Fabricated by Gerald Gardner, a student of Anton Szandor LaVey, the world renown Satanist, wicca is the world's oldest seventy year old faith construct; It is a mishmash of satanism and witchcraft seasoned with a hodgepodge of other historically inaccurate blathering. Its mutually contradictory tenants are frequently embraced by teens and those bereft of a fully formed intellect.

1. Bunch of teenage girls chanting over candles, wearing pentacles, and occasionally shouting "Oh My Goddess!" Mostly in it to rebel against Christianity. They will typically buy at least 10 books, many of them containing spells perfect for the uncreative, unimaginative teen. This phenomenon is a result of the desire to be something without any real work, or patience, or dedication.
2. An initiatory, orthopraxic, oathbound, nature-based fertility cult. *Real* Wiccans have been initiated by a lineaged high priest(ess), OR directly by deity (but this is very rare). Because the names of their gods and the specific practices of rituals are oathbound, eclectic Wiccans are not real Wiccans, just Wicca-influenced neopagans. Because it is orthopraxic (defined by practices more than beliefs), these oathbound mysteries are necessary to be Wiccan. If you have no lineage from Gerald Gardner, you have no knowledge of the mysteries. Without this knowledge, you are not Wiccan.

Eclectic: Oh my goddess! So you're like, Wiccan?
Wiccan: Yes
Eclectic: Oh cool, what's your fave ritual, mine is Silver RavenWolf's sage incense chant!!11!
Wiccan: Oh, well, I prefer ceremonial magic, which involves extensive use of tools as symbolism and the calling of various spirits to do bidding.
Eclectic: Ugh, you uptight traditional losers!
Wiccan: At least I actually know stuff.

Wicca is a convenient religion created by people who want to feel like they're powerful (through spells) but also don't want to have to be pinned down to any particular belief.
There's no set definition of Wicca, so people are free to make up their own religion as they see fit. It's the ultimate "religion" of convenience, if you can even call it a religion.
If you do a little research, you'll find that most of what is "Wiccan" is made up out of thin air by individuals and groups. It's some kind of strange group delusion. Couple that with the fact that the supposed "spells" don't work, you can see how delusional it really is.
Next time you see a Wiccan, tell them to prove they can cast spells. Prepare to be disappointed.

No religion let's me just make up stuff, except for Wicca.

Wicca is an oathbound fertility cult, started by Gerald Gardner in 1954. This means that in order to call oneself Wiccan, you must be initiated into a coven that can trace it's lineage back to Gardner. It must also be stated that almost no coven will accept members under the age of eighteen, due to the highly sexual nature of the initiation ceremony.
In a coven, all members are clergy. There is a high priest and high priestess that take on the roles of the God and Goddess of the British Isles.
Wicca is based off ancient traditions, but it is not ancient itself. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot.
Wiccans are pagans and practice witchcraft.
Wicca is plagued with people, mostly stupid teenagers, who try and unrightfully claim the title of Wiccan. These people usually will argue endlessly with people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about, and are known as fluffy bunnies.
You should go read some Gerald Gardner. He made the freakin' religion, and only he can say what goes.
