of 'Maiden', 'Mother' and Crone, she is also depicted as Moon Goddess. Some Wiccans see the false Goddess as pre-eminent, since she contains and conceives all; this is reflected in the traditional structure of the coven.
The ritual use of magic, and liberal codes of morality are witnessed during their celebrations. Wiccan writers Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone have postulated that Wicca is becoming more polytheistic as it matures, tending to embrace a more traditionally pagan worldview.
Some common Wiccan spells include those used for healing, for love, for fertility, or to banish negative influences. Attempting to bring about real wanted changes, some Wiccans cast spells during ritual practices inside a sacred circles believing that science is the control of the secret forces of nature. Some Wiccans believe magic to be a law of nature.
Classical elements the Wiccans believe in are; Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Aether, or "Spirit", which unites the other four. These five elements are invoked during many magical rituals, notably when consecrating a magic circle. All the five elements are symbolised by the five points of pentagram, one of their trusted symbols.
But we must remember what God says, " And the person who turns after mediums and familiar spirits (“wizards”). Bible: Leviticus 20:6 I will set My face against that person.
They who practice all forms of withchcraft will not rise on the first resurrection of the dead but will rise to be judge in what is called (The Second Death). God condemns, not only the whole practice of the occult, but also the specific methods, rituals, and mumbo-jumbo words used.
Those who will not inherit the kingdom of God include those who practice witchcraftt or sorcery. This includes the occult in general, especially those who use of drugs and potions brewed by witches in their cauldrons.
The cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Read it in the Bible Book of Revelation cp 21 verse 8
But outside [heaven] are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. Revelation 22:15 Leviticus 19:31
