Quite simply, a Wiccan is one who follows the Wicca religion (also known as "The Craft"), an earth-centered religion originated by Gerald Brosseau Gardner (1884-1964) in the 1940s in the U.K. Its belief system is built around the pre-Christian traditions of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. In the 1960s and 1970s, Wicca began to spread to other countries, but it wasn't until 1985 that the U.S. government officially recognized Wicca as a religion.

Wicca is a ditheistic religion, recognizing the God and Goddess, and thus falls under the umbrella of paganism. Today, Wicca has many offshoots with different belief sets, some are slightly different and others deviate quite a bit from the original architecture. A perfect example is the open embrace of Wicca in the feminist community who, as a result, place more emphasis on Goddess-worship.

Some of these Wiccan subsets include:

Faerie
Eclectic
Gardnerian
