Nature
Nature is all important. But nature is not simply plants and trees, it is everything; the ocean, the sky, the stars, the sun and moon. We are nature and everything is natural, for we would not exist if it were not for nature. It is the air we breathe, the ground we walk upon, the food we eat, the stars at night. Wicca is a nature based religion and so we live our lives in accordance with nature. Our holidays fall on the seasons, the solstices and the equinox. To be Wiccan is to love nature, and as balance is crucial to nature, so it is to Wicca. We strive to find a balance in our lives. We embrace our dark side as well as our light, for it is just as much a part of us as light is, and to not do this would be dangerous, as it would isolate our darkness. But of course, we do not give darkness precedence, for this is dangerous to. Instead, we hold both together, balanced. We embrace our own femininity and masculinity, whatever our gender. We have a God and a Goddess and we strive to live our lives in harmony with nature.
Wiccans have four seasonal holidays:
Samhain - Winter
Imbolc - Spring
Beltane
