General principles of Wiccan beliefs: Wicca is an almost completely decentralized religion. George Knowles, a Wiccan author, has said: âWicca has no high authority, no single leader, no prophet and no Bible to dictate its laws and beliefsâ. 1 Many, perhaps most, Wiccans are solitary practitioners.Others form small local groups called covens, groves, etc.espect for Nature: Wicca is a natural religion, grounded in concern for the earth. Some Wiccans believe that all living things (including stars, planets, humans, animals, plants, rocks) have a spirit of some type. Many Wiccan rituals deal with bringing harmony and healing to nature.
