Wicca is a religion. It is believed to be based upon pre-Christian traditions of much of the UK, but a lot of it was created in the 1940s by a man named Gerald Gardner. The word "wicca" means "magician" in Old English.
The people who practice this religion are called Wiccans. They believe in a God and a Goddess, and they practice a kind of magic. Wiccans have eight big holidays each year, called sabbats. A group of Wiccans who worship and do magic together is a coven.
