Much discussion has been had on the use of the term Wicca to describe the religion that many follow.
From Doreen Valiente pp 81 The Rebirth of Witchcraft One neologism which has become very widespread is the use of the word ‘Wicca’ to mean witchcraft. In fact, it means nothing of the kind. It is the Old English word for a male witch, as any good dictionary will show. The value of any claim to practise ‘Traditional Wicca’ may be judged accordingly. The feminine form of the word was wicce and the verb ‘to bewitch’ was wiccian.
