It is said that Wicca is an orthopraxy, not an orthodoxy. There is a wide range of beliefs among Wiccans. The following articles will show the diversity of opinions and views held by Gardnerian initiates. Most of us are strong-willed people with firm opinions about what we do. We do not necessarily see things the same way. If you are an initiate and disagree with an article then by all means write your own and we will put it up. After proper vouch and verification.
