“Wicca is both a religion and a Craft. … As a religion – like any other religion – its purpose is to put the individual and the group in harmony with the divine creative principal of the Cosmos, and its manifestation at all levels. As a Craft, its purpose is to achieve practical ends by psychic means, for good, useful and healing purposes. In both aspects, the distinguishing characteristics of Wicca are its Nature – based attitude, its small group autonomy … and its philosophy of creative polarity at all levels, from Goddess and God to Priestess and Priest.”
'Eight Sabbats For Witches', Janet and Stewart Farrar

Wicca is one of the most popular forms of modern Paganism. Witchcraft and Wicca are viewed as two distinct paths for some, while for others, the boundaries between the two are much more blurred. Whatever their noticed differences, they both share similar practices and beliefs.
Witches have eight Sabbats throughout the year. Craft rituals are usually carried outdoors and include simple rites to honor the gift of life and Nature’s seasons.
Wiccans worship the God and Goddess and connect with the power of the Universe. We worship the Horned God as well as the Triple Goddess. All gods and goddesses, even of various faiths, are accepted as different aspects of one greater Divine Power.
Witchcraft is a path of candle magic, love spells, Wicca spell, the journey of a profound poetry of the soul, joining with the mysteries of Nature and the Old Gods.
