What is Wicca? Wicca is an ancient form of ritual prayer to Spirits and
Lords that predates the Christian faith by many thousands of years. It
is not Satanism nor is it Devil worship, though it has long been
accused
of being such by the ignorant and feeble minded of the Christian
doctrine. The most common name for it in America, is Witchcraft, but we
prefer not
to use this Christian slang for an old and honorable faith.
The Wiccan Religion practiced today, is actually the combination of
many different old religions that over the centuries have been combined
into
one basic faith. But as with Christianity, there are several
denominations
having slightly differing beliefs. In this space, in future issues, we
intend to carry articles about different Wiccan denominations and their
practices, and ideas. We invite any participants of their religion to
submit
articles for approval. We also hope to have in the near future, a free
directory
of Wiccan Churches and coveens so that those writing to us will be able
to
get the names and addresses of groups near to them.
Though our beliefs are slightly different, it is our hope through this
section, to build harmony between our two faiths.
Extra terrestrials and extra terrestrial contact is a major part of The
Spiritist religion. Therefore this UFO column will be part of every
issue. Our readers are invited to send articles on their experiences,
and when space
is available, we will print them. We will not be able, however, to pay
for
articles. However, any person contributing an article will get a free
copy
of the magazine it appears in, if they are not already a subscriber.
Our article in this issue, is from Walter Rhodes Jr., XXXXXXXXX Avon
Park, FL XXXXX. (Replies welcome.)
In the spring of 1975, I was moving from the state of Maryland to
Florida. At the time, I was married. All of our belongings were packed
in the trailer we were pulling. My wife was driving and I was asleep in
the back seat,
as we were passing through the lower part of North Carolina, not far
from
the South Carolina border, just a ways in from the coast. We were
travelling the back roads. It was about three a.m., pitch black, no
street lights
or houses, just a long stretch of two lane road.
My wife woke me up screaming for me to look out the window. As I did
so, I saw on the road behind us, a large, round light, which appeared
to be
following us. I told my wife to stop the car. She did not want to, but
I assured her that whatever it was, if it intended to harm us it would
do
so rather we stopped or not.
She finally pulled over and I jumped from the car. The light had come
up to us just behind us, off the road, hovering about the treetops some
50-75 feet away. I could have easily hurled a stone and hit it. It was
a huge, round luminous globe, emitting an orange light, and no sound,
whatsoever. There appeared to be two lights near the bottom which
blinked.
My hair was almost stnding on end, I could feel energy running up and
down my body. The engine of the car kept running and I told my wife not
to turn it off because I wanted to see if it would cut out. I felt
there was intelligence in the globe or craft. After a while my wife
became so frightened I feared she might faint, so we left. The object
lifted away and disappeared into the night.
There is a possibility we may have lost a couple of hour's time, but
neither my wife nor I could be positive, though it seemed like this was
a possibility at the time.
