What Is Wicca?

Wicca is a modern witchcraft religion rooted in reverence for nature, ritual practice, seasonal cycles, and relationship with the sacred. Though the modern form is most often spelled Wicca, some early historical references used Wica—a reminder that the tradition emerged in a living, developing form rather than arriving all at once.

Today, Wicca exists in many expressions: solitary and communal, devotional and magical, traditional and evolving. It is not only a religion of symbols and rites, but a living path shaped by practice, thought, ethics, and personal experience in the world.
