Devil-free Craft - Is devil worship part of the Wicca religion?
One of the most common misconceptions about the Wicca religion is that it involves devil worship. On the contrary, there is no satanic form in Wicca, no evil to blame for life's low points. Wiccans believe in balance, not dichotomy, meaning that everything has its place and purpose; nothing is "good" or "bad", per se, except perhaps on a situational basis: for a mundane example, food is neither good nor bad, but it is "good" when you are hungry and "bad" when you are full (or perhaps on a diet). Practicing Wicca involves putting one's life (including the environment) in good order, and the concept of evil or a devil figure does not enter into this way of life at all.

Yes and....the Devil is a christian notion, not a wiccan one. Our own horned figure well above the chatolic notions of good and bad. No we are not devil worshipers - we do not even believe in the devil :)

True,
I am a 10th generation witch and "the Devil" was started by Christions because of people who wouldnt conform to their ideas.
Back in the "christian" times a healer was concerdered a witch or devil worshiper.
