O que é: A Wicca costuma tratar a natureza como realidade sagrada e como contexto privilegiado para experiência religiosa.
Como a tradição entende: Paisagens, estações, ciclos lunares, fertilidade, morte e renovação participam da vida ritual e simbólica. O mundo natural não é apenas cenário, mas parte do horizonte espiritual da prática.
Base textual e contexto: Esse tema aparece em liturgias, calendários rituais, livros modernos e na própria estrutura das festas sazonais.
Debates e variações: Algumas correntes articulam a natureza em chave mais devocional; outras em chave mais simbólica, ecológica ou mágica.
