Chapter: 21. What is the Difference between Wicca and Witchcraft?
Blurb:
Wicca and witchcraft can be hard to differentiate, as their traditions overlap. Wicca is a modern witchcraft with specific beliefs and practices. Created by Gerald Gardner in mid-20th century England, Wicca was no different from general witchcraft. Now, we understand that Wicca is a type of witchcraft, while other forms have their own practices and origins. Non-Wiccan practitioners use various descriptors to define their practices, highlighting diversity within the witchcraft community.
