Watercolour Art - My Creation, named "God and Goddess cycle" from the Old religion Wicca

 
 
Watercolour Art - My Creation, named "God and Goddess cycle" from the Old religion Wicca, or " The art " especially for the festival of Beltane Goddess and the God Cernunnos.
But what is Wicca?
Wicca is an earth and nature-honoring religion that celebrates the cycle of the year and the duality of divinity. Wiccans celebrate eight holid...ays; two solstices, two equinoxes and four other holidays roughly equally spaced throughout the year. These holidays are called sabbats.
Wicca, called 'witchcraft' by some, was popularized (or perhaps invented) in the middle part of the twentieth century by Gerald Gardner. He wrote a book called Witchcraft Today that was published in 1954. In the book, he claimed to have discovered a survival of ancient pagan religions still being practiced today. Most practicing pagans today discount his claim to a survival, and celebrate rather a revival (or at least a best-guess reconstruction) of a pre-Christian religion.

  2. Olá muito obrigado por sua visita, na verdade estes são Deuses Wiccanos, Deusa Beltane e Deus Cernunnos.
    Em homenagem ao Festival de Beltane que é a comemoração da fertilidade, simbolizando a união entre as energias masculina e feminina, a fertilidade da Terra e as chamas do Deus Celta, e toda sua energia e luz. Faz parte da religião Wiccana. :-)

  3. I have been interested in studying Wicca for years. Though I have not been about to find a good place or someone to talk to about getting more information. If someone could get back to me I have so many questions. That would be great Thanks!
