Dianic Wicca
Dianic Wicca, also known as Dianic Witchcraft〔 and, to some also as "Dianism," "Dianic Feminist Witchcraft," or simply "Feminist Witchcraft"'〕 is a neopagan religion of female-centered goddess worship and religious witchcraft. While some adherents identify as Wiccan, it differs from most traditions of Wicca in that only goddesses are worshiped (whereas most Wiccan traditions honor both female and male deities).〔Budapest, Zsuzsanna. ''Holy Book of Women's Mysteries'', The. 1980 (2003 electronic). ISBN 0-914728-67-9.〕〔Adler, Margot. ''Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America Today''. Boston: Beacon press, 1979; 1986. ISBN 0-8070-3237-9. Chapter 8: Women, Feminism, and the Craft".〕
While there is more than one tradition that calls itself Dianic,〔 the most well known is the female-only variety,〔 founded by Zsuzsanna Budapest in the United States in the 1970s.〔〔 It is notable for its worship of a single Goddess and focus on egalitarian, matriarchal feminism.〔 It is named after the Roman goddess Diana, but Dianics worship goddesses from many cultures, seeing them as "aspects" of a monotheistic goddess.〔 Dianic Wicca is an eclectic combination of elements from British Traditional Wicca, Italian folk-magic as recorded by Charles Leland in ''Aradia'', feminist values, folk magic and healing practices from a variety of different cultures.〔〔
==Beliefs and practices==
Dianic Wiccans of the Budapest lineage worship the Goddess, who they see as containing all goddesses, from all cultures; she is seen as the source of all living things and containing all that is within her.〔 Dianic covens practice magic in the form of mediation and visualization in addition to spell work. They focus especially on healing themselves from the wounds of the patriarchy while affirming their own womanhood.
Rituals can include reenacting religious and spiritual lore from a feminist standpoint, celebrating the female body, and mourning society's abuses of women.〔Foltz, Tanic G. “Women's Spirituality Research: Doing Feminism,” Sociology of Religion 64.4 (2000): 409-418.〕 The practice of magic is rooted in the belief that energy or 'life force' can be directed to enact change.〔 Smith, Brandy and Sharon Horne. "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered (GLBT) Experiences with Earth-Spirited Faith." The Journal of Homosexuality, 52.3/4 (2007): 235-248. 〕 However it is important to note that rituals are often improvised to suit individual or group needs and vary from coven to coven.〔 Warwick, Lynda L. "Feminist Wicca: Paths to Empowerment." Women & Therapy 16.2-3 (1995): 121. 〕 Some Dianic Wiccans eschew manipulative spellwork and hexing because it goes against the Wiccan Rede. However, many other Dianic witches (notably Budapest) do not consider hexing or binding of those who attack women to be wrong, and actively encourage the binding of rapists.〔
