Shakti Wicca is a tradition of ecelctic Wicca that draws most of its spiritual inspiration from the Hindu
tradition, in the same manner that other Wiccan traditions draw the bulk of their inspiration from Celtic, Norse,
Greek, Roman, Egyptian or other spiritual cultures. It is considered an eclectic tradition, despite its focus on the
Hindu pantheon and spiritual philosophy, due to the freedom it grants dedicants in creating their own path.
Shakti Wicca is similar to what has been generally referred to in the NeoPagan community as "Hindu Wicca", and "IndoPaganism",
although Shakti Wicca strives to provide a definite belief structure and organized mentorship program, which is easily accessible
to those who resonate with a Hindu-inspired Wiccan spiritual path.
Shakti Wicca provides mentorship in a methodology of a blended worship and ritual structure that integrates eclectic
Wiccan traditions with universalist Hindu spirituality - so that it remains familiar and easily adhered
to by modern Western dedicants. Worship will always contain simple, but important elements from Hindu puja (ritual
worship) and the overall theology will be generally based in Shaktism, although the extent to which the dedicant incorporates
traditional Hindu aspects - such as Sanskrit, dietary restrictions, etc - is generally up to the individual. Reference
to the Wiccan cosmology, mythos and basic ritual framework will be maintained in order to keep logical syncretic correspondences
between the two traditions.

"Shaktism is a denomination of Hinduism that worships Shakti, or Devi Mata -- the Hindu name for the Great Divine
Mother -- in all of her forms whilst not rejecting the importance of masculine and neuter divinity (which are however deemed
to be inactive in the absence of the Shakti). In pure Shaktism, the Great Goddess, or Devi, is worshiped as nothing less than
the highest divinity, Supreme Brahman Itself, the "one without a second," with all other forms of Divinity, female or male,
considered to be merely her diverse manifestations." Wikipedia
"Shaktas use chants, real magic, holy diagrams, yoga and rituals to call forth cosmic forces and awaken
the great kundalini power within the spine." Hinduism Today

IndoPagan Paths Discussion Group
The goal of our IndoPagan Paths Discussion group is to foster fellowship among likeminded individuals,
and to learn from those following a syncretic path. This particular mode of spirituality seems to be relatively rare within
the modern NeoPagan community, and this group aims to close the gap and facilitate a sharing of information and practical
application methods intuited by Shakti Wiccan, Shaiva Wiccan, Hindu Wiccans, and IndoPagans everywhere.
To join our discussion group,
