Wicca is a modern, Earth-centred religion with roots in the ancient practices of our shamanic ancestors. Its practitioners, who call themselves Wiccans, honour the life-giving and life-sustaining powers of Nature through ritual worship and a commitment to living in balance with the Earth. Wicca is technically classified as one of many Pagan religions, though not all Wiccans would identify as Pagans—and plenty who identify as Pagans are not Wiccans.
