What is Witchcraft or Wicca?
This is a nature-based belief system or religion. Not all “witches” follow the belief system. Some practice what is called the “old religion” which has its roots in pagan pre-monotheistic folk ways and beliefs and usually follows the seasonal cycles. Many witches believe in a polytheistic deity structure, but some simply practice magick (often spelled with a “k” to differentiate it from stage magic). Witches can choose to practice alone as solitaries or in covens which are more structured. There are also family groups or traditions which trace their practices and beliefs within the same close group throughout several generations.
