Wicca: Wicca is a religion. It is a neo-pagan reconstruction of witchcraft. Most Wiccans call themselves witches, but not all witches are necessarily Wiccan.

Wiccans believe in a God and a Goddess that compliment each other and together make up

divinity. The godess is often associated with the earth, the moon or the mother archetype. The god is associated with the sun and embodies the power of the father.

Wiccans celebrate at monthly intervals usually at the time of the full moon. This is done in order to take full advantage of the moons energy. They also celebrate eight holy days throughout the year known as sabbats. The wiccan religion is based on the concept of cause and effect as opposed to the good and evil of the traditional popular religions.
