I want to start out with the history of wicca -history of Wicca documents the rise of the Neopagan religion of Wicca and related witchcraft-based Neopagan religions.[nb 1] Wicca originated in the early twentieth century, when it developed amongst secretive covens in England who were basing their religious beliefs and practices upon what they read of the historical Witch-Cult in the works of such writers as Margaret Murray. It was subsequently popularised in the 1950s by a number of figures, namely Gerald Gardner, who had been initiated into the Craft – as Wicca is often known – by the New Forest coven in 1939. Gardner's form of Wicca, the Gardnerian tradition, was spread by both him and his followers like the High Priestesses Doreen Valiente, Patricia Crowther and Eleanor Boneinto other parts of the British Isles, and also into other, predominantly English-speaking, countries across the world. In the 1960s, new figures arose in Britain who popularised their own forms of the religion, including Robert Cochrane, Sybil Leek and Alex Sanders, and organisations began to be formed to propagate it, such as the Witchcraft Research Association. It was during this decade that the faith was transported to the United States, where it was further adapted into new traditions such as Feri, 1734 and Dianic Wicca in the ensuing decades, and where organisations such as the Covenant of the Goddess were formed. From the 1970s onward, books began to be published by such figures as Paul Huson, Scott Cunningham, and Stewart and Janet Farrar which encouraged self-initiation into the Craft, leading to a boost in the number of adherents and the development of traditions. With the rising popularity of Wicca, it was used as a partial basis for witchcraft-based American films and television shows, further increasing its profile, particularly amongst younger people, in the 1990s.

A fantastic series of articles on Witchvox has been forgotten by many. Written fifteen years ago, the website owner of Witchvox, Wren, wrote a great beginner's guide to Witchcraft. As these beautiful articles were lost in the matrix of Witchvox, I decided to scoop them out and transfer it to Wattpad. I claim no ownership, my intent was to put the article out on Wattpad for easier access. Many people seek to learn how to become a witch, and here is a way to do it. Enjoy this treasure.

This Is all the information I have collected since discovering Wicca. I thought it might be nice to share. I hope it helps and teaches a few things. The sharing of information has always been a passion of mine. I love to research and learn as much as I possibly can, so I hope that I can pass all of my knowledge on to others. I welcome all who want to read it, whether you're Wiccan and want to give it a look or just curious about the religion. "...knowledge is the food of the soul." -Plato. Blessed Be!

Heyya, I wanted to start this for people who are interested in Wicca, or for those who just wanted to learn more. Wicca is put down a lot in many societies and and is just misunderstood thanks to Hollywood. I found a lot of the information in my own time thanks to the dedicated followers of Wicca. You can read this if you want to, but please keep your comments to yourself if they are negative, Thanks!
