Wicca / Neopaganism
Taxonomy Axes
Cosmogony & Origin
The universe is sacred and alive, permeated by divine energy manifesting as the God and Goddess (or multiple deities). No single creation narrative — emphasis on the eternal cycle of birth, growth, death, and rebirth reflected in nature. The Wheel of the Year ritualizes this cycle through eight sabbats.
Values & Ethics
The Wiccan Rede: 'An it harm none, do what ye will.' The Threefold Law: what you send out returns threefold. Emphasis on personal responsibility and connection to nature.
Purpose & Salvation
To live in harmony with nature, develop spiritual abilities, honor the divine in its many forms, and participate consciously in the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Personal spiritual growth and empowerment through ritual and magic.
Suffering & Happiness
Suffering is part of the natural cycle — winter follows summer, death follows life. The Threefold Law means harmful actions return amplified. No devil or external evil force. Imbalance and disconnection from nature contribute to suffering.
Eschatology
No end times or apocalypse. Life, death, and rebirth cycle eternally. The Summerland is a resting place between incarnations. The Wheel of the Year turns endlessly. Some traditions include reincarnation until spiritual lessons are complete.
