Wicca came to popularity on the American soil in the 1960’s and 1970’s with the Feminists Movement, the Civil Rights Movement and the era of cultural change. Women wanted to free themselves from the effects of the patriarchal Abrahamic religions. By inclusion women of color also rode that era of liberation with Wicca, witchcraft, and or African Traditional Religions. This was an era of seeing oneself in the Divine, Goddess and God.

Today Wicca is becoming more and more popular with all genders and all races and all gender preferences, because Wicca, by its own nature, allows for the freedom to practice outside of the religious box, and allows one to be what they want to be, without hard dogma, bigotry, misogyny or judgement. Wiccans are people of all walks of life, all races and all economic statuses.

While Wiccans are Witches, all Witches are NOT Wiccans. Wicca is a religion of light workers, meaning Wiccans work with positive magick. Wiccans work with the philosophy of “doing what one will, but harming none.” They work with what is called the “Wiccan Rede.” Wiccans follow the belief of the Goddess and the God. Wiccans believe in the duality of the Universe. This means Wiccans believe that there is a Divine Feminine and a Divine Masculine. Wiccans follow a protocol of altar working and they follow holy days called Sabbats and Esbats. So, while many Witches and Pagans places emphasis on magick and spells, Wiccans place emphasis on spiritual practices and the seasons.
