A peaceful Earth-based religion where its followers are often persecuted by brainwashed Judeo-Christian religions. Wicca is an ancient religion that came back up when the British Witchcraft laws were repealed. This was around the 1900s-1920s. Dr. Gerald Gardner was the first person courageous enough to publish some books about the Old Religion.
Wiccans believe in a God and a Goddess. Some bad stereotypes are "Naked Ladies dancing around a fire and worshipping Satan," or "A made-up religion that's based around Dungeons and Dragons and J.R.R. Tolkien's books." These people are all uneducated about Wicca and refuse to say anything nice about a relgion that's not theirs.
Wicca, commonly called Witchcraft, supports magic(k), but not all Wiccans believe in magic.

A branch of Paganism which focuses SOLELY on good. NOT devil-worshipping. Wiccans believe in the five elements-Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Spirit. A traditional circle is of five, although four can be a circle as well, as Spirit may represent itself. Wiccans would NEVER use the craft irresponsibly. As well as that, they don't use these "hexes" or "love spells" or whatever one may think. They do use candles, but it's to represent the elements, NOT for spells. During the Sabbats, different-coloured candles and different-scented incenses are used to represent the holiday. The aforementioned Sabbats are the holidays which represent the cycle of life-the birth and death of the Mother and Sun God. The true practitioners of Wicca do NOT dress purely in black. It doesn't matter how you dress. And anyone who "casts" these love spells and hexes and so forth isn't actually Wiccan. They're posers! They see something that people don't approve of and latch onto it, rebelling or something. These are NOT real Wiccans. Many say that Wicca was not invented until the nineteen-fifties. However, Wiccan references have been made as far back as the eighteen hundreds. Gerard Gardner did indeed research the religion, and maybe he filled in the blanks and strung them together. He is the most renowned Wiccan expert, certainly. So really, think before you speak-just because you don't know something doesn't mean it's bad! And Wicca is definitely a major example of this case
From the Wiccan Rede: "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
Uneducated Fool: "Ew, look at that Wicca chick, she's gonna cast a spell on me. What a freak!" Think before you speak.

Get the Wicca mug.
A religion that branches off of peganism, that focuses on white magick, therefore decieving many people that it is ok to practice, because it does not involve black magick. They apperantly do not worship Satan because they don't believe in him. They worship the sun (god), moon (goddess), trees, sticks, rocks, pondscum, and other a/biotic things. They play with demons so they can enchance their life (i.e. get a date, pass a test, get a raise, etc.), and entice others to join with the promise of power. They are mildly persecuted (although they want you to think that they are heavily persecuated), and love to bring up the "witch hunts" done by the Catholic church in the midevil era. They strive to be at one with nature, and generally believe in reincarnation or becoming inanimate with the impersonal cosmos. They will also violently refute the idea that they gained many youth recruits because of Harry Potter, even though their own studies show that the number of youth between ages 12-18 showing an interest in Wicca has skyrocketed since the release of the Harry Potter series. They have no book of their religions (officially), but they do have a large library of their teachings, written by various other Wiccans (mostly female). They do have a "black book" of various spells and incantations (which are like prayers, only completely different; prayers are to God and incantations are to a/biotic things and demons). Many ex-Wiccans testify that when they tried to leave Wicca, they experienced extreme supernatural trauma. Some believe in fairies and sprites and many other happy things. They are ok to befriend because they are much less likely to curse you than most other pegan religions.

A tolerant religion, yet many of it’s believers will rant to you for hours on how much Christianity, Judaism and Islam suck.
Some of them are legitimately good people who just want to remain in touch with the ancient culture of their ancestors, and I admire that, and they are pretty chill people. Unfortunately a very loud amount of adherents are huge hypocrites that don’t know what the Wiccan beliefs actually are
