Chupp, T. (2019) Contemplative Wicca: Reflections on Contemplative Practice for Pagans. London: Aeon.
Abstract
Contemplative Wicca is an exclusively contemplative practice of Wicca based on science, the concept of Oneness, and the traditional Wiccan veneration of nature. This book offers a contemplative, monotheistic, pagan theology, and provides a unique and forward-thinking theological viewpoint upon which to base spiritual practice, extending the current discussion of Wiccan practice and belief.
This book explores how Oneness provides the logical underpinning for contemplation and the spirit of unity which is so essential to healing society today. Little formal pagan theology has been done to date, and doing it is necessary to further interreligious dialog and to establish paganism in general and Wicca in particular as legitimate religions. This book is intended to remedy this lack, and contribute to the discussion of Wicca among pagan scholars and serious practitioners who may be seeking to incorporate contemplative ideas and meanings into their work and the construction of their faith.

Contemplative Wicca is an exclusively contemplative practice of Wicca based on science, the concept of Oneness, and the traditional Wiccan veneration of nature. Contemplative practice both informs and is supported by this theology. A contemplative, nature-based religion is especially well-suited to address the modern issues of social injustice, values degradation, and environmental collapse. Although there have been other similar integrations of nature and religious belief, this particular combination of tenets provides a unique and forward-thinking theological viewpoint upon which to base spiritual practice, and extends the current discussion of Wiccan practice and belief. This theological exploration of Contemplative Wicca is intended to contribute to the discussion of Wicca among those who may be seeking to incorporate contemplative ideas and meanings into their work and the construction of their faith.
