What Is Wicca?

We do learn something new each day Brysing. Quite ironic i learned half of what you just said when i started reading Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft earlier today. I found it very interesting to read about the origin of the name (before that i didn't know much besides the fact that the term Wicca meant "wise one" and came from Gardner) Quite much to learn but i still found it interesting either way~

Yes, magigirl, Wicca is a very old word; as far as I recall the origin is Germanic. I am pleased that you are studying the origins; I am not familiar with the book you are reading. As for the rest of this thread, I think I'll leave well alone! All I did was try to answer the first question (Not the first post,which was multiple questions.), and was told I was wrong.

Wicca is a modern Pagan religion which was introduced to the world by Gerald Gardner in the early 1950's following the repeal of the Anti-Witchcraft laws in Britain.
