Word origin
The term 'Wicca' was first introduced by Gerald Gardner in the 1950s to describe the modern pagan practices he was promoting. The word itself is thought to have been derived from Old English and means 'to bend' or 'to shape,' reflecting the idea of shaping one's reality through magic and spiritual practices. Wicca draws inspiration from various ancient pagan traditions, folklore, and ceremonial magic.
