Step 1
Be aware that many aspects of Gardnerian wicca are kept private, making some of the finer details of practice difficult to learn unless you formally join a coven.
-
Step 2
Recognize and respect that all Gods and Goddesses ever worshiped really do exist; however, the God and Goddess that guide spiritual practice in wicca are The Great Mother, or Diana, and The Horned God, or Pan. While the names Diana and Pan are used in public, their true names are kept in secrecy and used only amongst coven members of Gardnerian wicca.
-
Step 3
Be faithful to the Gods and hold the traditional Sabbats as taught by your coven in order to ensure that you return in the next life amongst those you know and love. Those who break their faith or do not follow the Sabbats are thought to return in the next life amongst a world of strangers.
-
Step 4
Meditate on the aspects of your birth-given situation, including your parents, location, experiences and more. Gardenian wicca believes that each individual chooses their parents before they are born in order to learn specific lessons.
-
Step 5
Practice free will; however, keep in mind that while you have the option to choose how you act and react, the law of karma is in play. Whatever you send out into the world will come back to you.
-
Step 6
Learn the more intricate practice of Gardnerian wicca from your coven and it's members rather than trying to bury your nose in a book and learn to practice alone. Community, tradition and education through sight and experience are essential if you want to follow in this form of wicca.
