seek after Jesus, not witchcraft. He's waiting for you to talk to Him - because He loves you.

Gerald Gardner. Do a study on him and what he wrote in England... he wrote one fictional book about witches in general. But as for it being equated, it isn't in the sense you are thinking. Those are not interchangeable terms. Wicca comes from Old English, pronounced wotcha, and merely meant male "wizard"... wizard only meant wise during that time. It had nothing to do with actual witchcraft. Gerald Gardner is the one who placed the word Wica (yes, 1 C there... that is the older spelling... another c was added later) into his writings about witchcraft. A lot of the general info on this has been debunked as it came from writings of people who had no background in the area and others who just thought it was really cool sounding and added into their own ideas of what "witchcraft" really was.
