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.

2.
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.

Get the Wiccamug. 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.

Get the Wiccamug. 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.

Get the Wiccamug. First of all.... all of you ignorant people dont need to criticize something you dont understand or dont have ANY knowledge about. Wicca has nothing to do with demons and we dont WORSHIP anything. Wicca is an earth based religion that acknowledges the valuable resources that most people could care less about. We live because of earth,sun,and moon.With these three things brings life for all: medicine, crops, trees, everything thats real and in front of our faces. Without these things we would die. Magic isnt even a key factor in the religion....it's just a perk that WE know how to manipulate the energies around us by using the other 90% of our brain. We believe in saving the enviroment and charishing it with respect. In turn gives us back in life.It to me is the most real religion out there. The oldest one in FACT. Everything comes in pairs with equal values.You cant have one unless there's the other. So if you feel otherwise and dont accept our beliefs... at least have some dignity to know what its about before you go on a rant rage about what you think it is.....because you really have NO idea.
No examples here.WICCA

Get the WICCAmug. 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.
