What is Wicca

F orget your stereotypical image of a warty old woman riding a broomstick, or hunched over a cauldron cooking some infernal potion. Forget, too, all you've heard of witchcraft and devil worship, because Wicca is none of those things.

Wiccans come from all walks of life - they may be doctors, teachers, and parents, they may be men or women. And far from involving devil worship, Wicca is a peaceful religion that celebrates nature and worships the Mother Goddess and her consort, the Horned God. Some Wiccans also use magic to direct natures energy to effect change, although you dont have to practice magic to be considered Wiccan. Wicca is a religion; the practice of magic, whether by a Wiccan or by any other, is known as witchcraft. Magic may be used for good or for ill but Wiccans, who believe that whatever energy you put out into the universe will be returned to you in kind, usually practice so called white (or benign) magic.

The modern religion of Wicca has its roots in many ancient pagan religions, including the Celtic traditions of the United Kingdom, but Wicca as we know it today was first popularized in 1954 by a British man named Gerald Gardner. Gardner had long had an interest in occult religions, and claimed that he had first been initiated into a coven in 1939, but had held back on revealing his beliefs until the repeal of the English Witchcraft laws (which strictly prohibited the practice of witchcraft) in the 1950s. Inspired by the coven, and influenced by Charles Lelands book The Gospel of the Witches, Gardner mixed ancient pagan beliefs with the rituals of the occult, added a few elements of ceremonial magic, and Wicca was born. Gardner formed his own coven and began initiating people into this new religion. Today, there are many Wiccans who choose to follow the beliefs laid down by Gerald Gardner in his Book of Shadows. They regard these beliefs as the true form of Wicca.

However, as Wicca began to spread, some found that the rules created by Gardner did not fulfil their spiritual needs. Practitioners began to develop their own rules and beliefs, and new traditions of Wicca were formed. Alexandrian Wicca was created by a member of a Gardnerian coven, who combined what he had learned from his time in the coven with his studies in Kabbalah. In contrast to Gardnerian Wicca, Alexandrian Wicca is more liberal, with the belief that you should use whatever works in your spirituality. But in common with Gardnerian Wicca, there is a strong influence on initiation, as well as using a degree system for training (with members progressing from neophyte to First Degree). Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wicca, as well as similar traditions with an emphasis on initiation and training, are known as traditional Wicca (or British Traditional Wicca).

Another well-known tradition is Dianic Wicca, which focuses on the feminine. Most Dianic covens are female-only (although some now welcome men), and most worship only the Goddess. Other traditions include Celtic Wicca, which blends Wiccan beliefs with ancient Celtic traditions, and Seax-Wica, which favors Norse deities and frequently uses runes for divination, as well as many others.

But by far the largest number of practitioners are what are known as Eclectic Wiccans. Eclectic Wiccans do not follow one particular tradition. Instead, they mix beliefs and practices from different traditions and ancient religions until they find a form of Wicca that works for them. This type of Wicca, also known as NeoWicca, is most often practiced by individual (or solitary) Wiccans, although there are some Eclectic covens formed by Wiccans with similar beliefs.
