The Wiccan Interfaith Council International, known to all as a Church
and a pantheist religious fellowship, is a global community of Wiccan,
Pagan, Witch, and Heathen clergy and practitioners. Our global organization
strives to promote greater understanding and appreciation of Wicca, through
interfaith and intrafaith charitable projects and committees, religious
services and support, educational forums, and social activism.
Now we come to celebrate our religion, known as “the Craft of the Wise”
and “the Olde Religion”. We do declare that our faith is built upon
the worship of the Gods who originated with the birth of Mother Earth.
Our practice is in accordance with the five laws of Nature, known as Air,
Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit. We understand that all power and knowledge,
prosperity and wisdom, flow from this Divine source.
And finally, we acknowledge that we are the only ones to give acceptance
and validity to the ancient ways of our faith, as this Wiccan Church may express, to our own
fellowship of members.
