| Summary: | This article begins an ethical analysis of Eclectic Wicca. It outlines the basic concepts within Wiccan morality as told through current Wiccan writers. The Wiccan morality is based on the belief of interconnectedness between every part of reality and asserts that human beings, as willful beings, have a responsibility to help whenever feasible, while avoiding harm, if possible. Further, this article discusses preliminary problems with the Wiccan moral system, such as its simplicity, ambiguity, subjectivity, and the hyper-responsibility it places on the practitioner. This article also suggests philosophic avenues that could alleviate many of these theoretical dilemmas. |
