Wicca – Wicca is a neo-pagan religion that is growing in popularity and acceptance in the United States and Europe. Many websites and books are claiming to teach “real” Wicca, but the truth is, there is no consensus among Wiccans as to what the religion is all about. This is because Wicca, as it is practiced now, is only about 50 years old. Wicca is a belief system that Briton Gerald Gardner cobbled together in the 1940s and 1950s from various religious traditions, beliefs, and Freemason rituals. One major factor contributing to the abiding fascination with Wicca is the purported use of spells and magick (a deliberate misspelling intended to separate Wiccans from magicians and illusionists). Curiosity seekers and spiritual neophytes are most eager to delve into these mysteries. Not all Wiccans practice witchcraft, but those who do claim magick is to them what prayer is to a Christian. The difference between the two is that Wiccans claim magick is simply using their minds to control matter or appealing to their favorite deity for a favor. At the same time, Christians call upon an omnipotent, omnipresent God to heal people, intervene, and work in their lives.

Windchimes (The earliest known wind-chimes can be traced back to 1100 B.C. China. It was believed throughout Southeast Asia that bells promoted peace and good health. Bells are significant in Buddhism, a critical “part of honoring the Three Jewels or Three Treasures;” the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha (Naillon). Buddhists attached wind chimes and wind bells to the eaves of sacred religious structures to create an almost deafening sound in the wind. Wind chimes in Asia and the ancient Mediterranean attract good spirits and ward off evil ones. Many people consider wind chimes to be good luck. Wind chimes are thought to have a healing effect on the mind and body and are often used in Feng Shui regarding the chi energy flow.
Wishes – (These are things such as breaking the wishbone on a chicken and wishing, people throwing coins into wishing wells, wishing on eyelashes, and children blowing out the candles on birthday cakes after making a wish. Wishing on shooting stars and ladybugs. Wishing on specific number combinations. A white horse crossing a person’s path causes them to make a wish. Picking dandelions, blowing all the seeds off, and making wishes. The Irish believed in leprechauns and believed they granted wishes if they caught one. +

Yoga (A Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures) is widely practiced for health and relaxation. There are many different kinds of yoga. Kundalini Yoga is the awakening or release of the latent female energy believed to lie coiled at the base of the spine. The origins of yoga are pagan. Yoga stems from the Vedas - the Indian holy texts from around 1900 BC. Besides yoga, three major religions came from those texts - Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The goal of yoga stretches, exercises, and mental techniques is to connect you with a false 'god' or 'energy', or to discover that you are god ('god is everything'). The agenda behind New Age beliefs is to get people’s focus off the true God and back on themselves (or another false god or belief system). The word 'yoga' literally means 'to join' or 'to unite' and is connected with a sense of 'being' or 'deity'. In yoga, many different deities are linked with the practice, you could join or unite with. Is there Holy Yoga?, How should Christians view Yoga?, Yoga = Kundalini
