'''Wicca''' was created in 1954 by Gerald Gardener, based on ancient pre-Christian [[pagan]] ideals. Etymology: likely from Old English wicca wizard, they affirm [[witchcraft]] and magic. <ref>[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wicca Merriam-Webster -Wicca]</ref>
It can be very difficult to come up with a universal definition of what a Wiccan is. Most Wiccans desire to live as one with nature, which could be derived stolen from [[Buddhism]] and other religions. Wicca calls on the practitioner to act as their own priest(ess)/shaman, interacting directly with the spirit force in a horned God and Goddess. <ref>[http://www.religioustolerance.org/wic_faq.htm FAQs about Wicca that people ask, Religioustolerance.org]</ref> As a group, Wicca members are sometimes fully defended by [[liberal]]s. They are inclusive, they worship nature, they promote peace, they don't adhere to orthodox religious rules, believing that there is no such thing as the devil. As such, liberals are willing to overlook the demonic side to Wicca, their bizarre sacrifice rituals, spirit world connections. They want the world to understand that they are an 'earth-based' religion.
