Wiccans believe that the world was created and is maintained by the joining together of the God and the Goddess in the Sacred Marriage (also called The Great Rite).
The Golden Dawn, and Masonic rituals. Newer versions of Wicca accomodate those who practice as solitaries.
• Wicca views the spiritual and material worlds as overlapping: the Gods are not distant beings but entities whose presence we can experience. Wiccans believe that Divinity is immanent within the world, and therefore all that is is in some part Divine.
• Wicca stresses personal experience with divinity and developing greater harmony with the larger world.
• Wiccans believe that each person is able to experience direct contact with the Divine without a need for an intermediary.
• Wicca teaches that we all are ultimately responsible for our own actions.
• Wiccans tend to believe in reincarnation, the soul is reborn into this world many times.

I copied/pasted the parts of the article which make strong sense about Wicca and appeal to me personally. Not all of it makes sense to me (I don't mean 'sense' as in understanding).

What does really make sense to me about Wicca, is the twin deity concept. I personally believe that either Jesus/Mary Magdalene or Satan/Lilith are twin deities (I don't know for sure yet if I prefer Jesus or Satan). And then you have what I call 'God the Force', which is universal and permeates anything. It's a kind of trinity. It just doesn't sound to me like I'd be a Wiccan, given it doesn't relate to Christianity or Satan at all.
