The Center for the New Age
There is no doubt that Sedona, Arizona is one of the foremost vacation destinations in the United States. Many guests come to Sedona because they are interested in pursuing their curiosity regarding the New Age.
So what is this New Age? It is a modern approach, philosophy if you will, to man’s connection to the higher realms and to our own planet Earth. New Age promotes the concept that particular individuals are endowed with psychic abilities. Inasmuch as Sedona may be considered the New Age capital of the Western World, many individuals with psychic propensities gravitate to Sedona. We have fifteen extraordinary psychics practicing their arts here at the Center for the New Age.
Many of our psychic readers also conduct Vortex tours to the energy centers in Sedona. There are a number of Vortexes in Sedona, and while our psychics will customize a vortex tour to the client’s specifications, they concentrate on the four main vortex locations that balance, enhance and strengthen the individual’s unique energy.
For the optimum experience in Sedona, either psychic or vortex wise, come visit the Center for the New Age. We are located on Highway 179 across from Tlaquepaque, in the heart of Sedona.

Wicca
Mention the word “witch,” and the first thing that comes to the uniformed mind is an ugly old hag, stirring a brew of noxious substances boiling away in a black cauldron. A witch, as any Hollywood movie will portray, belongs to an organized devil worshipping cult where sexual orgies create black magic to inflict pain and suffering on unsuspecting enemies. This cannot be further from the truth.
The actual beliefs and practices of those who engage in folk magic and the Wiccan religion are centered in the balance of nature, and the view of dualistic Goddess and God deities. Modern neo-pagan Wiccans do not believe in the devil and they do not sell their souls to Satan. The material world is not viewed as evil, nor is sex a shameful act, nor is any individual held accountable for the transgressions of ancestors. Wicca asserts all gods are one God and all goddesses are Goddess; that we are all worshipping the same entities, regardless of what name we give to them.
Wicca is defined by three principles: belief in God and Goddess, the Wiccan Rede, and the Law of Return.
The Wiccan Rede is firmly grounded in ethics. An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will. As long as your actions do not harm anyone, you’re free to do what you want. Issues such as sexual orientation are strictly personal and no one else’s business. Harm includes much more than physical violence. It also includes among other things, abuse in any form, gossip, slander, spiritual or psychic damage. This rule contains another unwritten condition – do nothing that will harm yourself. If one abuses the body, denies it the necessities of life, or otherwise harms oneself, it is a violation of this ethic.
Another principle of Wicca, The Law of Return, states that we are held responsible for our own actions. It reads, Ever mind the rule of three/Three times your acts return to thee/This lesson well thou must learn/thou only gets what thee dost earn.
The Law of Return implies there are repercussions for every action one takes and serves as a reminder that nothing in the material world is free. The law is akin to the “Ten Commandments,” a framework through which situations can be viewed according to the potential for harm. The result is a religion with ethics and morals closely aligned with the ideal in American society.
Neo-pagans use folk magic techniques, rituals, and spells to improve their lives. A ritual involves the use of magical tools, a stated goal, and chants (prayers) to move energy to bring about the needed result or goal. To perform effective magick (to distinguish folk magic from theatrical magic), energy (the power of the universe) must be properly used. Contrary to popular belief, Wiccans do not cast spells to manipulate, hurt, injure or kill others. This would be in violation of both the Rede and the Law of Return. The craft of magick is the tool Wiccans use to animate energies for change.
Some Wiccans are initiated into a loosely organized group such as a coven. Other Wiccans practice solitarily, doing their own thing. Some Wiccans focus on women’s spirituality while others focus on the way of the faeiry. However, every tradition shares a reverence for the Goddess and God; every tradition acknowledges the cycles of the moon, and the blessings of nature and magick. Wicca is not anti-Christian; it is simply non Christian. Ritual killing, orgies, cursing, hexing and pacts with the devil are not part of the Wicca religion. These are attributes ascribed to Wicca to denigrate its non traditional belief system. Wiccans live by the codes of “Harm None,” and “The Law of Return” and practice magick in a gentle, constructive way to bring about positive change.
In this world of turbulence, hate, aggression and religious fanaticism, is not Wicca a refreshing outlook and a belief both magical and mystical?
