Wicca

Wicca is what would be called a syncretic religion similar to American Voodoo in some senses, but having more focus on western European culture and traditions. As much as Wicca is a modern evolution of older and mostly lost beliefs, this by no means implies that it lacks truth, meaning or spiritual power. If anything, it is able to tap into an extra measure of spiritual vitality for its essence being a “living” faith.

Wiccan faiths are either dualistic and hold both genders as equally sacred, or favour the sacred feminine primarily, though none actually defame the masculine as a matter of doctrine. They do engage in prayer in a contemplative and communion sense, but they do not seek divine intervention as they utilize magickal practices to accomplish this instead. The gift of magick being seen as a divine gift intended for human use to address the issues that others might use intercessory prayer for.
