The 13 Goals of a Witch (Wiccan)

Wiccans think that we should strive to attain these 13 goals:

  1. Know yourself
  2. Know your craft (Wicca)
  3. Learn
  4. Apply knowledge with wisdom
  5. Achieve balance 
  6. Keep your words in good order
  7. Keep your thoughts in good order
  8. Celebrate life
  9. Attune with the cycles of the earth
  10. Breathe and eat correctly
  11. Exercise the body
  12. Meditate
  13. Honor the Goddess and God

In summary, these goals explain the importance of being one with nature, knowing who you are, and taking care of yourself. 

The goals have Wiccan origin and were featured in Scott Cunningham’s book, “Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner.” It is a great read, and if you haven’t read it already, I highly recommend you do. Even if you don’t practice Wicca, you can still have a good takeaway from the book.  These goals (similar to the Wiccan Rede) provide information on how to act and be more in tune with yourself and with nature. 

Even though I am not necessarily Wiccan, I like to hold myself to these goals because I think they are good to live by.
