Pagan/Wiccan Religion - Wicca/ Witchcraft


Expert: Jason - 3/29/2009

Question
I am wondering what the differance is between Wicca and Witchcraft?

Answer
Dear Selena,

Hello and thank you for contacting me. There is often confusion about the differences between witchcraft and Wicca. This is because at one time they were used interchangeably. Now that the number of people who are interested in Paganism and the occult has grown there have been changes. Wicca is a religion that has fairly specific beliefs and rituals which may be a little too long and involved to talk about in one email. Witchcraft is the European style of magic. Most Wiccans do practice witchcraft but there are plenty of people who practice witchcraft but they do not consider themselves to be Wiccan because of a difference in theology or rituals.

I hope that this has made some sense to you and feel free to contact me again if you'd like.

Jason
